Dr. Michael Mirilashvili, President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC), took part in The Jerusalem Post’s annual conference on June 3 at Gotham Hall in New York. This prestigious event brought together leading diplomats, politicians, opinion leaders, technology innovators, and heads of Jewish communities from around the world to discuss the implications of the October 7, 2023, tragedy and Israel’s ongoing conflict with pro-Iranian forces in the region.
In his recorded address, Dr. Mirilashvili called on global leaders to establish clear boundaries against unacceptable incitement to hatred and calls for violence against Jews and Israel. He emphasized the need for proactive measures by Jewish leaders worldwide to address these challenges. Notably, he advocated for a reevaluation of the funding and structuring of higher education programs on the Middle East in the world’s leading universities.
Dr. Mirilashvili also urged caution in defining anti-Semitism, warning that its meaning could not be diluted during this sensitive period for Israel. He appealed to Israeli leaders to recognize the complexity of the current situation and to avoid political infighting when making crucial decisions that affect the entire Jewish nation.
His address was also published as an article in The Jerusalem Post, further amplifying his important message.
