Eruv in Switzerland draws antisemitic accusations from Senator

In one statement, Poggia criticized Israel and referred to a range of unrelated events, including the fatal avalanche incident at the Crans-Montana ski resort, the Octber 7th massacre, and the war in Gaza. In a separate statement focused on the eruv, he said he was “shocked" by the initiative, arguing that it could result in a visibly demarcated Jewish residential area, which he described as a form of “voluntary ghetto."

Rabbi Pinchas Goldschmidt, president of the Conference of European Rabbis and Av Beit Din of Switzerland, said it was inappropriate to link unrelated tragedies to a local religious arrangement. He stated that portraying an eruv as coercive or exclusionary distorts both Jewish law and historical reality, and undermines efforts to foster respectful coexistence.
