Call to action as virus spreads anti-Jewish hate

Posted

New anti-Semitic events across Europe have triggered a call for governments and Jewish communities to not remain complacent.

“The window of time to build a plan to eradicate anti-Semitism is running out,” World Zionist Organization Vice Chairman Yaakov Hagoel said.

In one of many incidents, a man hurled anti-Semitic abuse at a woman in Berlin. “These Jews are everywhere, get away from here, Zidovsky scum,” he screamed (in Polish “Zidovsky” can be translated to “Jew.”)

“The coronavirus-related anti-Semitic events will escalate and become even more violent and physical,” Hagoel warned.
