COMBAT Plan to Fight Antisemitism
Today, Jews and Jewish institutions are facing antisemitism with alarming frequency, and the trend is worsening: 2023 was the highest year on record for antisemitic incidents in the U.S. according to ADL’s annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. To confront this disturbing trend, ADL created the COMBAT Plan. We urgently need action at all levels of government.
Please Join Us in COMBATing Antisemitism
Antisemitism is on the rise in the United States and around the world. ADL’s 2023 Audit shows that antisemitic incidents are at a historic high with 8,873 acts of assault, harassment and vandalism in the U.S. recorded by ADL – a 140% increase from 2022 and the highest number on record since ADL began tracking antisemitic incidents in 1979.
While there is no single fix to this alarming trend, the ADL COMBAT Plan offers a comprehensive, six-part framework for elected officials and policymakers to take meaningful action to fight antisemitism:
Condemn Antisemitism
Oppose Hate and Extremism Driven by Antisemitism
Make Communities Safe from Antisemitism
Block Antisemitism Online
Act Against Global Antisemitism
Teach about Antisemitism
COMBAT calls on leaders at every level of government to condemn antisemitism, authorize and improve hate crimes laws, stop the spread of antisemitism online and protect Jewish institutions often targeted by antisemitic acts.
ADL’s Three-Pronged Approach to National Advocacy
The COMBAT plan complements ADL’s PROTECT Plan to fight domestic extremism and REPAIR Plan to address online hate. Together, these three plans – COMBAT, PROTECT and REPAIR—provide a foundation for ADL’s national advocacy agenda. ADL is mobilizing its full resources and capacities in pursuit of these comprehensive policy agendas on the international, national, state and local levels.
