Amid rising antisemitism and a wave of deadly terror attacks on Israel, we’re calling on all Jews and allies of the Jewish community to unite against all forms of Jew-hatred in celebration of Jewish American Heritage month and Israeli Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut.
Extremism threatens Jewish life, minorities, and Western democracies. The AJC Berlin Ramer Institute is at the forefront in the fight against extremism in all its forms.
A historic United Nations report on global antisemitism was published by the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, in late 2019. It is the first-ever stand-alone human rights report dedicated solely to antisemitism. The report documents rising antisemitic violence and hate speech around the world, identifying it as a threat to Jews and as “toxic” to democratic societies.
