Jewish Organizations Around the Globe Condemn German Parliamentary Resolution on Antisemitism

11 November 2024

As Jewish organizations in 19 countries on 6 continents, representing a multitude of members from diverse Jewish backgrounds and traditions, we declare our outrage and condemnation towards the resolution passed in the German Bundestag on November 7th under the title “Never Again Is Now: Protecting, Preserving and Strengthening Jewish Life”. The content of the resolution makes a mockery of its own title.

Yasser Arafat, also known as "Abu Ammar," was born on August 24, 1929, in Cairo. He was one of the most prominent Palestinian leaders and a central figure in the Palestinian struggle throughout the 20th century. Arafat became the head of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1969 and the first president of the Palestinian Authority after the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993. He was seen as a symbol of Palestinian resistance and played a key role in the political and armed struggle against Israeli occupation.

Arafat was pivotal in the peace process and negotiations over the years, despite facing many challenges and opposition from some parties. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994, shared with Israeli leaders Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres, in recognition of their efforts to reach the Oslo Accords.

Arafat passed away on November 11, 2004, under mysterious circumstances that led to suspicions of poisoning. His death left a significant void in Palestinian leadership. His legacy remains deeply embedded in the hearts and minds of Palestinians, Arabs, and many others around the world as a symbol of resilience and commitment to the Palestinian cause.

On the anniversary of his passing, his memory is honored, and his legacy continues to inspire Palestinians and others who seek peace, justice, and the fulfillment of Palestinian aspirations.
