One of the most significant findings of the period was the marked decline in recorded incidents beginning in October, following the ceasefire and the return of those kidnapped on October 7 to their homes.DAIA said the decline observed in the months following the ceasefire reflects "the firm and unconditional commitment of the National Government in the fight against antisemitism and in defense of democratic values" as well as the work of DAIA and numerous institutions in combating misinformation and prejudice."The numbers warn us about persistent challenges and emerging threats," said Mauro Berenstein, President of DAIA. "But they also show that when strong institutions, democratic leadership, community commitment, and a society that values coexistence exist, it is possible to contain the spread of hatred.""The fight against antisemitism is not only about denouncing it. It is also about creating the conditions for a community to fully live its identity, develop its institutions, transmit its values, and freely contribute to building a more diverse, democratic, and pluralistic society."Bernstein added that Argentina remains one of the few countries in the diaspora where a Jewish family can be born, educated, pray, celebrate, debate, build community, and fully express its identity."Because a full Jewish life is not an accident. It is the result of strong institutions, a committed community, a society that values coexistence, and the collective decision to confront hatred with education, truth, and respect."'The fight against antisemitism'Víctor Garelik, Executive Director of DAIA, noted the significance of the fact that Argentina country is hosting plenary sessions of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance this year, "giving exceptional importance at the state level to the fight against antisemitism and remembrance of the Shoah."He also praised the AMIA, Museo del Holocausto de Buenos Aires, and the Latin American Jewish Congress, for collaborating with DAIA to create a guide to combat online antisemitism.Garelik also noted that 10,600 teachers enrolled in educational content designed by DAIA, through which they will receive certification points, under an agreement signed between the organization and the Ministry of Education of the Nation."We are immersed in a world where hate speech spreads rapidly, distorting realities and legitimizing discrimination," he said. "DAIA remains attentive to this reality by providing clear information and reporting acts that threaten the security of the local Jewish community, its members, and its institutions."Follow us on Google
