European Jewish Congress Calls on European Leaders to Condition Aid to the Palestinians on Ending Incitement
(European Jewish Congress) In the wake of the terror attack against worshipers in a synagogue in Jerusalem on Tuesday, the European Jewish Congress has called on European leaders to condition future aid and cooperation between the European Union and the Palestinians on the end of rampant incitement against Israel and Jews in the Palestinian Authority. Dr. Moshe Kantor, EJC President, said, "The Europeans have an ability to influence and a tool with which to pressure the Palestinians to end the daily incitement emanating from its leaders, education system, media and religious institutions, and that is the financial assistance which is helping aid this system." "Incitement to hatred and violence, anti-Semitism, and religious hatred is by far the greatest obstacle to any lasting peace. The Europeans should demand that this ends immediately and threaten to withdraw all aid and cooperation until it does, before we see more massacres like the one this morning in Jerusalem."
