EJJP calls for solidarity and equal rights in Europe

While our main concern is for more justice in Middle East, EJJP is also pressing for more justice and equal rights in Europe. As Jews with our historical experience we know what it means to be persecuted and victims of discrimination and therefore...

- At a time when European governments are criminalizing and expelling women, men and children arriving in Europe looking for survival;
- At a time when European governments are taking measures that aggravate exclusion and racism towards their own citizens and residents according to their origin or faith,
We refuse to be put on the side of the oppressors. We choose to stand by those expelled from our countries and those living in our countries suffering from exclusion and discrimination.
We believe that with them we can build a welcoming Europe, ready to share its wealth, open to others, in full respect of their origins and beliefs, providing equal rights for all.
Working together in this way we will contribute to a better Europe.
