The American Jewish community is a beautiful tapestry made up of individuals from many diverse backgrounds and with many ways of being Jewish. There’s no one American Jewish experience, and each unique perspective only adds to the richness of the Jewish story in America. American Jewish Committee (AJC) is proud to share our virtual stage each day with the faces of American Jewry. Watch the videos.

Terrorists firing rockets on Israel and thugs pummeling Jews in Europe and America must be condemned – no ifs, no buts. Only if we have moral clarity about the causes and sources of anti-Jewish violence can we vigorously continue down the path of fighting all forms of antisemitism.

Education is the root of the problem. Before a young man decides to become a member of a terrorist organization and then targets the civilian population of Israel, using his Palestinian neighbors as human shields, he receives an injection of radicalism and hatred at school. We have a lot of evidence for that. Why is European taxpayers' money being used to indoctrinate Palestinians with jihadist ideology and feed them with hatred? It is also the money of Polish taxpayers. The Polish authorities should take a clear position on this matter - there is no consent to finance an education system that that educates children in the spirit of admiration for terrorism.
