A quarter-century after the bombing of the AMIA Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, the president of Argentina has added Hezbollah to a registry of terrorist organizations and has frozen its assets.
In one of the most substantial and far-reaching discussions on antisemitism ever convened by the U.S. government, AJC Chief Policy and Political Affairs Officer Jason Isaacson on Monday joined scholars, senior officials, and policymakers at the Department of Justice to sound the alarm about the rise of anti-Jewish hatred.
On July 18, Argentine and Jewish communities around the world commemorate the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Israeli Mutual Association (AMIA) building, the center of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires – the deadliest antisemitic attack outside Israel since the Holocaust.
AJC examined what the 2020 presidential candidates have said or done to address antisemitism to determine the degree to which they have made it a priority on their platforms or campaigns.
The results are in from AJC’s first-ever concurrent surveys of Jewish opinion in the United States, Israel, and France — the world’s three largest Jewish communities, comprising the overwhelming majority of world Jewry.
