Last year, Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) invited black and Jewish members of the House to form the Black Jewish Congressional Caucus, which was introduced last June at the 2019 AJC Global Forum.
“Antisemitism has become a concern for French society as a whole,” said Anne-Sophie Sebban-Bécache, Director of AJC Paris. “It is not considered anymore as only the concern of Jews. We are not as alone as we could have felt in the past to fight this scourge.”
The AJC Paris study of the analysis of antisemitism in France in 2019 was conducted by IFOP, a leading polling firm, in partnership with Fondapol, a major French think tank. The survey polled 505 French Jews and 1027 French people between October 14 and November 19, 2019.

A historic United Nations report on global antisemitism was published by the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, in late 2019. It is the first-ever stand-alone human rights report dedicated solely to antisemitism. The report documents rising antisemitic violence and hate speech around the world, identifying it as a threat to Jews and as “toxic” to democratic societies.
