B’Nai B’rith Uruguay Condemns AMIA Attack Anniversary, Demands Justice and Truth
On the eve of the 30th anniversary of the AMIA attack in Buenos Aires, Uruguay’s Jewish organization, B’Nai B’rith, issued a statement condemning terrorism and demanding truth and justice.
Unwavering Condemnation of Terrorism
The organization reiterated its "unequivocal condemnation of terrorism and its firm demand for truth and justice." This stance is in line with the institution’s commitment to combating terrorism and protecting human rights.
AMIA Attack: A Global Concern
For B’Nai B’rith, the AMIA attack is a stark reminder that anti-Semitism is a global issue that affects not only Jewish communities but society as a whole. The attack on July 18, 1994, resulted in the deaths of many innocent people, including "fathers, mothers, and children," and left a lasting impact on the community.
Unacceptable Impunity
The organization rejected the impunity enjoyed by the perpetrators of the massacre and expressed disappointment over the lack of justice. B’Nai B’rith Uruguay emphasized its commitment to fighting terrorism and protecting human rights.
Government Action Needed
The institution welcomed the Argentine government’s decision to declare Hamas a terrorist organization and urged the Uruguayan government to follow suit. This move is seen as a crucial step in combating terrorism and promoting peace.
Firm Commitment to Human Rights and Justice
B’Nai B’rith Uruguay reaffirmed its commitment to defending human rights, fighting anti-Semitism, and searching for justice. The organization will continue to work towards a world free from terrorism and discrimination.
