JLU positions itself against anti-Semitism and racism (October 20, 2023)
Horror at JLU after horrific Hamas attack on Israel
At its meeting on October 18, 2023, the Senate of Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) reacted to the horrific attack by Hamas on Israel with a minute's silence. The bloody consequences for the civilian population also caused horror at JLU.
In view of the events in the Middle East, the JLU Presidential Board emphasized that the JLU, as a cosmopolitan university, is no place for anti-Semitism and racism. "Terror and violence against Israel cannot be justified by anything," First Vice President Prof. Dr. Katharina Lorenz made clear, adding: "Our thoughts are with the numerous victims of war and - not least as a member of the Europe-wide university network EUPeace - we stand for the peaceful coexistence of all people."
