NJA’s Julius addresses Knesset

The National Jewish Assembly vice chairman Laurence Julius addressed the Knesset on antisemitism in the diaspora last month.

In his statement, Julius emphasised the urgent need to combat antisemitism in the digital realm and highlighted the role played by the NJA in this ongoing battle.

During his address, Julius stated, “Antisemitism on social media knows no borders. The UK Counter Radicalisation Program confirmed that the two biggest sources of extremism were online radicalisation and mental health issues.” accountability in aid distribution. We remain committed to promoting dialogue that seeks to strengthen security ties and advance the cause of peace in the region.”

Julius praised the work of Fighting Online Antisemitism who NJA has promoted in the UK.

As a core pillar of the NJA’s work, the organisation strives to support UK-Israel relations and will continue to support efforts that lead to a safer and more secure future for both Israel, the UK, and British Jewish community. The organisation looks forward to witnessing positive outcomes that emerge from this important dialogue.

“Social media moderators in Israel understand what antisemitism, while in the UK they either don’t understand it or don’t want to understand it,” said a spokesman. “For social media companies if they don’t follow up on reports in Israel, they are in the media spotlight. FOA has achieved much more success in taking down antisemitic hate.”

The meeting, convened by the Aliyah, Absorption, and Diaspora Committee, was chaired by MK Oded Forrer. The Ministry of Diaspora revealed a 48% increase in violent antisemitic events worldwide with the first quarter of 2023 witnessing a 22% increase in all antisemitic incidents compared to the same period last year.

The NJA recognises the importance of addressing and combating antisemitism in all its forms, including the rise of online extremism and hateful rhetoric. Julius’s contribution highlighted the determination of the organisation in safeguarding Jewish community interests and promoting a world free from hatred and discrimination.

The NJA is committed to advocating for the Jewish community, it stands united in its support for measures to combat antisemitism and create a safer environment. The organisation commends Julius for his powerful address and looks forward to continued collaboration in the fight against antisemitism.
