Blair to fight against anti-Semitism in Europe

The organization campaigns for European nations to make Holocaust denial a criminal offense, produce clear definitions of racism and anti-Semitism, and to have governments pay for security at Jewish schools and synagogues.

 

Blair and Russian-born Jewish businessman Moshe Kantor announced the appointment with a joint article in British newspaper The Times, in which they warned of reports of rising anti-Semitism.

 

“Anti-Semitism is not a Jewish problem, but one infecting the whole of society and needs to be tackled for the sake of us all,” Blair and Kantor wrote.

 

“States, international organisations and other actors must join together to tackle hate and intolerance. If we wait for our armies to act, it will be too late.”
