Antisemitism:

A Two-Night Virtual Summit

The Dangerous Reality We Must Confront

Following the terrorist attack on Israel on October 7, anti-Israel and antisemitic demonstrations, vandalism and acts of violence have increased nearly 400 percent since the same time period in 2022, averaging 34 events every day in the US.

 

[It’s] a crisis, a five-alarm fire,” warned Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Where did the fire start and what’s feeding it?
