In the wake of a cease-fire agreement between Israel and Hamas—the Iranian-backed terrorist group that embarked on a campaign of terror indiscriminately targeting Israeli civilians—the world is witnessing a dramatic surge in physical, verbal and online attacks against Jews. Not only must international interlocutors be vigilant in holding Hamas accountable for the violence and trauma it has inflicted on Israelis, but elected officials, religious leaders, popular culture figures and others must publicly condemn the resurgent anti-Semitism. B’nai B’rith International remains steadfast in our support of Israel and the global Jewish community, and we encourage you to join us in this effort and take action.
