Despite making up just 0.2% of the European population, Jews continue to face more hate crimes and harassment than any other religious group. The fact that nearly every Jew in Europe experienced antisemitism last year is alarming and unacceptable. Governments must take urgent action to protect the Jewish community. https://lnkd.in/gC_bXaXH

With antisemitism surging in Europe and globally, 3 in 4 European Jews now fear displaying their Jewish identity in public, according to a new European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights survey. No one should have to hide their religion or any part of their identity. Why are Jews the exception? Where is the outrage? https://lnkd.in/gC_bXaXH

In a significant move against online hate, Meta announced that starting today, it will remove content targeting Zionists with conspiratorial and antisemitic claims, or using "Zionist" for dehumanizing comparisons, calls for harm, or denial of existence. We thank Meta for leading the industry in addressing hate speech and listening to the concerns of the Jewish community, including those of AJC. We hope other platforms will take similar actions. https://lnkd.in/gmwdJGtx

Nearly 9 months since the horrific October 7 attack, we remind all Americans of the eight American hostages still being held in Gaza. These are mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and children whose conditions have been largely unknown for the last 270 days. We must bring them, and all the other hostages, home NOW!

In the past twenty years, the number of Americans who believe that antisemitism is a serious problem jumped from 9% in 2003 to 49%, according to a new Gallup poll. AJC's 2023 data shows that American Jews feel more unsafe than ever. Countering antisemitism requires a whole-of-society approach. Leaders must take this data into account and ensure the safety of the Jewish community. https://lnkd.in/e7HKwhZf

For decades, Hezbollah has been a global threat to peace. Its primary benefactor — Iran — has used the terror group as a proxy to carry out attacks from Argentina to Europe to the Middle East. On October 8, Hezbollah initiated rocket fire toward Israel and hasn't stopped since. Iran and Hezbollah must be stopped. #StandWithIsrael #Israel #AmYisraelChai #StopTerror
