Dear Friends,

On Sunday, we have an opportunity to stand against anti-Semitism in France following the acquittal of the murderer of Sarah Halimi. Learn more and see how you can participate below. Let your voice be heard!

A minivan driver was arrested after an intentional hit-and-run that injured five orthodox Jews in Brooklyn – the latest incident in a spate of hate crimes that have targeted people who are visibly Jewish in New York City. In Northern Ireland, Jewish gravestones were desecrated and toppled.

A proposal for a new European super football league resulted in a wave of public anti-Semitism from fans. Just prior, Dutch soccer fans chanted “Hamas, Jews to the gas,” before a match against Ajax – a team known to have many Jewish supporters. Meanwhile, the European Union announced $2 billion in funding for its new comprehensive strategy to combat anti-Semitism among member states.

CAM’s global anti-Semitism report this week highlights 41 new media reports of anti-Semitic incidents – 19 incidents (46%) from the far-right, 9 incidents (22%) from the far-left, 7 incidents (17%) with Islamist motivations, and 6 incidents (15%) were unidentifiable.

Tomorrow marks Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day, memorializing the 1.5 million Armenians killed by Ottoman forces in the 20th century’s first genocide. Explaining his own genocidal plans in 1939, Hitler reportedly observed that he expected to receive little pushback: “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

More than a century later, even as some still deny the decimation of Armenians, CAM stands with the Armenian community and persecuted Christians everywhere. We remember the atrocities and all the murdered civilians while vowing to act today to overcome bigotry before it turns deadly.
