Jews can’t fight antisemitic attacks alone
It’s not just up to Jews to stop antisemitism. It’s up to non-Jews to help us and stand against hate. With antisemitic violence on the rise in the last few years, according to incidents tracked by the Anti-Defamation League, political leaders and policymakers have a responsibility to act. Antisemitism is not a Jewish problem; it is a national problem that requires a unified response.
What does antisemitism look like in America? A grandmother killed in the street
Three states that we cover − Maryland, Virginia and Colorado − are in the top 10 for antisemitic instances. In 2023, the FBI reported, Jews were the targets of 15% of hate crimes and an astonishing 68% of religion-based hate crimes nationwide.
