The White House released a broad national strategy to fight antisemitism, describing the initiative as unprecedented in scope amid a surge in anti-Jewish crime.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg warned against antisemitism in the US becoming more overt. ‘Not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking but standing proud ...’, describing the initiative as unprecedented in scope amid a surge in anti-Jewish crime.
"It sends a clear and forceful message," Biden said of the strategy, arguing silence in the face of antisemitism is the same as complicity."In America, evil will not win. Hate will not prevail. The venom of antisemitism will not be the story of our time."former President Trump's remarks However, rather than endorse a definition, the White House refers to several competing definitions of antisemitism as educational tools for both elected officials and the public.
Experts have argued the definition is important for a range of practical uses such as adjudicating legal cases, monitoring bigotry on campuses and training law enforcement. Mainstream Jewish advocacy groups, such as the American Jewish Committee and Jewish Federations of North America, have pushed for the administration to adopt IHRA's definition.
The strategy also pledges to"combat antisemitism abroad and in international fora — including efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel." It also notes the administration's"unshakeable commitment to the state of Israel's right to exist, its legitimacy, and its security" and the"deep historical, religious, cultural, and other ties many American Jews and other Americans have to Israel.
