ANALYSIS
(15 Pieces)
1. WHY BDS FAILS MY 3D TEST ON ANTI-SEMITISM
By Natan Sharanksy
…I came up with “the 3D test for anti-Semitism”— demonization, delegitimization and double standards. When we use the 3D test, we easily distinguish between legitimate criticism and anti-Semitism. These 3Ds are the three main tools that anti-Semites employed against Jews throughout history. My 3D test shows that if we see these same tools that were used against Jews in the past being used against the collective Jew, the Jewish State—we know we are witnessing a new face of the old anti-Semitism.

2. ANY U.S.-IRAN TALKS MUST ADDRESS THE ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM
By Jonathan A. Greenblatt
We are alarmed by the raw and relentless anti-Semitism espoused by this regime. Iran’s government routinely talks about wiping Israel off the planet. Just 70 years after the Holocaust, it is imperative that we never forget when leaders promise to kill you, take them at their word. These actions remind us that the specter of a nuclear Iran is an existential threat to the safety and security of the Jewish people and the Jewish state. Read Here
3. WHY DOES THE WOMEN’S MARCH HAVE A JEWISH PROBLEM?
By Jonathan S. Tobin
That the March was led for so long by fans of Farrakhan and those who consider women who are Zionists to be inauthentic females is not an accident.

By The Business Journal, Youngstown, Ohio
Dr. Deborah Lipstadt says the rise in anti-Semitism comes from the left, the right and from Islamist extremists. “We’ve never had it where it’s coming from all these directions at once…Genocide never begins with actions.

By EJ Kimball
Claims that Greenblatt “wasn’t the right guy” for the job are wrong. He has arguably done more to advance the cause of peace between Israel and the Palestinians than any diplomat in recent memory…[including] denouncing the fact that UNRWA is “allowed to teach” an anti-Semitic curriculum. Read Here

7. FAKE NEWS MAKES HEADLINES TODAY, BUT HAS ANCIENT ANTI-SEMITIC ROOTS
By Robert Philpot
The 16th century German theologian Martin Luther demonstrates that there’s nothing new about fake news.

By Gilead Ini
The NY Times architecture critic Michael Kimmelman took aim at a planned line of cable cars that Jerusalem hopes will soon shuttle visitors to the Old City’s touristic center. He endorses concerns that Jews who run the city will turn Jerusalem from a “global heritage site“ into a “Jewish-themed Epcot” and that future riders might be “funneled through a Jewish version of the city’s history.” The “Jewish version” of history could be better described as, well, “history.” Read Here

By Karol Markowicz

By Beth Kissileff
The man who blew the shofar last year at my synagogue is not here to blow it now. He was murdered on Oct. 27.

This Rosh Hashanah, all American Jews, shocked to our core at the resurgence of violent anti-Semitism will hear the shofar as a wail and scream. Read Here
13. What does ‘Jew down’ mean, and why do people find it offensive?
By Marcy Oster
The term to “Jew down” was born of stereotypes formed during medieval times about Jews being cheap or prone to hoard money. Often they were forced into financial occupations and thus were best known as money lenders, leaving them vulnerable to anti-Semitic misrepresentations. Think of portrayals such as Shylock, the villainous lender in Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice.” Read Here
14. To Fight Anti-Semitism, Look to Theodor Herzl
By Bari Weiss
Herzl offered a window into his embrace not just of Zionism but of Judaism. He began to love Judaism with great fervor…there was only one way out of this Jewish suffering— to return to Judaism. Like Herzl, we face an “age-old hatred” that presents itself in multiple new guises. And so many of us are tempted to erase the parts of ourselves that seem unacceptable. Herzl experienced a conversion from shame to pride, from accommodation to assertion, from quiet death by assimilation to full life by affirmation. It is a conversion that I believe American Jews, the luckiest in history, must emulate. Read Here
15. American Jews must not be afraid to show up on the High Holidays
By Jonathan S. Tobin
This Rosh Hashanah, Jews need to stand up to hate by being present, and rabbis need to use the Days of Awe to remind us of our obligation to examine our own shortcomings . If we are to effectively combat hate, as well as help our nation at a critical time, then we must focus on the ability to listen, learn and try to bind our wounds, rather than making them worse.

Round 1 Deadline: December 1, 2019 (future rounds coming soon)
OVER 120,000 INDIVIDUALS AND 140 ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE BELOW, HAVE SIGNED OUR PLEDGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
“Combat anti-Semitism (CAS) is a non-partisan, global grassroots movement of interfaith individuals and organizations united to combat anti-Semitism. CAS exposes anti-Semitic activity from across the ideological spectrum and highlights those working to fight against its resurgence. One of the most pernicious forms of modern anti-Semitism is the effort to deny and delegitimize the Jewish people’s right to self-determination and their profound historic, religious and cultural connection to their ancestral homeland, Israel. Humanity flourishes when diversity is respected. We work to encourage understanding so tragedies like the Holocaust or any incidents of hate inspired violence never happen again.”
