CCJ condemns the rising antisemitism in Malmo, Sweden

Revd David Gifford, Chief Executive of the Council of Christians and Jews has condemned the recent attack on the Jewish community in Malmo, Sweden. 

“These are worrying times for the Jewish communities across Europe,”  said Mr Gifford.  “The attack appears to have been linked to rising anti Israel feeling and the tensions caused by the Israel/Palestine conflict in the City.

Mr Gifford added, “The rising trend of impatience and anger with events in Palestine/Israel is being directed at local Jewish communities all over Europe.  European Jewish communities are responsible members of civil society and contribute to national well being.  It is totally unacceptable to target these Jewish communities. But this explosion heard several blocks away and damaging the bullet proof door of the synagogue is only part of a longer period of violence towards the community.”

“CCJ in the UK has contacted the CCJ in Sweden and ICCJ and would encourage the Christian community to stand alongside their Jewish friends in Malmo at this tense time.”
