On October 7, 2023, a crime against humanity was committed in Israel: more than a thousand innocent people, most of them Jews, of all nationalities, were massacred, injured, taken hostage. Never before have so many Jews been hunted since the fall of Nazism.

Since October 7, what should have aroused universal disapproval has also provoked an unprecedented wave of anti-Semitism throughout the world, well before Israel entered the war against Hamas.

Once again, in their history, the Jews feel threatened.

The fight against anti-Semitism calls more than ever for ambitious actions of prevention, education but also the strongest condemnation of all anti-Semitic comments and acts.

Should we remember it? Hatred of Jews is universal and constitutes a very specific form of racism in that it affects a people in itself. It is consubstantial with numerous ideologies such as Nazism, radical Islamism, ancestral deicidal prejudices, the plans to destroy the State of Israel, without forgetting the most abject conspiracies.

Should we also remember this? When we attack Jews, we sooner or later attack free women and men of good will and other minorities.

Although dozens of International Days take place each year, there is no Day Against Anti-Semitism, even though we are faced with one of the oldest forms of racism.

It is high time to right this injustice!

Ladies and gentlemen, we ask you to work towards the establishment of a Day against Anti-Semitism, national in each of your countries, European within the European Union and the Council of Europe, and global in the framework of the United Nations.

We propose that these Days Against Anti-Semitism be held on October 7 each year, in memory of the crime against humanity committed on October 7, 2023 in Israel.
