🚨🎓SIGNALEMENT : L’étudiante de L1 Économie à @SorbonneParis1 qui a exclu ses camarades juifs (ou supposés juifs) du groupe Instagram de la promo s’appelle Teba Nezar. 🚮 Elle a supprimé du groupe plusieurs étudiants uniquement en raison de leur prénom à consonance juive. Une autre étudiante a été exclue parce qu’elle affichait sur son profil Instagram le nom des scouts juifs.. Teba Nezar a ensuite écrit : « S’il y a d’autres sionistes dans ce groupe en plus de ceux que j’ai déjà tej, vous pouvez d’ores et déjà le quitter. On ne veut pas de vous ici 🇵🇸. » 💼🔍 Depuis que ses agissements ont été révélés, Teba Nezar a supprimé son compte LinkedIn. Mais il est trop tard. Chaque antisémite sera identifié, traqué et exposé publiquement. Désormais, lorsqu’un employeur cherchera son nom avant un recrutement, il tombera sur ce signalement et saura. Nous n’accepterons jamais que nos étudiants soient ostracisés ou intimidés parce qu’ils portent un patronyme juif, parce qu’ils le sont ou parce qu’ils sont fiers de leur identité. 📢 La Présidente de @SorbonneParis1, Christine @NeauLeduc, a réagi aujourd’hui : « Cela est tout simplement intolérable et l’université a saisi dès ce matin la justice pour ces faits, tout comme elle engagera des poursuites disciplinaires dès que l’auteur sera identifié. » 👤✅ L’auteur a été identifié. Nous exigeons donc que cette étudiante soit sanctionnée avec la plus grande fermeté. Et qu’on se le dise : ce n’est pas un cas isolé. D’autres noms suivront...⏳ ⚖️ @PhBaptiste @sup_recherche @Sorbonne_Univ_ @uejf @Association_OJE

The EJC, together with the Working Group Against Antisemitism (WGAS), the @EPPGroup and @BnaiBrith, organised the conference "Anti-Zionism: The Accepted Face of Antisemitism in Europe?" at the European Parliament in Brussels. Hosted by WGAS Chair MEP @alicemedce, the event shed light on the rise of anti-Zionism as a form of hate speech in Europe and explored how criticism of Israel has increasingly become a disguise for antisemitism, as well as its impact on those who have had the courage to speak out. During the conference, which was attended by Members of the European Parliament, EU officials, diplomatic representatives, civil society organisations, and members of the Jewish community, the speakers addressed the historical origins of anti-Zionism as a propaganda tool, examined how it operates and circulates across political, academic, and digital spaces, and explored the relationship between anti-Zionist rhetoric and contemporary manifestations of antisemitism. In her opening remarks, MEP Alice Teodorescu Måwe reflected on the normalisation of anti-Zionism in society, and how it has become increasingly accepted, contributing to Jews across Europe feeling unsafe in expressing their Jewish identity and their connection to Israel, in ways that stand at odds with democratic values, pluralism, and human dignity. Afterwards, EJC Executive VP @rayakalenova delivered a powerful address, strongly denouncing the denial of the Jewish people’s right to self-determination. She warned that antisemitism in its latest incarnation, anti-Zionist activism, does not offer a world in which Jews can live in peace, but rather one in which Jews have nowhere they are truly welcome. She stressed that denying the right to self-determination uniquely to the Jewish people, while recognising it for every other nation, constitutes discrimination, noting that the use of “Zionism” as a substitute for “Jew” enables the collective targeting of Jews while maintaining a veneer of legitimacy and that, in stark contrast to rhetoric often heard in public discourse, she emphasised that Zionism is, above all, an anti-colonial movement par excellence. Concluding the opening remarks, @AlinaBricman, Director of EU Affairs at B’nai B’rith International, noted that what makes anti-Zionism particularly challenging is that those who promote it often believe they are acting in pursuit of a noble cause and therefore do not perceive themselves as prejudiced. The conference continued with a panel discussion moderated by EJC Director of European Affairs @AriellaWoit, featuring renowned scholars and academics, including Dr @mboudry, Independent Scholar; Dr Christer Mattsson, Director of the Segerstedt Institute at the University of Gothenburg and Senior Lecturer in Pedagogy; and @IzaTabaro, Fellow at @TheWilsonCenter and the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism- @centre_as and Senior Fellow at the Z3 Institute. Ms Tabarovsky addressed how Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda helped shape many of the narratives and conceptual frameworks that continue to influence discourse today, connecting contemporary manifestations of anti-Zionism to their broader historical context. For his part, Dr Boudry presented an intervention titled “A Spiral of Silence: How Academia Enforces Anti-Zionist Orthodoxy”, reflecting on the intellectual climate surrounding debates on Israel and Zionism within academic and cultural institutions, as well as the pressures, silences, and forms of conformity that shape public discourse on these issues. Finally, Dr Mattsson, whose research focuses on antisemitism, radicalisation, and democratic education, presented findings from his recent study examining the measurable relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism, as well as the methodological challenges in identifying and quantifying Israel-related antisemitism in contemporary societies. In her closing remarks, MEP Alice Teodorescu Måwe thanked the speakers for their contributions and the audience for their engagement, underlining the importance of raising one’s voice to confront these challenges in everyday life. She stressed that responsibility does not rest solely with politicians but with society as a whole, noting that without civic courage nothing will change.

L’histoire nous apprend que lorsque l’antisémitisme fait rage, les défenseurs des Juifs se mesurent en qualité, jamais en quantité. Pourquoi en irait-il autrement aujourd’hui, alors que le monde occidental est frappé par une déferlante antisémite sans précédent depuis la Libération? L'histoire rendra justice à ceux qui, à l’image d'Émile Zola et des Justes parmi les Nations, ne sont pas juifs et comptent parmi les résistants contemporains auxquels j’ai rendu hommage dans @MarianneleMag (marianne.net/agora/tribunes-…).

We join the @jonathasbel in condemning the removal of Professor Joël Kotek from Belgium's delegation to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance. After decades of dedicated service in the fight against antisemitism and in the preservation of Holocaust memory, Professor Kotek was sidelined for doing precisely what @theIHRA exists to do: speaking plainly and honestly about antisemitism, including its alarming resurgence since October 7. We stand in full solidarity with Professor Kotek. If the Belgian government is truly devoted to fighting antisemitism, silencing a recognised professor for raising documented realities is not only contradictory, but also deeply damaging to the credibility of that commitment. Naming hatred is not the problem. Silencing those who do is.
