(JNS) – The European Court of Human Rights, which has jurisdiction over more than 46 countries and whose rulings are legally binding on all 27 member states of the European Union, is facing calls to re-examine cases involving Jews after its longest-serving justice was exposed as harboring extremist antisemitic views.

Boštjan Zupančič, who served as a judge on the court between 1998 and 2016, wrote on social media that the Jewish people are “the central enemies of Western civilization,” among other claims, the London-based Jewish Chronicle reported exclusively on Thursday.
The recent remarks, shared on both X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn, were first uncovered by the GnasherJew X account.
Zupančič, who has also been a vice president of the UN Committee Against Torture, argued on X that German Jews introduced “sexual perversions of all sorts, sadism, masochism, lots of homosexuality” before Adolf Hitler rose to power and that “millions of German fathers lost their income, fortune and savings because of these Jewish banks gangsters.”
He moreover posted a claim that the “Jewish war on white is behind the arson of the West, and unless Jewish power is named as the cancer, there is not [sic] hope for the white race.”
Cases involving Zupančič include Cha’are Shalom ve Tsedek v. France on the legality of kosher slaughter; PETA Deutschland v. Germany on comparisons between the Holocaust and the treatment of animals; M’Bala M’Bala v. France on antisemitic views and free speech; as well as several lawsuits about the restitution of Jewish property seized by Nazi Germany.
Jonathan Turner, chief executive of UK Lawyers for Israel, told the JC that his organization was looking into “whether any judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in which Boštjan Zupančič participated should be reconsidered.”
Meanwhile, the conservative European Centre of Law and Justice think tank, which has come out in support of Israel, removed Zupančič from their fellowship program following the JC’s exposé. “There should be no room for antisemitism, especially within human-rights institutions,” said director Gregor Puppinick, adding that Zupančič’s “reputation was high at the court.”
Zupančič was also temporarily locked out of his X account this week on the grounds that his posts breached the platform’s rules against hateful conduct.
The European Court of Human Rights, based in Strasbourg, considers alleged state violations of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Judgments are binding and state parties to the convention are obliged to execute them.
No need to look outside. We have enough enemies from within, like Yuval Harari and George Soros. Just do a little research and you’ll see for yourself.
Barbara Lerner Spectre has a whole organization devoted to destroying White Europe. Not to mention Soros.

From Yated Neeman:
Rav Pam then goes on to shed light on “the inexplicable hatred the nations of the world have for Jews and for Eretz Yisroel.” He sharply depicts the irrational support of the world at large for the so-called Palestinian cause, when “in the vast expanses of Saudi Arabia alone there is enough space” for them all. Rav Pam’s explanation for this phenomenon is, once again, that “Hashem is paving the way for the Final Redemption…so that Klal Yisroel’s exclusive debt of gratitude will only be to Him.”
Now, for the most important and relevant part of Rav Pam’s exposition, he turns to the disreputable and often futile organization known as the United Nations. I will quote, unusually for this column, the full statement by Rav Pam because of its importance and pertinence: “This idea explains the purpose of the United Nations…in Hashem’s grand scheme to bring the world to its ultimate fulfillment. The U.N. accomplishes very little and is virtually powerless to enforce its proposals and resolutions. What is its purpose? Perhaps the answer is, as the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 2b) says, that when the End of Days arrive, all the nations of the world will come before Hashem and demand reward for all the good they had done for the Jewish nation. Each will describe how it built projects to make life easier for Klal Yisroel. Hashem will ‘seal their mouths’ and show them how everything they did was for their own benefit…with the thought of helping the Jewish nation the farthest from their true intentions.”
Rav Pam now discovers a true role for the U.N. to play in the eschatology of Israel.
“While the Gemara makes no mention of the U.N., it is safe to say that it will play a major role in refuting the claims of the nations of the world that they did things to help Klal Yisroel. The purpose of the U.N. in Hashem’s plan is to serve as a permanent unimpeachable record of the hatred of the nations for Am Yisroel. Every speech is recorded. The tallies of every anti-Israel vote and resolution are documented. All the fiery condemnations by the Arab, Soviet and Third World blocs and the deafening response of the total silence by the others will serve as clear, indisputable evidence of the true feelings of the world toward Israel and the Jews. What other purpose can there be for this ‘do-nothing organization?’ Its cynical biased behavior should not shock or depress us. It is merely the final step in Hashem’s plan to bring the geulah, following the prototype of Yetzias Mitzrayim. This realization should be of great consolation to us in trying to understand the happenings of our troubled times.”
