In recent years, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism has emerged as the global “gold standard” in the collective effort against rising contemporary Jew-hatred, in all its manifestations.
The definition’s far-reaching impact is rooted in the broad-based consensus that has formed around it, with more than 1,100 entities worldwide adopting or endorsing it as an essential tool to delineate what constitutes prejudiced behavior toward the Jewish people, with the following countries and U.S. states among them.
At a critical moment in history, with antisemitism levels soaring to unprecedented highs in the post-WWII era, more than 200 city leaders gathered in Southern California for the 2024 Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism.
In an impassioned call for action, CAM CEO Sacha Roytman shared the powerful story of his late Holocaust survivor grandfather, underscoring the continuity of the struggle against the world’s oldest and most persistent hatred and renewing the sacred vow of “Never Again.”

We want to take a moment to appreciate the hard work and dedication of our @camenespanol team for their pivotal role in organizing the IV Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism in Costa Rica earlier this November. 🌍
This impactful forum, under the name “Zero Tolerance for Hate,” brought together 19 countries to unite in the fight against antisemitism and all forms of discrimination.We are so grateful for the tireless efforts of everyone involved in making this event a success. A huge thank you to all partners and the entire team for creating such a powerful moment of action.

Actions Matter – Last week, we at CAM had the privilege of organizing this transformative summit alongside our partners at @elnet_d . Together, we brought over 100 global leaders and experts to Vienna to unite in the fight against antisemitism.
The summit featured powerful panels, insightful workshops, and impactful discussions, addressing the urgent need for practical solutions to combat antisemitism worldwide. It was emphasized repeatedly throughout the event that now is not the time for words alone – it’s time for action. Among the distinguished attendees were:
🗣️ David Rot, Israeli Ambassador to Austria
🗣️ Dr. Felix Klein, Germany’s Commissioner for Jewish Life
🗣️ @yaelarado, Chair of the Israeli Olympic Committee
🗣️ @michalcotlerwunsh , Former Knesset Member and Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism
This event marked a crucial moment in building stronger international partnerships and concrete actions to protect Jewish communities and uphold democratic values. Together, we are not merely engaging in discourse – we are taking decisive and tangible action. #ActionsMatter24

Legally targeting groups has always led to tragedy. As our CEO @sacharoytman writes in a recent @thejerusalem_post article, the Nazi regime’s Nuremberg Laws are a stark example of how legal systems can be weaponized against a people. From then to today, legal frameworks must protect, not persecute. We must stay vigilant to ensure justice is truly for all.

A truly emotional day at @saracademyriverdale in New York City, where the CAM team and the @israeljudoassociation delegation were welcomed by the incredible students. 🇮🇱✨ Watching the children sing Hatikva alongside our athletes was a moment we will never forget.
It was a day filled with meaning, unity, and pride—connecting generations, cultures, and hearts. The power of this shared experience, as we stood together in solidarity and love for Israel, was truly overwhelming. 💙
Thank you to everyone at SAR Academy for making this day so special.
While in Israel @montanatucker met with Holocaust survivor Dr. Arnold Clevs as part of @zikaronbasalon. As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors it was incredibly important for Montana to bear witness to his story to make sure it lives on. We must never forget #neverforget #neveragain #neveragainisnow #zikaronbasalon

@jzarif_ir - Mr. Zarif, your revisionist history fails to acknowledge the persecution many of us, including my family, faced in Iran. Zionism isn’t colonialism—it’s our fight for safety and self-determination in our indigenous homeland. Comparing Israel to Nazi Germany? It’s offensive and dangerous.
If you truly want peace, start with the truth

Yesterday in Brooklyn, a masked man attempted to snatch a young boy from his Jewish father.
Jewish communities worldwide are facing escalating threats, from Amsterdam to New York to Israel.
Today marks 400 days since October 7th. 101 hostages are still held captive in Gaza. It’s been too long. Let’s be their voice and call for their freedom. #ReleaseThemNow
86 years ago, Kristallnacht marked the beginning of the Holocaust as Jewish synagogues, homes, and businesses were destroyed in a night of terror. This brutal assault on the dignity and freedom of Jews is a reminder of the devastating path that unchecked hatred can take. Learning from the past, we stand firm today—refusing to compromise when antisemitism rears its ugly head.
Following the attack in Amsterdam, we have decided not to repost, share, or commend any statements of condemnation from politicians.
They come too late.
For years, we’ve been raising awareness about the growing threats of radical Islamism and its spread of anti-Jewish rhetoric worldwide, yet no action was taken.
From now on, we will welcome actions, not words.
Title: Disturbing Incident in Amsterdam
After a soccer match, Jews were assaulted under the cover of darkness, evoking memories of some of history’s darkest times.
A Jew left for dead.
Unconscious.
On the streets of Amsterdam in 2024.
On the eve of the sad anniversary of Kristallnacht.
History is repeating itself.
This is a strong and necessary decision by the state of Israel. UNRWA stands alone as the only relief organization known to have terrorists among its staff, to store military materials in its schools, and to have its infrastructure used for launching deadly attacks.
Do we really accept that an organization like this receives backing from the global institution charged with maintaining peace? I certainly don’t.
If there’s an urgent need, it’s to dismantle UNRWA completely. In its place, establish an organization managed by countries committed to genuinely supporting Palestinians. And ensure that international aid is never again manipulated to spread terror.
The world has failed to protect Palestinians from Hamas, and international aid has been misused, empowering those who threaten Israel instead of fulfilling its intended purpose. The UN, and especially @antonioguterres, owe Israel an apology for allowing a UN agency to foster conditions that contributed to the October 7 Massacre.
Israel announced that overnight, it successfully carried out its first strike on Iranian military facilities. All Israeli forces have now returned safely to Israeli territory.
Iran has long been the region’s largest supporter of terrorism and a leading source of global antisemitism.
This protest by Code Pink crosses every boundary of decency. In Congress, activists paraded as Jewish concentration camp prisoners, with their leader, Medea Benjamin flaunting a Star of David while pushing a naked man through the halls.
The display was antisemitic, repugnant, and a disturbing exploitation of Holocaust memory.
Accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza is a harmful misrepresentation that fosters hatred against Jews and Israel. Genocide involves intentional acts intended to destroy a group in whole or in part, such as mass killings or imposing life-threatening conditions. Israel’s actions in Gaza do not meet this definition. Instead, Israel takes extraordinary measures to protect civilians, including issuing millions of warnings through text messaging and leaflets for civilians to evacuate before military targets are engaged, striving to minimize civilian casualties.
Hamas complicates this by using civilians as human shields, hiding military assets in residential areas, schools, and hospitals, which makes it difficult for Israel to target them without risking civilian lives. These false accusations ignore the efforts Israel makes to avoid civilian harm and distort the reality of the conflict, contributing to antisemitic rhetoric and undermining a balanced discourse on the issue
