Combating Antisemitism and Protecting Free Speech

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 we foster unity against all forms of hate and discrimination.

What We Do

The Nexus Project works to fight antisemitism and to protect free speech — and recognizes that these tasks are intertwined. We take all accusations of antisemitism seriously, which is why we also speak out when fears of antisemitism are cynically exploited to stifle legitimate criticism of Israel or US policy.

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.
