Nexus Project National Director Jonathan Jacoby told Moment Magazine that it’s wrong for leading Jewish organizations to abandon their commitment to civil rights, and that combating all forms of hatred is critical to maintaining Jewish American safety. “If we don’t stand with those targeted groups and defend their rights now, who will stand with us when the antisemites in and around the Trump administration come directly for us?…Anything that weakens democracy weakens Jewish safety. Upholding the Constitution, protecting academic freedom, civil discourse, civil rights, these are all strategies for fighting antisemitism.”
