The question is whether the World Jewish Congress (WJC) is a religious or political organization or both ?

The question is whether the World Jewish Congress (WJC) is a religious or political organization or both, and why does Israel have a central position in Jewish identity for Jews around the world? The World Jewish Congress (WJC) is an international democratic organization representing more than 100 Jewish communities worldwide. The WJC's political orientation and its leaders are elected every four years. The Nordic Jewish communities in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland are entitled to vote in the WJC. The Jewish Central Council (JC), which is an association of Sweden's Jewish communities that are part of the World Jewish Congress (WJC), believes that Sweden should guarantee an annual contribution to JC to pay for security guards at the Jewish communities and Jewish preschools/schools as well as a national support function for the Jewish communities' security work. The WJC and JC demand that the Swedish police should take greater responsibility for ensuring the security of Jewish institutions in Sweden. JC receives grants from the SST Foundation like all other religious communities in Sweden with the exception of the Protestant Church of Sweden, which has its own budget, its own law, the law on the Church of Sweden and its own electoral system, the church election. The difference between the Jewish Central Council (JC) and the Church of Sweden is that the latter has introduced democracy in its religious communities, the church elections, while JC is committed to introducing democracy in its religious communities. Mose is 17 years old and now attends high school in a vulnerable area in Rosengård. He is Jewish like his grandparents who fled to Sweden and not to Israel when Israel did not exist during World War II. Moses wondered if, despite the Swedish restrictive refugee policy, Sweden was allowed to make an exception so that a refugee quota for children was created, the "Child Quota", which allowed 500 Jewish children between the ages of 3 and 15 to get a residence permit in Sweden. The children came from Jewish families in Germany and Austria and were placed in foster families, orphanages or collective housing after their reception, why does this not apply to Palestinian children during Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. Now it's a new year, January 2025, and at the Gymansie School in the vulnerable area, Mose sat in his school desk together with a new student named Johan. When the religious education began, it turned out that the students had different religions, Christians, Catholics, Orthodox, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, etc. When the teacher asked if any of the students knew about the church election, everyone was silent except Johan. Johan answered; I do, and added that he will vote in the church elections now in September 2025, which means that I get to practice democracy one year before the general election that will take place in 2026. The teacher developed his subject in religion and democracy. Two students are sitting in the same school desk, one is Jewish and the other is Christian and they are treated differently, Moses is excluded from the right to practice democracy one year before the general election. Exclusion also applies to other students, such as Catholics and Orthodox, Johan informed. Whose fault do you think, your religious community, the Church of Sweden, your parents, those who organize the church elections and who have not thought about it or the state that should have been separated from the church. Johan added that politicians, the parliamentary parties, also participate in the religious elections, the church elections, even though politics and religion do not belong together. It could be the cause of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia and other violence like the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, Moses said. Is it fair that the Church of Sweden has its own budget while other religious communities receive subsidies from tax funds, asked another student? There is another question as to why were the Jews expelled from Spain already in the 15th century and why did they not go to Israel but instead to Turkey where the Sultan Mahmet gave them legal security and they got a better position than the Christians in Turkey.

This is your lesson, which also applies to the Israel-Palestine conflict and to which you should prepare to have an answer for the next lesson in religious education, the teacher finished his lesson. Now we will start from the following principle! We start from the principle that it is democracy that has given all religious communities freedom of religion, and that democracy be introduced in all religions, without exception. A transition from church elections to a multi-religion electoral system in those countries that already have church elections, In other countries (USA, UK, China, India, Iran, Israel.....) that do not have similar elections, a multi-religion electoral system is introduced. ! The arms industry is an unsustainable industry and therefore it must be phased out in the same way as the tobacco industry! War poses a threat to the environment and humanity.
