Fighting Antisemitism Giving Opportunities
Even before the October 7 attack on Israel and the ongoing war, the Jewish community has been grappling with alarming levels of antisemitism in recent years. This increase in antisemitism has left many in the Jewish community feeling “othered,” scared, isolated, and even unsafe. The trend cuts across many sectors: in government and politics, in schools and universities, on social media, in public places, in our workplaces, and beyond. This troublesome trend has grown across our political spectrum and is most pronounced on both left and right extremes.
Since October 7, global antisemitism has exploded. According to ADL, “in the aftermath of the October 7th attack in Israel, ADL has tracked a shocking rise in antisemitism in the U.S. and around the world. Hateful rhetoric online and off, and hate-fueled antisemitic and Islamophobic assaults, discrimination and violence have punctured the fabric of communities especially on U.S. college campuses.”
Preliminary data from ADL shows that in the three months following October 7, antisemitic incidents increased by 361 percent compared to the same period one year prior. Organizations fighting extremism and antisemitic hate need resources to answer this growing threat.
