Understanding and Challenging Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism and Anti-Israel Bias
This interactive presentation will examine the history of antisemitism, persistent antisemitic myths, tropes and stereotypes, and where we are today, in terms of both the current landscape and the impact of rising antisemitism, anti-Zionism and anti-Israel bias on Jewish people and the Jewish community in the United States. There will be opportunities to share experiences and concerns as well as to discuss strategies to challenge this “Oldest Hatred”.
