‘Outstanding work combating antisemitism’
“Proud of Shay Salamon, who leads all of our Hispanic and Latin American initiatives at [Combat Antisemitism Movement], and was recently recognized by the General Assembly of Bolivia for his outstanding work combating antisemitism and defending Israel,” CAM CEO Sacha Roytman wrote on X/Twitter.
“A special thanks to [Pilar Rahola], Chair of our Latin America Board, for her continued support.”
Earlier this month, Salamon addressed an audience of over 1,200 people at the “Ibarra Blesses Israel” event in northern Ecuador, where he noted that antisemitism is a problem that affects everyone and urged the Western world to fulfill its obligation to defend freedom of worship.
