The Pirate Party of Greece (PPGR), true to the Pirate Ideology’s principles, recognizes the need to clearly and unequivocally fight and condemn antisemitism. Antisemitism has been the basis for many centuries of brutal discrimination and murderous persecution against the Jews, which peaked with the Holocaust.
In our Statutes,[1] we explicitly and unequivocally declare our dedication to the protection of human rights for all, without exceptions and/or conditions – regardless of race, religion, origin, gender identity-expression etc., exactly as dictated by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the UN General Assembly and by the European Convention on Human rights. Our stance is reaffirmed in our other fundamental texts: our Founding Declaration,[2] our Prinicples,[3] and the Rethymno Declaration.[4]
We incorporate our fight against antisemitism in our general fight against racism. If humankind must learn one thing from the Holocaust and all other genocides is that “Never Again” must mean “Never Again for Anyone”. To us, human rights are universal, inalienable, and cannot be subject to negotiations. Thus, we are not going to treat the fight against antisemitism as incompatible with, or as competitive to the fight for the rights of the Palestinian people – or any other people.
