Meeting the Challenge of Jew Hate in Europe and America

Across the nations of Europe and North America, antisemitism is on the rise. There is not a single country where Jewish individuals and institutions are free from attack. Many countries have been forced to create special police or military units to protect synagogues and Jewish community centers. The rise of antisemitism has closely followed the rise of Muslim immigration and the radicalization of the political Left. The
common cause of hating Jews has led Marxists and Islamists to join forces to marginalize Jewish presence in society. Jews have been advised to hide their Jewishness by removing jewelry with the Star of David or wearing a cap instead of a kippa.

Recently another group has joined the bandwagon of Jew-hatred. This new movement led by podcasters and pundits, these individuals have promoted historical revisionists that make the U.S. and UK villains of World War II. They spread conspiracies about Israel and Jewish control of world leaders. Frequently, these voices will use Christian motifs and language to push their hate. This is evil. No matter what the source, there is no space for Jew Hate in the Free World.

The goal of the Marxist (Red), Islamist (Green), Political Antisemites (Black) alliance is the destruction of Western Civilization. For it was out of the reading of the Bible, the Old and New Testaments, that political philosophers of the 17th and 18th centuries shaped our understanding of freedom and the rights of man. These attacks currently focus on
the Jews but will quickly expand to Christians and all people of conscience if they are given the chance.

To confront this challenge, we must:

Act:We must combat the Global Intifada. The enemies of freedom have embraced Jew Hate as an instrument of hybrid and political warfare exercised through sophisticated, well-funded and politically connected networks. These are weapons being used to undermine the Free World. The most important task is to demolish these networks whether supported and directed by foreign states like China and Russia, Islamists, or domestic radicals. These networks must be mapped, exposed, delegitimized, disrupted, defeated, and demolished. These efforts, paired with positive vision and action with our friends and allies across the Islamic world such as the work of the Board of Peace and U.S. led efforts in reconstruction in places like Gaza, Lebanon and Syria,  the India-Middle East-Europe Corridor (IMEC), the Abraham Accords, and the
development of & free and open spaces and linking peoples and nations together.

Educate: This is not a fight for one generation. We must gird civilization now and for the future to combat an ancient scourge. We have a generation that has grown up without the lessons of the past. They do not remember or have direct experience with the Holocaust, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the violent Marxist revolutions across Africa
and South America. We must expose the correlation between the rise of Islamic influence in Europe and the U.S. and the rise in antisemitism. We must educate about the history of antisemitism and the destructive ideology that flows from this evil.

Mobilize: Armed with an understanding of the grave threat of antisemitism and what must be done to defeat it, we must press them to turn that knowledge into action. It’s not enough to have a defensive orientation towards preventing attacks on Jews. We must put forth
policies and actions that defeat the threat. This challenge is as much, if not more, for civil society and individuals than governments. Jew Hate is in our communities, and it is our problem. One example of collective effort is the U.S. National Task Force to Combat Antisemitism Pledge and its list of resources. You can find the pledge and all their
resources at www.NTFCAntisemitism.org.
