The safety and security of European Jewry is on the brink. That’s why we’re calling on all EU member states to immediately adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA’s) definition of antisemitism.
So far, 18 of the 27 European states within the EU have formally adopted the IHRA definition including: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden, as well as the United Kingdom. What about those that have not? What are they waiting for? They have no excuse!
Adopting this definition is an important and necessary first step to encoding and enforcing clear legislation against such hate. You can help to protect and defend European Jews by signing our petition to European Council President Charles Michel asking him to do everything in his power to encourage all EU member states to immediately adopt the IHRA and EU’s recommended definition of antisemitism.
It doesn’t matter if Jews are threatened close to home or half a world away, one Jew in peril or an entire community, we must always stand prepared to expose the threats and take action. Because if we won’t, who will?
So please, help us write a safer future for European Jewry by signing your petition today.
Thank you.

P.S. For too long, Europe’s leaders have not paid serious attention to the rebirth of antisemitic hate, and now it has reached a fever pitch. Sign our petition today to urge all EU member states to take a critically important step and adopt a common definition of antisemitism.
