Today there are \u201ctoo many signals of a rising anti-Semitism. We have to fight it, because our own safety is at stake\u201d, pleaded the Italian foreign minister, Angelino Alfano, during the International Conference on the Responsibility of States, Institutions and Individuals in the Fight against Anti-Semitism. <\/p>\n

The conference, held in Rome on January 29th, was promoted by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODHIR), the Foundation Jewish Contemporary Documentation Centre (CDEC) in Milan and the Union of Italian Jewish Communities (UCEI). <\/p>\n

When opening the conference, Mr. Alfano said that Italy\u2019s OSCE chairmanship in 2018 \u201cwill promote the fight against the discrimination of Jews, Christians, Muslims and other religious communities\u201d. With regard to the rising anti-Semitism in Europe, Mr. Alfano explained that \u201cwe have to worry when anti-Semitism grows with no reaction. Silence always helps the attacker, not the victim\u201d. He added: \u201cWe cannot allow awful claims of racial superiority any longer\u201d. Mr. Alfano also mentioned Tikkun Olam, the Jewish concept meaning \u201crepair of the world\u201d. \u201cWe are not deceiving ourselves into thinking that we can change the world as a whole, but we suggest that every OSCE country begins the operations needed to fight anti-Semitism\u201d, among others, the implementation of the definition of anti-Semitism by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA, which will be chaired by an Italian from next March). Mr. Alfano continued: \u201cAt the suggestion of UCEI\u2019s president Noemi Di Segni, I also talked to our Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni about creating a national monitoring centre on anti-Semitism\u201d.<\/p>\n

The alarming resurgence of anti-Semitism was also discussed by the president of the World Jewish Congress, Ronald Lauder. \u201cGermany has laws against anti-Jewish hatred and speech. Every other country should implement such laws as well. Anti-Semitism must have its consequences\u201d, said Mr. Lauder, who spoke after OSCE secretary general Thomas Greminger and ODHIR director Ingibj\u00f6rg S\u00f3lr\u00fan G\u00edslad\u00f3ttir. <\/p>\n

UCEI president Noemi Di Segni stated: \u201cTogether we must enhance a path to go from the denial of rights (during the thousand-year-old presence of Jews in the Italian diaspora, but most of all during this year’s eightieth anniversary of 1938 racial laws) to the protection of rights. Those are mostly natural rights, to be protected both in our real spaces, whether national or international, and in our virtual ones. Mrs. Di Segni added that, if the issue of anti-Semitism has no borders, \u201cwhat are national and supranational institutions, which have to follow \u201ctraditional\u201d rules of lawmaking limited by their jurisdiction and mandate, supposed to do? How can we involve and make those who design the Net feel responsible, instead of fishing out those who surf it?\u201d. \u201cHatred is not the Jews\u2019 problem, it is the problem of the peoples surrounding our lives and borders, those who reject diversity\u201d, Mrs. Di Segni explained. \u201cAnd the most humane of solutions, the one that the Jewish people has always wanted and that we want to propose again, is that of peace and cooperation, through laws, common values and prayers, and through the many unknown heroes that work every day to foster dialogue and rescue those in need – thinking about the youth, about our children\u201d.<\/p>\n

The time for words is over, warned the chairman of the Jewish Congress, Moshe Kantor. \u201cIt is time for real action\u201d, also against the hatred for Israel and against the people trying to delegitimise it. The issue of masking anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism was raised by several other speakers as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought that after the Shoah, anti-Semitims was over\u201d, stated rabbi Israel Meir Lau, president of Yad Vashem. The rabbi started by quoting the words Pope Francis\u2019 spoke during his visit to Yad Vashem: \u201cThe Pope mentioned the question Ayeka? Where were you?\u201d A question we have to keep asking ourselves, explained the rabbi, who survived the Shoah for eight years. Where were the United States and the European citizens while the atrocious Shoah was happening?
\nMr. Alfano thanked councilor Alessandro Ruben, among others, for his ideas and for helping with the event.
