Tuesday, May 22, 2012

Evropski Židovski kongres (EJC) je održao sastanak Izvršnog odbora , u Pragu 15.svibnja 2012. Nakon sastanka su svi članovi odbora bili pozvani od češkog premijera Petra Nečasa u palaču Lichtenstein na diskusiju o novim opasnostima za židovsku zajednicu. EJC je primio od češkog premijera  prijedlog njegovog plana kako da se najbolje tretira taj problem.

Na vrhu programa sastanka  EJC sa premijerom  Češke su bile trostruke opasnosti :  jačanje neo-nacizma, koji je iskoristio ekonomsku situaciju, huškanje i napadi  muslimanskih ekstremista i mogući rast antisemitizma  u Evropi zbog eskalacije na Srednjem Istoku.

EJC predsjednik dr. Moshe Kantor je uručio premijeru Nečasu nagradu " Compass of Jerusalem Award" za prijateljstvo prema židovskom narodu i državi Izrael i  za njegov rad na tolerantnijoj i pravednijoj Evropi.

“We thanked Prime Minister Nečas for his endorsement and noted the low levels of anti-Semitism in the Czech Republic. We hope that this can serve as a model for other parts of Europe,” Kantor said.  “It is important that a strong message is sent out that the delegitimization of Israel is akin to the New Anti-Semitism and has no place in Europe.”
