Elon Musk is now the largest individual political donor in modern U.S. history. His antisemitic attacks on George Soros are part of a playbook. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has donated a staggering $369M to influence the 2026 elections, making him the largest individual...
A viral video claiming “no one craves Jewish food” looked like harmless rage bait. A closer look at the creator’s other posts shows a repeated pattern: the “dancing Israelis” 9/11 conspiracy, tropes about Jewish power and control, and calls to hold all Jews accountable for...
It seems like every day we are faced with antisemitic tropes being spread across social media, in political discourse, or in our communities. Whether it’s winking references to “globalists” or claims that Jews control the media/finance/government/etc. or blaming all Jews for the actions of the...
Conspiracy theories blaming Israel for Moroccan migrants entering Spain's Ceuta enclave aren’t just false — they’re an extension of the antisemitic Great Replacement theory. Here's why it matters.
A young Republican group is at the center of an anti-Semitism scandal, again. This time, it's the New York Young Republican Club, a nearly 2000 member group that includes members of Congress and has hosted President Trump as a keynote speaker as recently as 2023.
Antisemitic conspiracy theories rarely arrive as open hatred. They arrive as history you were never taught, scripture someone has finally read for you, a tragedy whose official story feels too clean, a war you have every right to question. The entry point is curiosity or...
The candidate who finished first in the March 3rd Democratic primary for Texas' 35th Congressional District has a major antisemitism problem. There are ways to oppose Israel and Zionism without being antisemitic. Maureen Galindo shoots past that line into straight-up anti-Jewish territory.
I will happily spend every single day of my life fighting for the world I believe in, fighting fora universalist ideal, rather than waste a single second discounting what centuries of my people’s history has taught me. Jewish safety has never and will never stand...
Not all criticism of the war is antisemitic, and not all controversial rhetoric is innocent. The framework is meant to serve as a guide to assess which category statements on the U.S.-Israel war on Iran fall into: antisemitic, not antisemitic, or rhetoric that could unintentionally...
This week, antisemitism came from the new White House press secretary and from a UN special rapporteur, two people who would each say they oppose it. Nexus holds both to the same standard, whatever cause they claim to serve.
Three years after October 7, the grief is still close to the surface, and so is the fear. Jewish parents are checking school blacktops for swastikas.
This week, two major releases made clear that fighting antisemitism and protecting democracy go hand in hand.
Yom Kippur asks for an honest accounting. This year, many Jews made theirs inside synagogues guarded by police, and that fact belongs in the accounting too.
Rabbi Sharon Brous told her congregation on Rosh Hashanah that she no longer trusts the tools most Jewish organizations use to track antisemitism. She is not alone.
Sixty-three years ago, Rabbi Joachim Prinz stood at the Lincoln Memorial minutes before Dr. King and warned America against becoming a nation of onlookers.
The word "antisemitism" was everywhere this week. A movie studio aimed it at a critic of its merger.
Some of what we cover this week is antisemitism. Some of it is the word being used for something else.
Antisemitism is a tangible reality, not just theory or online debates. This week showed how few people with a platform treat it that way.
An AI-generated image of a Jewish candidate with devil horns is still the same image antisemites have drawn for centuries. A conspiracy theory about Israel engineering a migrant crisis is just another form of the Great Replacement conspiracy theory.
Everything this week comes back to a single question: what actually keeps Jews safe? Not statements, not confrontation, not investigations announced in the name of Jewish safety.
This week, New York's mayor called for the arrest of a foreign head of state over the war in Gaza. Meanwhile, a leader of one of the country's most prominent young Republican clubs was photographed making what appears to be a Nazi salute.
