A senior AJC leadership delegation just concluded a three-day visit to Israel.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) welcomed the Biden administration’s release of the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. The National Strategy is the first whole-of-government approach in the United States to counter antisemitism in its multiple and distinct forms and comes as studies by AJC and other Jewish organizations found an alarming rise in antisemitism and more American Jews feeling less secure.

Seeking to stop the insidious creep of antisemitism in the U.S. that threatens the Jewish community and American democracy at large, the Biden administration has unveiled the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.

In an era of rising antisemitism in the U.S. and around the world, we appreciate the clarity and urgency demonstrated by the White House in releasing its National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. We welcome the embrace of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, which is a continuation of longstanding US policy and a critical tool in the fight against anti-Jewish hate and bias. We look forward to collaborating with the White House and Congress to ensure the implementation of this National Strategy.
