NEW: Today, we’re excited to announce the creation of the Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research (NCAR), which will work to improve the quality of research, data, and analysis available to advance the broader mission of confronting hate and promoting Jewish safety.
Antisemitism in the U.S. is at historic levels. At the same time, the term antisemitism has been increasingly weaponized in ways that exploit Jewish suffering and fear to advance anti-democratic agendas. To address this danger, we must have a national conversation rooted in reliable and rigorous data alongside trusted analysis.
NCAR will provide those tools.

We are disgusted that Boulder SJP celebrated the firebombing attack on a peaceful march.
They dress up the language to make murder sound like liberation. The reality is they are celebrating the horrific killing of an 82-year-old woman who came to march. Nothing excuses this.
"If these hatreds rise together, feeding on conspiracy theories and the politics of fear, they cannot be defeated apart. The pernicious bargain that insists on trading in the safety of one community for the rejection of another is a false one."
@OpenSociety president Binaifer Nowrojee's op-ed in The Guardian is a MUST READ.

Today marks one year since the horrific, deadly arson attack at the Run For Their Lives event in Boulder, Colorado. We remember Karen Diamond, who was fatally injured by the murderous attacker, and we honor all those who were harmed and the community who saw their worst fears come to life.
May Karen's memory be a blessing. And may we continue to stand together against antisemitism, hatred, and violence in all its forms.
Whether it’s in the comments on an Instagram post, the replies to a post on X, or the depths of a Reddit thread, there has been a surge of antisemitic code words, memes, and conspiracies popping up.
We created this guide on how to identify them.

Dehumanizing, othering language that treats part of the population as immutably other is like poison in the water. Everyone ends up drinking it and it makes all of society sick.
"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.
"This latest...suit against UCLA succumbs to the Trumpian instinct to alter the facts to fit one’s political proclivities. In this worldview, every instance of support for Palestinians or criticism of Israel is cast as antisemitic," writes UCLA professor and Nexus Task Force member @DavidNMyersUCLA.

Israel wasn't mentioned once in this clip.
Calling a Jewish member of Congress "Israel first" over *this* is conflating Jews and Israel in a very problematic way.
Long before the violence on the night of May 21, 2025, Jews were feeling vulnerable and scared. Antisemitism and extremist hate have skyrocketed over the past years, and this attack represented the dangerous escalation of increasingly normalized bigotry that threatens Jewish safety and undermines the very fabric of our democracy. It remains critical that all communities and vulnerable minorities stand together, across lines of difference, to condemn violence, combat hate, and oppose all efforts to polarize and divide us against one another.
May the memory of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim continue to be a blessing.
We at Nexus mourn the passing of Barney Frank, a champion of democracy, civil rights, and the LGBTQ+ community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and everyone who benefitted from his trailblazing work.

Everyone deserves safety and dignity.
The answer to extremist violence is solidarity across communities and a clear rejection of all forms of hatred, dehumanization, and political violence.
The manifestos that appear to have been written by the shooters at the Islamic Center of San Diego are a horrifying reminder that extremist ideologies are deeply interconnected.
Combating Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of hate requires understanding this broader ecosystem of extremism. 🧵

We cannot effectively fight hatred against Jews while ignoring attacks on Muslims, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, or women. These ideologies are connected and isolating ourselves from these other fights makes fighting for our own safety harder.
Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
We join the community in mourning the murdered victims, including security guard Amin Abdullah, whose life was brutally taken as he defended the house of worship and the young children at the school inside.
May their memories be a blessing.
We are also deeply disturbed by the anti-Muslim rhetoric and Nazi imagery found in the suspect's car.
And, as in so many times in the past, it is a reminder that our destinies are tied together: those who target Muslims often hate Jews and vice versa. Coalitions are not just an ideal; they are a necessity for all our safety.
Hateful ideologies have deadly ends. We must work together to stamp them out, lest they fester and metastasize into devastating attacks like this.
This is horrifying. Our hearts are with the Clairemont community and everyone waiting to find out if their loved ones are okay.

It can be easy to pass these off as "just tweets" but we can't allow ourselves to normalize government accounts posting this kind of rhetoric.
When government agencies blur the line between religious doctrine and state power while promoting white nationalist slogans, minority communities pay the price first.
The Trump administration seems hell bent on breaking the wall between church and state.
As Jews and advocates for a strong, pluralistic democracy, we MUST call out this exclusionary, dangerous rhetoric.
This is the same account that regularly posts white nationalist references and dog whistles. Recall their overt references to the antisemitic and eugenic “Which Way, Western Man?” and white nationalist rally song “We’ll Have Our Home Again.”
