AJC CEO Ted Deutch joined MS NOW’s Morning Joe to sound the alarm on rapidly rising antisemitism—including the troubling fact that roughly nine in 10 American Jews (91%) say they feel less safe as a Jewish person in the U.S. as a result of major attacks on American Jews in the past 12 months, according to AJC’s State of Antisemitism in America 2025 Report. Ted discusses the rise of extremism, anti-Israel incitement, and the role of social media and AI in amplifying hate—while calling for a whole-of-society response that engages government, civil society, the private sector, and individuals. As Ted says: “When fear is normalized, for any group, that suggests there's much deeper problems because it affects society as a whole." See the full report at AJC.org/AntisemitismReport2025.
