Berlin CDU Proposes October 7 as 'Day Against Antisemitism'

The initiative aims to honor victims of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and combat antisemitism through education and collaboration with Jewish institutions.

• The CDU parliamentary group in Berlin has formally proposed October 7 as an official 'Day Against Antisemitism.'
• The date marks the anniversary of the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, which killed over 1,000 people and saw 250 taken hostage.
• The proposal emphasizes educational initiatives and dialogue to foster understanding of different religions and strengthen societal cohesion.
• The CDU is calling for collaboration with Jewish institutions in Berlin to develop programs and events for the day.
• This follows a similar proposal by the CDU and SPD to recognize March 15 as a day against Islamophobia, aligning with the UN's International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
