American Jewish Committee (AJC) hailed today’s announcement by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo that Elan Carr has been appointed Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism.
AJC has joined with Christian and Jewish advocacy organizations in filing an amicus brief calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to rule unconstitutional a large Latin cross on government property in a Washington, D.C. suburb.
AJC is urging France’s political leadership to re-examine the efficacy of current strategies to combat rising antisemitism in France. The call comes following the release of a government report showing a 74% spike in antisemitic incidents during 2018, compared to the previous year.
