The government, in going after Penn to "fight antisemitism," has asked for "a list of members of Jewish-related campus groups and the names of employees in the school's Jewish Studies Program."

Whatever one’s views of the event taking place inside the synagogue, this is not simply about problematic language or intimidation. Chanting ‘death to the IDF’ may be constitutionally protected speech, but bringing calls for violence to a gathering place for Jews heightens real-world risk to them.

“There is a difference between protesting against the IDF or Israeli policy—and standing in front of a synagogue chanting ‘globalize the intifada’ and ‘death to the IDF.’ One is free expression; the other puts Jewish lives at risk—and is dangerously antisemitic.” -Jonathan Jacoby, President of Nexus

We are deeply concerned by the relaunch of the Oath Keepers, an extremist militia known for racist and antisemitic ideology.
The group’s conspiratorial worldview reflects a long pattern of antisemitism fueling authoritarian movements, turning fear into justification for violence.

I will not take my lessons on what is best for the Jews from Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has no business telling Jewish people how we should vote — and his constant attacks on Jews who don’t align with his politics and ideology are dangerous and appalling.

Everyone from Sen. Schumer to Sen. McConnell has called out the Heritage Foundation for bending a knee to Jew hate.
This has nothing to do with political affiliations. This is about telling Heritage it is not OK to normalize and legitimize white supremacy, Holocaust denial, antisemitism and hatred.
