Dismantling Anti-Semitism: 

Jews Talk Justice

“Anti-Semitism has three sources. The ethnic supremacist far-right, the anti-Zionist far-left, and radical Islam. Three groups that should hate each other, mysteriously, are united by their hatred of the Jewish people.”

Elan Carr, US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism

Dismantling Antisemitism: Jews Talk Justice provided an accurate forum on anti-Semitism in the political and progressive spheres by amplifying the voices of actual Jewish leaders.

In an era of surging bigotry, Jews are facing increased violence and a movement in which those who have used their platform to stoke widespread anti-Semitism try to evade accountability by redefining the term. This event addressed the right of Jews to define oppression against them by a diverse panel of intersectional leaders who do not distinguish between combating all forms of anti-Semitism and fighting for racial equality, gender justice, and Indigenous rights. 

This enlightening panel illustrated the harm that is caused by anti-Semites who highlight only fringe Jewish voices while ignoring mainstream Jewish experiences of discrimination. These voices try to redefine anti-Semitism rather than do the necessary work to fight it.
