About

WHAT ARE WE?

Antisemitism Watch is a nonpartisan 509(a)(2) public charity. Our goal is to combat antisemitism by exposing groups and individuals who espouse and engage in incitement and hatred towards Jewish people. A major part of our mission is developing curricula programs from middle school through university to address the historical and sociological biases that are widespread in many public and private schools, and which perpetrate prejudicial and false stereotypes of Jews. Without a balanced curriculum model, the educational facilities in the U.S. and many other countries will continue to produce generations of antisemites and anti-Israel zealots.  

Also, Antisemitism Watch will collaborate with journalists who are researching stories about anti-Jewish hatred. We are developing a division to lobby public officials for legislation and executive actions that will help mitigate the surge in anti-Jewish hate.

Every contribution goes first to the executing our mission. All of us at Antisemitism Watch are volunteers.

WHY NOW?

For 6 years we have monitored antisemitism at No.Antisemitism, a Facebook page that chronicles daily incidents of Jewish hate around the world. We watched with alarm as antisemitic acts of hate and violence increased steadily each year, breaking records in many countries in 2021, only to be shattered again in 2022. Anti-Jewish violence reached new highs in the U.S., Canada, and across Europe. Antisemitism at leading universities is rampant, both among faculty and students. Criticism of Israel is often used as a cover for hatred against Jewish people. We believe there is a need for a nonpartisan organization with laser focus only on antisemitism. Read about why we believe some mainstream Jewish organizations, whose mission is to combat antisemitism, are too selective in what they decide to fight as anti-Jewish hatred. Read our opinion piece, “Why Another Antisemitism Watchdog” in Newsweek (December 14, 2022).

Exposing Anti-Israel/Anti-Zionism Hate

We Believe

  • In the U.S., Canada, and across Europe, the number of antisemitic attacks broke records for 2021 and 2022. Jews are 2.5 times more likely to be a victim of a hate crime than blacks, and twice as likely as Muslims.
  • That antisemitism has gone mainstream and is too often dismissed or ignored.
  • Progressives mistakenly believe that Jews can take care of themselves and that the crimes against them are of less importance than those directed to other races and religions.
  • Antisemitism often masquerades as Anti-Israel and anti-Zionism zealotry.
  • Social Media fuels conspiracy theories and stereotypical antisemitic aspersions and hatred.
  • A direct and forceful campaign on the government, institutional, and public spheres is required to stem the rise of this ancient hatred.
