Jewish Groups Call for Federal Action Amid Rise in Antisemitic Attacks

HeadlineMay 26, 2021

A coalition of Jewish organizations is calling on President Biden to appoint a special envoy to monitor the rise of antisemitism in the United States. On Monday, Biden condemned what he called “despicable” attacks on the Jewish community. On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed anti-Zionism is a form of antisemitism, but many progressive Jewish groups and writers reject the claim. Peter Beinart writes in The Guardian, “Anti-Zionism is not inherently antisemitic — and claiming it is uses Jewish suffering to erase the Palestinian experience.”
