European Parliament Member Jorge Buxade has highlighted the interconnected origins of terrorism, anti-Israel hatred, and anti-Christian hostility. Speaking ahead of the International Conference on Combating Antisemitism, set to take place in Jerusalem on January 26 and 27, Buxade emphasized that these forms of hatred often stem from shared sources and actors.
The conference, organized by Minister Amichai Chikli, aims to address rising antisemitism and related intolerances globally. Buxade’s comments suggest that efforts to combat antisemitism cannot be isolated from broader issues of religious intolerance and violence, as these problems frequently overlap.
Participants at the event include international policymakers, security experts, and representatives from various communities affected by religious hatred and extremist violence. The conference intends to foster dialogue, share strategies, and reinforce commitments to combating all forms of hatred rooted in ideological extremism.
This upcoming gathering underscores the ongoing global concern over rising hate crimes and the importance of coordinated international responses to address the roots and manifestations of religious and ethnic hostility.
