My message to the Seventh national Congress "Dismantling Islamophobia".

In Europe and around the world, events can occur that trigger violent anti-Muslim and racist responses, demonstrating that online violence can
amplify violence in the streets.

Mi mensaje en el marco del VII Congreso nacional “Desmontando la Islamofobia”.

En Europa y en el mundo, pueden acontecer eventos que desencadenan respuestas violentas anti musulmanas y racistas, mostrando que la
violencia en línea puede amplificar la violencia en las calles.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the UK’s Jewish community after the violent attack on a synagogue in Manchester.

While in Copenhagen, I conveyed my condolences to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Simultaneous acts of provocation & incitement to hatred occurred at the entrance of mosques in & around Paris. These incidents should not be seen in isolation after a number of anti-Muslim murders, desecration of mosques, intimidation of civil society fighting anti-Muslim hatred.

Une salle de prière à nouveau visée par une tentative d'incendie en France. Les 3 premiers mois de 2025 avaient enregistré une augmentation des actes antimusulmans de 72 % par rapport à l'année précédente, avec 79 cas recensés, selon le Ministère de l'intérérieur.

Only on 12 July, 33 000 hate messages were posted on social media in Spain according to #OBERAXE. This 1500% increase represents an online peak of rumors, hoaxes and hate speech mostly against people of North Africa, that led to the riots in #TorrePacheco

Civilians in Gaza have suffered too much, for too long. It must stop now.

Israel must deliver on its pledges.

Civilians cannot be targets. Never.

The images from Gaza are unbearable.

The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid.

And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law.

Kaja Kallas @kajakallas.bsky.social · Jul 22

The killing of civilians seeking aid in Gaza is indefensible.

I spoke again with Gideon Sa'ar to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that IDF must stop killing people at distribution points.

All options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges.

The silence around the likely racially-motivated murder of Rahma Ayad on 4 July is deafening. Rahma, a 26-year old Algerian nursing trainee in Germany was brutally killed by her neighbour after harassment possibly related to her hijab. We should be calling for adequate investigation and justice

Another blaze being investigated as a possible anti-Muslim hate crime. This time, a newly-build mosque that was about to open. Catalonia is unfortunately not immune to anti-Muslim hatred.

Today, we commemorated the 1995 Srebrenica genocide and honoured the victims, at the invitation of several Embassies. We mark the 30th anniversary of a genocide that occurred on European soil, targetting people on ethnic and religious grounds. Remembrance and Justice are key for a lasting peace.

Botschafter Martin Kotthaus @dbobruessel.bsky.social · Jul 10

30 years since the genocide in Srebrenica with more than 8000 Bosnian - mostly men – slaughtered. A wound that remains deep in Bosnia and Herzegovina & across Europe. Today, we honor the victims & mourn with their families.
Remembrance is a commitment to truth & peace.

An increase of 75% of Anti-Muslim acts in France between January & May 2025 compared to the previous year. This worrying figure may not fully grasp the scale of the phenomenon. Acts affecting Muslim individuals rose by 209% over the same period.

Les actes antimusulmans ont augmenté de 75% en France, selon les chiffres publiés par le ministère de l'Intérieur

Le niveau d'antisémitisme reste à "un niveau très élevé" et les actes antichrétiens sont en progression, précise également l'équipe de Bruno Retailleau.

Diplomacy remains the only way to bring peace and security to the Middle East region. Too many civilians will once again be the victims of a further escalation.

The EU will continue engaging with the parties and our partners to find a peaceful solution at the negotiating table.

2/2 No anti-Muslim content was removed by the platforms at all! Much more needs to be done at a time were we witnessed two racist murders in France within a little bit more than a month, by perpetrators who had been using social media to radicalize themselves and advertise their crimes

1/2 I took part in the #UnitedAgainstHate campaign, notifying antisemitic & anti-Muslim content to 3 platforms (X, Youtube & instagram). The results are horrifying! Out of 161 antisemitic & anti-Muslim items reported, only 3 items were removed (2 on YouTube & 1 on instagram) unitedagainsthate.online

Die Zahl der Muslim*innen, die attackiert werden, steigt. Das zeigt der Jahresbericht vom Bündnis CLAIM. Wir brauchen eine politische Strategie gegen antimuslimischen Rassismus. Betroffene müssen sich besser gegen Diskriminierung wehren können. Dafür brauchen wir endlich eine Reform des AGG.

Best wishes for Eid-el-Adha to all those who celebrate this occasion. As we recently witnessed hate crimes and vandalism of mosques and other places of worship, may our society remain safe for all.
