ERADICATE ANTISEMITISM
One should feel an obligation to educate themselves and others on the proper treatment of the Jewish community.
Officially defined, it is hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group. Examples of this are quite broad, including anything from Holocaust jokes to violent attacks on synagogues.

This misconception is what allows antisemitism to exist without question in our modern world. In reality, antisemitism is on the rise all over the world; the Anti-Defamation League reported 2,107 acts in just the U.S. during the year 2019 (the highest since 1979).

Yes. Criticizing the Israeli government is completely admissable. But, unfortunately, far too many use their criticism of the Israeli government to mask their truly antisemetic beliefs. Therefore, it is crucial that one takes a moment to reflect on what they are saying when speaking of the Israeli government or the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Hi. My name is Eliana Abir, and I am an Iranian, Messianic Jew. Therefore, as a jew myself, the issue of antisemitism being on the rise is quite disheartening to me. I have seen so much antisemitism around me whether on social media or in person, yet those experiences don't even begin to scratch the surface. A dream I have for the future is to go to France, where antisemitism is increasingly evident, and witness to the jewish community there.
