Das Globale Forum zur Bekämpfung von Antisemitismus (GFCA) ist das erste alle zwei Jahre stattfindende Treffen, um weltweit den Status des Antisemitismus zu beurteilen und um wirksame Formen der gesellschaftlichen und staatlichen Reaktion auszuformulieren. Die GFCA ist eine aktive Koalition von Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens, Politikern, Leitern der Zivilgesellschaft, Geistlichen, Journalisten, Diplomaten, Pädagogen und besorgten Bürgern, die sich für die Verbreitung eines toleranten Miteinanders im Alltag engagieren und der Vereitlung des Antisemitismus und anderen Formen des rassistisch oder ethnisch bedingten Hasses widmen.

Hier finden Sie das endgültige Programm.

The Global Forum this year will focus on two main themes:
   
•    The Oldest Hatred in the Newest Vessels: Confronting Antisemitism and Hate Speech on the Internet and in Social Media

The information highway has proven an unprecedented tool for accessibility to knowledge, and the advance of free expression and global interconnectedness; but it also presents unique challenges to human dignity - in the form of unfiltered cyberhate, both antisemitic and other forms of severe hate speech, delivered ubiquitously to every multimedia device. How can we increase the decency of the web without harming its essential freedom?

•    The Rise of Antisemtism in Europe's Cities Today: Means of Response

The summer of 2014 saw an eruption of mass anti-Jewish protests and attacks in major European capitals not seen in decades. Many Jews today feel limited in their freedom to identify openly as Jews in their manner of dress or political expression. In parts of Europe, Jewish religious practice is under legislative attack, and the return of Jihadi fighters with EU citizenship marks a security crisis, for Jewish communities first and foremost.  Why is this happening today in Europe? Is there a structural threat to Jewish life? What steps can be taken by European leadership to defeat the new wave of Antisemitism in Europe?

The concluding day is devoted to the work of the twelve working groups, and preparing and updating the Action Plan for Combatting Antisemitism 2015 and Beyond. The working groups are organized around the following topics and can be joined by any of the Forum
participants:

• Antisemisim in the Muslim and Arab World
• Antisemitism in Latin America
• Antisemitism in the Former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe Region
• Antisemitism in the EU and Western Europe Region
• Antisemitism in the Guise of Delegitimization and Anti-Zionism
• Antisemitism on the Internet and Media
• Law, Legislation and Enforcement in Combatting Antisemitism
• Interfaith Dialogue as a Means for Mitigating Antisemitism
• Protecting Jewish Religious Practice
• Antisemitism on Campus and Education for Tolerance and Mutual Respect
• The Role of International Organizations in Combating Antisemitism
• Combatting Holocaust Denial and Distortion

The 5th Global Forum will take place in the International Convention Center in Jerusalem, and will open at 6pm on May 12th with addresses by world leaders. For further information, please contact: global.forum@mfa.gov.il
