Following on the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s declaration that Israel should be "wiped off the map" and his unending statements denying the Holocaust, the European Jewish Congress is organizing a petition calling for the Iranian President to be made “Persona non grata ad personam,” within European territory.

The European Jewish Congress and its affiliated Jewish communities throughout Europe will be circulating this petition, which will eventually be submitted to the European Parliament and other EU institutions, as well as to member state governments.

Additionally, the EJC will be filing a complaint at the International Criminal Court in The Hague against the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for incitement to genocide.
