A new poll confirms that American Jews are united by a shared concern about antisemitism, but that consensus breaks down when it comes to where threats originate and how to address them. Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research took a closer look at the Jewish Voters Resource Center's latest survey.

This week, let’s dive into false claims that Israel, or a Jewish lobby acting on its behalf, secretly controls the U.S. government.

🧵 Trump yesterday: "How a Jewish person can vote for a Democrat is beyond me. I've been the best president in the history of Israel and they acknowledge it." One sentence, several antisemitic assumptions packed inside. Let's break them down.

"...the Jewish tradition constantly reminds us that we were once strangers in a strange land. I take out of that a sort of universal commitment to protect the rights, the dignity, the ability to participate of everybody." -Justin Florence, @protectdemocracy.org

There are forces that want to pit trans & Jewish communities against each other. How can we build spaces that refuse to take that bait? @newisraelfund.bsky.social's Idit Klein, founder and former CEO of @keshetlgbtqjews.bsky.social, explains how we can begin to think about Jewish-trans solidarity.

Welcome back to Antisemitic Myths 101 📝 This week, we’re diving into the five dancing Israelis who conspiracy theorists use as “evidence” to prove that Israel either knew about 9/11 beforehand or was involved in the attacks.

“Now is the time to strengthen the antisemitism envoy’s mandated work, not compromise it.” Hannah Rosenthal on how the Trump Admin is “taking yet another step backward in the global fight against antisemitism” by trying to lump her former office together with the Special Envoy on Holocaust Issues:

Transgender people are a vital part of our communities. Trans Jews belong here.

🧵 Nexus welcomes the Supreme Court’s rejection of President Trump’s executive order attacking birthright citizenship — one of the bedrocks of American democracy and Constitution.

Antisemitism and misogyny often go hand in hand. If you missed it, @fatimagossgraves.bsky.social, CEO of @nwlc.org, joined our recent America 250 webinar. Watch the full recording here: youtu.be/Cd6lBQWPgY0?...

NYC: Join us TODAY at P&T Knitwear for our talk with Nexus Task Force Member Professor @lilacb.bsky.social on her new book, 'Who Is American? Belonging and the Question of Jewish Citizenship.' Doors open at 6:45pm with the talk starting at 7:00pm. FREE with RSVP.

We condemn this physical intimidation and antisemitic harassment of @scottwiener.bsky.social – from the demonstrators shouting about his “Zionist handlers” to the fact that he was not able to safely attend a solidarity Shabbat service as a result. It’s unacceptable.

According to a new CASJE review of recent surveys, “Zionism” means anything. Or nothing, depending on who you ask. 🧵

MUST READ story from Nexus Task Force fellow @emilyctamkin.bsky.social!

Just because something isn’t explicitly antisemitic doesn’t mean it’s okay. The Nexus Project’s @n8w0lf.bsky.social shares his take on the Brooklyn coffee shop incident and other edge cases.

This is rank antisemitism from a newly elected official. The social post in question and the doubling down in follow-up conversations with JI are unacceptable.  We are glad the DSA officials sharply disavowed Charrington's post and stated it has no place in their movement.

NY GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman: "Even though he's Jewish, [Brad Lander] would be a camp guard in the concentration camp if he could" This is a truly vile, antisemitic attack on a Jewish candidate, his many Jewish supporters, and the memory of the Holocaust.

Trump once again uses "Palestinian" as a slur against Chuck Schumer. It's racist. It's antisemitic. It would be embarrassing coming from your bigoted uncle at a barbecue let alone the President of the United States in the Oval Office. We all must demand better than this.

Joe Rogan painting Nick Fuentes as an expert on Israel-Palestine instead of a Jew-hating, misogynistic extremist is exactly how antisemitism becomes normalized.

"​Jews have always been safest in a thriving democracy. The country that is safest for Jews is the country that is safest for all of our neighbors." Read our CEO, @jamieberan.bsky.social's, latest piece on our Jewish fight for voting rights and how our multifaith, multiracial majority can win.

In her new book, 'Who Is American? Belonging and the Question of Jewish Citizenship,' Nexus Task Force Member Prof. @lilacb.bsky.social explores the evolving legal and social status of Jewish people in the United States. For those of you in New York City, join our book chat 6/29 at P&T Knitwear!

Welcome back to Antisemitic Myths 101 📝 This week, we’re unpacking the claim that the assassination of Charlie Kirk was secretly orchestrated by Israel, because Kirk had supposedly grown critical of it. Read the full series here: nexusproject.us/nexus-resour...

Appreciate the critically important work of the Nexus Project and honored they shared my piece. We will not succeed in fighting antisemitism if we neglect the struggle for democracy and a society in which all Americans belong.

We're grateful that this plot was exposed before an unimaginable tragedy occurred. This demonstrates how crucial it is for us to be vigilant for extremism and hatred around us. The suspect's family saved lives by noticing the corrosive combination of his antisemitism online & stockpiling of weapons.

As Jews and fierce defenders of a pluralistic society, we must stand up to this disgusting Islamophobia, especially when it comes from members of Congress. It's wrong to direct this toxic rhetoric toward any group. And we also know that hateful speech toward one makes for a hateful society for all.

NYC 🗽 Join us 6/29 at P&T Knitwear for a FREE talk on Jewish culture, citizenship, and American democracy with The Nexus Project's Becca Israel and Nexus Task Force Member Professor @lilacb.bsky.social on her new book, 'Who Is American? Belonging and the Question of Jewish Citizenship.' RSVP here:

Paramount executives have suggested antisemitism is a major driver of opposition to the proposed Paramount/Warner Bros. Discovery merger. That claim is unsupported by the evidence they’ve presented so far – and risks causing real harm.🧵 www.axios.com/2026/06/16/p...

Just launched a new series over at Nexus. And head to our Instagram for the first in a set of shareable posts about individual myths we'll be rolling out over the next month.

NEW: Antisemitic Myths 101 📝 We unpacked some of the most common antisemitic conspiracy theories, how they’re used as recruiting tools, and how quickly they fall apart. Read it here ⬇️

The Trump Admin continues to strip the Dept of Ed for parts by moving the Office for Civil Rights to the Dept of Justice. OCR is what protects all students, teachers and staff from discrimination. Shifting its managing department makes the office’s goals much harder to achieve; but that’s the point.

The freedom to practice our religion and the freedom from religion are essential to Jewish safety and belonging in America, says Rabbi Rachel Timoner, senior rabbi of Congregation Beth Elohim in Brooklyn. 👏 📺: No Kings concert (June 14, 2026)

As Jews, we will not be used as Trump’s excuse to deport people without due process and erode the democracy that keeps all of us safe. Free Salah Sarsour.

🧵 The Nexus Project strongly opposes an immigration judge's new deportation order against Mohsen Mahdawi. The Trump Administration’s authoritarian efforts to subvert the First Amendment and remove lawful permanent resident status should frighten everyone who values our democratic freedoms.

Any increase to the Nonprofit Security Grant Program should be welcomed. Every extra dollar helps ensure people of all faiths and beliefs gathering to pray, learn, celebrate, and mourn together can do so without fear of violence. But we still have a long way to go. 1/3

A sitting congressman took the USS Liberty conspiracy to the House floor. For decades this myth has been a top recruitment funnel into antisemitism online. What lives on 4chan and InfoWars now gets dedicated time on the House floor. Congressional leadership and members should call this out.

Flattening all opposition to (or support for) a candidate to Israeli control isn't commentary, it's conspiracy. Removing agency from voters is a tool to prevent good faith discussion & debate. And dismissing concern about antisemitism as purely a product of Israeli influence is itself antisemitic.

We are disgusted that Boulder SJP chose to celebrate the firebombing attack on a peaceful march. They dress up the language to make murder sound like liberation. The reality is they are celebrating the horrific killing of an 82-year-old woman who came out to march. Nothing excuses this.

There are a few really frustrating narratives about the Israel Day Parade in NYC. 1) Conflating support for Jews with support for Israel is wrong. Full stop. Saying a lack of participation in a parade for Israel is akin to a lack of support for Jews is its own variation of the dual loyalty trope.

I really appreciate that I was able to work for a Department of Education office that GOT THIS in a deep, meaningful way.

"If these hatreds rise together, feeding on conspiracy theories and the politics of fear, they cannot be defeated apart," writes @open-society.bsky.social's @nowrojeeosf.bsky.social in a must-read op-ed on how anti-Muslim hate and antisemitism are twin crises that must be confronted together.

Today marks one year since the horrific, deadly arson attack at the Run For Their Lives event in Boulder, Colorado. We remember Karen Diamond, who was fatally injured by the murderous attacker, and we honor all those who were harmed and the community who saw their worst fears come to life.

Whether it’s in the comments on an Instagram post, the replies to a post on X, or the depths of a Reddit thread, there has been a surge of antisemitic code words, memes, and conspiracies popping up. We created this guide on how to identify them.

Dehumanizing, othering language that treats part of the population as immutably other is like poison in the water. Everyone ends up drinking it and it makes all of society sick.

"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.

"This latest...suit against UCLA succumbs to the Trumpian instinct to alter the facts to fit one’s political proclivities. In this worldview, every instance of support for Palestinians or criticism of Israel is cast as antisemitic," writes UCLA professor and Nexus Task Force member David N. Myers.

Israel wasn't mentioned once in this clip. Calling a Jewish member of Congress "Israel first" over *this* is conflating Jews and Israel in a very problematic way.

"It's not just about hating people. It's about getting to undo democracy." 📺: @maddow.bsky.social on what history can teach us about antisemitism and authoritarianism (Late Night with Seth Meyers, November 2023)
