This is an egregious attack on religious freedom for Jews and Muslims in Europe: The European Union's Court of Justice just ruled—against their own advocate general's advice—in favor of bans on kosher and halal slaughter. Shameful and dangerous. https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-states-can-ban-kosher-and-halal-ritual-slaughter-court-rules/

Congress just voted to upgrade America's global anti-Semitism envoy to an ambassador. You can bet that whoever Biden appoints to it will come down hard on this. It's sad that the EU needs to be pressured into protecting the rights of religious minorities, but that's where we are. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1339638012448301056

On Hanukkah, Jews celebrate their victory over an empire that tried to repress their right to practice their faith. Nice of the European Union's highest court to confirm the holiday's continued relevance, I guess. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1339638012448301056

This court ruling does not institute a ban, it rather backs those bans that already exist, and sets a precedent for more of them. It's up to people and countries who care about anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim bigotry to speak out and deter other regions of Europe from following suit. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1339638012448301056

If you want to understand how "animal rights" is used as cover by Europe's Christian majority to persecute Muslim and Jewish minorities, consider this: Denmark banned kosher and halal slaughter in 2014 as "cruel to animals" while continuing to be the world's leading fur exporter. https://twitter.com/Yair_Rosenberg/status/1339638012448301056
