(Jewish Group) European Jews set out 'red lines' ahead of conference in Brussels

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

(October 23, 2018 / European Jewish Press) Ahead of the European elections in May 2019, the European Jewish Association (EJA), a Brussels-based group representing Jewish communities across the continent, is launching a wide-ranging consultation of European Jewry in order to get agreement around a series of “red lines.”

The draft red lines, which include the exclusion from government of parties that espouse anti-Semitism as set out in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition, call on all political parties to pass binding resolutions rejecting the anti-Israel BDS movement as fundamentally anti-Semitic and to support freedom of religion, will be debated and voted on at the EJA’s flagship annual conference from Nov. 6-7 in Brussels.

Once approved, an official resolution, encompassing the views of Jewry across the continent, will be forwarded to all political leaders and parties standing in the European elections, and are expected to be signed up to and included in party literature and manifestos.

“For Jews across Europe, the stakes in the forthcoming European elections have rarely been higher,” said EJA chairman and founder Rabbi Menachem Margolin.
