NEW YORK, Jan. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Antisemitic attacks reached a record level in 2021 and by many indications, 2022 will far exceed that dark year. Antisemitic acts are now almost commonplace as entertainment, sports and political icons bring Jew-hatred into the mainstream.
Key Points:
- FBI director Christopher Wray recently said that 63 percent of all hate attacks are motivated by antisemitism, yet Jews only represent two percent of the population.
- Against this backdrop, Antisemitism-911.org , a new resource offered by The Focus Project, has been launched to help those threatened, intimidated or victimized – and those who simply want to be prepared.
- Approved resources include ADL, Hadassah, the Brandeis Center, StandWithUs, the Israeli American Council and Echoes and Reflections.
- It also provides educational information and resources about antisemitism – when it becomes unlawful, and when anti-Zionism crosses into antisemitism.
