Echos of Conflict - Antisemitism in Europe Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict
In this webinar, we discuss the concerning rise of antisemitism in Europe amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. We were honored to feature perspectives from H.E. Daniel Meron, Deputy Director General for Europe at the Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Dr. Aleksandra Gliszcyńska-Grabias, Assistant professor at the Institute of Law Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, and member of the Board of Governors of the International Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists..
As we highlighted in the discussion, the current crisis extends far beyond the Middle East, spurring a disturbing surge of antisemitism across Europe. We examined legal frameworks used to address this, as well as shifting dynamics between Israel and European nations.
The Laws of War in the Israel-Hamas Hostilities
The recent escalation of violence between Hamas and Israel, triggered by the October 7 incursion into Israel by Hamas militants, has sparked extensive legal discussions. The Israel-Hamas conflict is now a central topic in conversations about International Humanitarian Law (IHL), with diverse interpretations by legal experts regarding its application to key principles such as proportionality, distinction, and military necessity. In this podcast, we discussed the complexities of the Israel-Hamas conflict within the context of IHL.
Featuring Dr. Daphne Richemond-Barak and Dr. Ido Rosenzweig. It was moderated by Carolina Grimberg Golijov. We encourage you to watch the full webinar recording using the button below to hear these important perspectives on the ongoing crisis.
Israel at War Brief - November 9
Before we even finished burying our dead, mobs gathered in world capitals to celebrate our suffering and to lob accusations at the State of Israel for having the audacity to respond and prevent this from ever happening again. Anti-semitism is now surging worldwide, with attacks on Jewish synagogues, businesses, and people now commonplace. World leaders have gathered in Geneva and New York to condemn the only Jewish state, and they are tripping over themselves to shovel more money into the hands of Hamas. We have watched in horror as the worst pogrom since the Holocaust has turned into a fundraising bonanza for the intifada. We have the Islamic State in our backyard and Iran’s proxies firing from above. Truly, we are surrounded by our enemies.
And yet … the people of Israel are united in our resolve to fully and finally defeat Hamas. The military called up 360,000 civilian reservists, and 450,000 showed up within days. Many of our soldiers charged into battle wearing worn-out gym shoes, and they have remained steadfast on the front lines, despite constant rocket fire, and ambushes from underground tunnels. Over 250,000 Israeli civilians have been forced to evacuate their homes near our southern and northern borders, and they have been warmly welcomed by the hotels that are now empty of the usual tourists.
UN In The Spotlight
In this important webinar, we closely examine how the UN bodies have responded, or potentially failed to address, the attack perpetrated by Hamas on the 7th of October and the subsequent events in the Israel-Hamas conflict. To provide profound insights and expert perspectives, we are privileged to have two eminent speakers with us: Professor Yuval Shany, former Chair of the Human Rights Committee, and Ambassador Meirav Eilon Shahar, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations and International Organizations in Geneva.
