We equip policymakers and communities with tools to combat antisemitism. We oppose and counter efforts to exploit false accusations of antisemitism for political gain and foster unity against all forms of hate and discrimination.
The Nexus Project advocates for robust, concrete action to push back against antisemitism. We urge policymakers and civic leaders to implement the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. We oppose the use of accusations of antisemitism as political tools to stifle criticism of Israel. And we rally communities together to advocate for desperately needed action to protect Jews from hate, violence, discrimination, and harassment and to fight all racism and bigotry.
A Campus Guide to Identifying Antisemitism in a Time of Perplexity, produced by the Nexus Task Force, offers a nuanced framework for recognizing antisemitic behavior on college campuses. It distinguishes itself by carefully delineating between antisemitic speech and legitimate criticism of Israel or Zionism, providing clear guidelines to navigate this complex issue. The guide aims to foster a balanced approach to addressing antisemitism while preserving academic freedom and open dialogue.
Antisemitism consists of anti-Jewish beliefs, attitudes, actions or systemic conditions. It includes negative beliefs and feelings about Jews, hostile behavior directed against Jews (because they are Jews), and conditions that discriminate against Jews and significantly impede their ability to participate as equals in political, religious, cultural, economic, or social life.
The strategy represents the most comprehensive and ambitious U.S. government effort to counter antisemitism in American history. To implement this strategy, executive agencies will take a broad array of actions to address antisemitism. But the federal government cannot address antisemitism alone. This strategy also calls on Congress to act and play its part in countering antisemitism. It urges action from all of society —state and local authorities, civil society, community and faith leaders, the private sector, individual citizens.
The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism was released by the White House in May 2023.
