Government officials meet in Prague to advance fight against antisemitism

At meeting with antisemitism envoys, WJC calls for increased online moderation, flagging of ‘code words’ for Jews

02 Nov 2022

PRAGUE – Meeting in Prague with representatives of more than twenty-five governments and international organizations at this week’s World Jewish Congress’ Forum for Special Envoys & Coordinators Combating Antisemitism (SECCA), held in cooperation with the Czech Republic’s EU Presidency and the European Commission , the WJC outlined an aggressive agenda to increase efforts to rein in hate speech on social media platforms and develop resources to foster Jewish life in their respective countries.

“Continued cooperation between governments, international organizations and Jewish communities has allowed us to make progress and better understand how and where we can be impactful in the fight against antisemitism,” said Katharina von Schnurbein, European Commission Coordinator on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life and meeting co-chair. “However, it is troubling that the hatred that we see online doesn’t remain there. We must direct our attention and resources to limiting its spread and the often-tragic consequences that follow.”
