RESOLUTION - Modernising and universalising the fight against antisemitism

Preamble:

The fight against antisemitism must be modernised and universalised, no longer relying solely on memory and commemoration, but mobilising all key actors: legislative, governmental, and civil society, to confront its contemporary forms.

EUJS notes that:

  1. Memory alone is no longer sufficient, and is even being weaponised today against Jewish communities.
  2. Across Europe - in Italy, Germany, France and beyond - official remembrance often masks a disengagement from the actual struggle against rising antisemitism.
  3. Anti-Zionism has become a key vector of today's antisemitism, rendering many current frameworks of memory and education ineffective or derealised.

EUJS believes that:

  1. The fight against antisemitism must address its modern expressions, including hate on campus, online hate, conspiracism, and attacks targeting Jewish identity through the demonisation of Israel. 
  2. It requires the coordinated engagement of all actors: politics, universities, and anti-racist associations. 
  3. The fight against antisemitism cannot be siloed - it must be integrated into the broader struggle against all forms of racism and hate, in the name of a universal and indivisible anti-racist commitment.

EUJS resolves to:

  1. Advocate for strategic conversations with key decision-makers and stakeholders who hold access to essential political, institutional and financial resources.
  2. Unite all available forces to build a modern, proactive, and inclusive coalition against antisemitism and racism in all their forms.
