The National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism
At a time of rising antisemitism in the United States, ADL will continue delivering on commitments to support the execution of this first-of-its kind strategy to address antisemitism from across the political spectrum.
Rise in Antisemitism Since October 7th
In the wake of Hamas’s October 7th terrorist attack on Israel, we have seen a dramatic rise in antisemitic incidents across the United States and around the world, particularly on college and university campuses. The White House has condemned this hate at the highest levels and announced additional actions to combat antisemitism. More than ever, the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism is critical to protect Jewish lives and push back on this vile hate.
Pillars of the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism
Pillar Three:
Reverse the normalization of antisemitism and counter antisemitic discrimination
ADL Contributes to the Whole-of-Society Approach
To support the National Strategy’s whole-of-society call to action, the White House announced commitments from organizations across the private sector, civil society, religious and multi-faith communities, and higher education to counter antisemitism and build cross-community solidarity. ADL is delivering on our promises made alongside the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.
ADL is strengthening cross-community engagements with local United We Stand convenings to build understanding among diverse partners. We are fighting antisemitism in K-12 schools and on college and university campuses and supporting Jewish Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) in the government and private sector. In addition, ADL joined with the Interparliamentary Task Force to Combat Online Antisemitism to address the challenges and opportunities presented by AI and other new technologies. In November 2023, ADL and the Interparliamentary Task Force convened global parliamentarians and legislators, special envoys, White House officials, and technology company executives to discuss steps the companies must take to ensure AI and Generative AI tools do not contribute to the proliferation of online antisemitism and hate.
In May 2023, the White House released its strategy to combat antisemitism, adopting more than 30 ADL policy recommendations to shape the plan. ADL set the foundation for these recommendations with its COMBAT Plan, building on our expertise, thought leadership, research and data.
