The Simon Wiesenthal Centre sent a letter to Mayor London, Sadiq Khan, expressing its rejection of actions by members of Amnesty International, who placed a street sign outside the Israeli Embassy in the British capital, under the name “Apartheid Avenue W8 - Do not know allow Palestinians”.
The letter was sent by the director of the Centre, Shimon Samuels, who assured that the initiative carried out by Kristyan Benedict, director of Amnesty International's UK Crisis and Campaigns Division, aimed to foster hatred of Israel and, therefore, endanger British Jews.
“This is proof that Amnesty is immersed in a deep abyss full of anti-Semitism,” the letter states.
“We are writing to you, Mr. Intendente, to offer you a possible antidote, which has proved useful from Paris to Buenos Aires: a street named after our mentor, Simon Wiesenthal, in an appropriate place in London, where you could take schoolchildren and tell them their story,” continues Samuels' text.
“Mr. Mayor, we look forward to working with you on establishing a place for Simon Wiesenthal in London, where schoolchildren can be brought to know his story,” concluded the director of the center.
Wiesenthal, known for having been a “Nazi hunter”, was also a fighter for Human Rights.
Austria, where he lived after World War II, led him to join his delegation on the 50th Anniversary of the United Nations, as well as that of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written by the French Jewish jurist René Cassin.
On that occasion, Wiesenthal focused on the genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda.
