Response to Anti-racism Strategy

19 Jun 2025

EUJS, as the representative voice of Jewish student unions across Europe, we welcome the European Commissions ongoing work on its Anti-Racism Strategy. We would like to offer the following brief contribution: The working definition of antisemitism adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) remains the key reference point for understanding and addressing antisemitism in all its forms. We encourage the Commission to reaffirm this definition as the basis of its policy approach. The European Commissions current strategy to combat antisemitism reflects the needs and expectations of the vast majority of Jewish communities across the continent. We especially appreciate the recognition that antisemitism today often manifests through Israel-related tropes and demonization, which remain the most prevalent and insidious forms of antisemitic hatred our students face, both online and on campus. Finally, we urge the Commission to integrate a more intersectional approach to racism within its strategy. Jews of Color and Jews with Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) backgrounds are frequently exposed to multiple layers of discriminationincluding antisemitism and anti-MENA racismand their voices must be explicitly included in the development and implementation of anti-racist policies. We remain available to contribute further to this essential work.
