U.S. Anti-Semitism Envoy Calls Europe's Kosher Meat Bans "Forced Expulsion" for Jews
(JTA) Cnaan Liphshiz - Elan Carr, the U.S. envoy against anti-Semitism, on Monday in Antwerp called legislation in some European countries limiting the ritual slaughter of animals and circumcision of boys a "disgraceful forced expulsion" of Jews. Ritual slaughter was banned in January in the Flemish Region, the Belgian state whose largest city is Antwerp. Belgium's Walloon region is set to implement a similar ban this year. Muslim communities have similar requirements for making halal meat.
