In the midst of seismic global developments, mounting challenges in the United States, and the surge in antisemitism, please join us for a conversation with AJC CEO David Harris, one of the Jewish world’s leading experts on global trends.
In Philadelphia, Jews and Latinos gathered as we do annually to commemorate the victims, though this year, due to the pandemic, the ceremony organized by the AJC Philadelphia Latino-Jewish Coalition was conducted virtually. We read the names of each victim, said prayers, and again called out for justice. To this day, not one perpetrator of the horrific attack has been convicted.
Consistency and consequences. This was my clarion call to American Jewish Committee (AJC) as I sat on a panel with U.S. State Department Special Envoy Elan Carr at the AJC Global Forum in Washington, D.C., in 2019.
From Washington, the issue of American leadership – much in the news these days in the wake of President Trump’s recent interactions with counterparts in Europe and the Middle East – has a distinctly abstract air.
President Trump’s precedent-breaking decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and his further steps to demonstrate Washington’s close alignment with Israel have raised Republicans’ hopes this year of eating into Democrats’ traditional advantage among Jewish voters.
