During the demonstration held on Saturday afternoon in the Place de la République in Paris, shouts of " Sales Juifs " (dirty Jews) were uttered, recorded and broadcasted on social networks.
On Thursday, June 11, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) condemned France in a case of calls to boycott Israeli products. In this case, activists were convicted for inciting economic discrimination against people because of their nationality. This ECHR decision contradicts the case law of the Court of Cassation. Crif regrets this decision.
The Paris Court of Appeal announced that the murderer of Sarah Halimi has not been held criminally responsible. Crif expresses its dismay and indignation.
For Francis Kalifat, President of Crif, "the inadmissible remarks of a drifting Mélenchon eager for media visibility are inspired by a vichyst rhetoric of the Jewish conspiracy. Would Doriot be the new mentor of Mélenchon?"
Tuesday, December 3, the motion for a resolution to fight against antisemitism by redefining antisemitism as defined by the IHRA (International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance), was adopted by the National Assembly. Crif welcomes this decision.
Crif praises the historic decision of US President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel, and the upcoming transfer of the US Embassy.
“The surge of far-right and anti-Semitic parties in a number of countries is a shock and a reason for great worry. European leaders must address this problem urgently and come up with a strategy to fight extremism. The future of European Jewry is a stake if these forces are not reined in.
French President François Hollande will meet world leaders at next summer’s 70th anniversary commemorations of the D-Day landings, including US President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Putin.
