Shining a light on antisemitism: raising up voices, monitoring trends, providing educational resources and countering Jew-hatred wherever it exists.

[The Orly Project @OrlyProject]

Conspiracism and antisemitism go lying hand in hateful glove. Mutating, resilient and with an internal logic that makes it wearying to fight.

Education can allow us to spot and expose them to others. Here's our graphics on some we've commonly seen. #antisemitism

Today is the 78th anniversary of the Wannsee Conference

This is where Reinhard Heydrich announced plans for the Final Solution to the Jewish question: The Holocaust.

While they drank fine wines and smoked cigars, the Nazis discussed annihilating Jewish men, women & children.

"Antisemitism is a phenomena that happened all over the world. It also happened in the Middle East and North Africa. It happened to my family." @henmazzig on #Farhud

850k Mizrahi Jewish ppl fled persecution from the 1940s-70s.

@JoosyJew Thank you!

@leviclancy @HenMazzig This sounds incredibly powerful. We love the name 'Museum of Ours'.

“I won’t be able to achieve pragmatic justice for my grandmother or for my family, but for me justice will mean that her story will not be forgotten.”

@henmazzig on the #Farhud - the beginning of the end for Iraq’s Jews.

@leviclancy @HenMazzig This is fascinating. We would love to hear more about your project!

[🎙️Jonny Gould’s Jewish State. Since 5 June ‘67 @jonnygouldpod]

📺 WATCH: @HenMazzig filmed by the @OrlyProject about the #Farhud pogrom of 1941, suffered by the Jews of Iraq during the festival of Shavuot.

[Judith Ornstein #Forced Out Labour antisemitism @JudithOrnstein]

Please watch this very short but powerful film. @HenMazzig talks about the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Iraq - The Farhud.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Thank you @OrlyProject for the opportunity to speak about my Iraqi Jewish family, how they became refugees and why I will never stop fighting Antisemitism.

[Heidi Bachram @HeidiBachram]

I've been on a steep learning curve on antisemitism and a lightbulb moment was learning about Mizrahi Jews.

The 850k who fled Jew-hatred in the Middle East opened my eyes wide to the existence of antisemitism outside Europe. Thank you @henmazzig for sharing your painful story.

Thread: Meet Hela, my grandmother, loving, generous, caring Jewish mother of 12. She think that she is 93 y/o, but when she was forced out of Iraq her official documents were taken and over the years she didn’t celebrate her birthday and forget the exact date she was born...

[Rachel Riley MBE 💙 @RachelRileyRR]

I’m proud that whatever’s being chucked at us, we still find a way to laugh. And however much we agree, we still find a way to disagree! Jewish humour, curiosity and humanity always.

And beigels. Obviously the beigels!!! 😋

Watch this 2 minute video from the brilliant and strong Ben Freeman.

What could LGBT pride teach Jews about Jewish pride?

And what could solidarity with Jews do for the fight against antisemitism?

Follow Ben M Freeman on Twitter.

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

This is a refreshingly positive message.

[The Orly Project @OrlyProject]

@WoMenFightAS @BenMFreeman Not yet! Soon we hope.

[Ben M Freeman - בן מ פרימן @BenMFreeman]

I sat down with the @OrlyProject to discuss the importance of #JewishPride.

We are experiencing a global rise in antisemitism & while facing it we should stand together and say, 'I am Jewish and I am proud to be Jewish!'

What about being Jewish makes you proud?
