The pogrom perpetrated by anti-Semitic hordes against Jews on the night of November 7 during the Ajax Amsterdam – Maccabi Tel Aviv match was an earthquake. “We failed the Jewish community during the Second World War, and last night we failed again”: these words addressed by Willem-Alexander, King of the Netherlands, to the President of the State of Israel on Friday last, should make us all think and react accordingly to the rise of anti-Semitism.
Unfortunately, the France – Israel Nations League match which will take place at the Stade de France on Thursday November 14, 2024 is becoming an issue and above all a symbol that goes beyond the world of sport!
Should we remember it? Since October 7, 2023, the explosion of attacks and anti-Semitic remarks have threatened Jewish communities but also the foundations of our democratic countries and harmony between East and West. Because on October 7, Hamas, and its accomplices in the Middle East and Europe, declared war not only on Israel, not only on all Jews in the world, but also on the modernity and freedom to which they are entitled. all peoples.
They want to make football matches, universities, political forums the receptacle of their hatred of Israel, Jews and freedom, under the cover of the slogan “Free Palestine”? They want to destroy Israel and impose their medieval theocracy on us?
We answer them: NO PASARAN!
In France, where the largest Jewish and Muslim communities in Europe live, the France – Israel match must be the symbol of the rejection of anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism and Islamism.
This is why we call on all European leaders, but also all French, European and Israeli bodies and citizens, Jews, Muslims and of all faiths and spiritualities, to attend this match together on November 14.
