Jan 26 - ERG Calls For Tolerance And Understanding On Holocaust Day
In a statement to media, Equality Rights Group Chairman, Felix Alvarez, has called for ‘increased tolerance and understanding amongst us’.
‘This year especially, Holocaust Memorial Day, commemorated tomorrow, is of special significance to our community, and everywhere. It is a poignant and important annual pause for reflection on man’s continuing inhumanity to man throughout time and across the globe. There is no excuse for inhumanity, whatever the differences. Understanding and acceptance between people of faith or none, racial, ethnic or any other communities is the way forward to peace and a rich democracy’.
‘We therefore condemn all violence and acts of hatred wherever they may arise. The best defence can only be dialogue and negotiation. Furthermore, international terrorism can only be addressed by international justice,’ the statement ended.
