Israeli president addresses German parliament, calls for all-out war on racism
(archive.ph)https://archive.ph/QkfNRIsraeli President Isaac Herzog Tuesday called on German lawmakers to take a stronger stance against hate speech, racism and anti-Semitism.
“We have to fight anti-Semitism and racism wherever we counter it, decisively, and without any compromise,” he said in a speech at the German parliament.
Herzog addressed lawmakers at a special parliamentary session as part of his three-day official visit to the country.
Expressing concern over a worrying increase in the number of racist and anti-Semitic incidents, he said hate speech should not be ignored but countered everywhere, on the internet, social media, in the streets or political platforms.
Herzog also underlined that it is a moral obligation and responsibility to continue learning and teaching about the Holocaust.
Jews are a meme.
