AJC CEO Ted Deutch

AJC CEO Ted Deutch joined CNN to sound the alarm on rapidly rising antisemitism—including the fact that a majority (56%) of American Jews report changing their behavior out of fear of antisemitism, according to AJC’s State of Antisemitism in America Report. As Ted says: "[American Jews] made a conscious decision to change where they go, what they do, what they say, what they wear because of antisemitism that they see all around them.”

Monday evening, at American Jewish Committee (AJC) Philadelphia/Southern New Jersey’s 80th Anniversary Celebration: Shaping a New Future, AJC CEO Ted Deutch was joined by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro for a conversation about antisemitism, the future of Jewish communities in Pennsylvania and across the nation, and growing political polarization not only in Philadelphia but throughout the country.

What lessons can be drawn from the post-October 7 era? Amid growing isolation and antisemitism, where do opportunities for hope and resilience lie for the Jewish people? AJC CEO Ted Deutch and Bernard-Henri Lévy—renowned French philosopher, public intellectual, and author of Israel Alone—explore these critical questions.

On October 1, Iran launched over 180 ballistic missiles at Israel, marking the largest-ever single ballistic missile attack. Israel, with the help of the U.S. and its allies, intercepted most of the missiles using its multi-layered air defense system, but some hit central Israel, resulting in casualties. The attack, which Iran claims was in retaliation for Israel's assassination of key Hezbollah and Hamas leaders, is part of Iran’s long-standing campaign against Israel, which it seeks to eliminate. In response, Israel is preparing for further action, with global allies condemning the attack and offering support.

As world leaders gather in New York for the U.N. General Assembly next week, there should be one item that tops their agenda: Condemn Hamas for the atrocities of Oct. 7 and demand the release of the hostages.

All across the country and around the world, the Jewish community gathered earlier this month in profound grief and solidarity to honor the memory of those taken from us by an act of pure evil committed by Hamas terrorists. We stood together, united in our sorrow and determination, that the lives of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Eden Yerushalmi, Carmel Gat, Almog Sarusi, Alex Lubnov and Ori Danino will not be forgotten, and that no other living hostage will meet the same fate.

AJC CEO Ted Deutch joined Second Gentlemen Douglas Emhoff, Jewish community members and leaders at the National Vigil for the Hostages in Washington, D.C. to mourn the hostages ruthlessly murdered by Hamas.

In the face of skyrocketing anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hate toward the Jewish state and the Jewish people, AJC CEO Ted Deutch reminds the world that the global Jewish community—with its strength and unity—will rise above the bigotry.

American history is full of Jewish heroes — famous names like Albert Einstein, Sandy Koufax, and Stan Lee. But during Jewish American History Month, and on Memorial Day, I am most inspired by the many American Jews who have demonstrated extraordinary dedication and courage while serving in our country’s military. People who exemplify patriotism. People, in other words, who remind me of my dad.
