Policy Recommendations for Combating Antisemitism in the U.S.
(Center for American Progress) Ben Olinsky - A whole-of-society approach to combating antisemitism is needed and must include actions that unify Americans against antisemitism. The surge in antisemitism demands a response that protects the Jewish community and safeguards America's broader society, freedom, and democracy, which have historically provided a haven for Jews. Like with other forms of hate, a key facet of antisemitism that must be combated is that it fundamentally divides a society and scapegoats a group, eroding trust in institutions and neighbors.
