Challenge stereotypes that cast Jewish people in a negative light. Many stereotypes are rooted in centuries-old myths, like those found in “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” This book, published first in a Russian newspaper in 1903, claims to be reports from meetings of Jewish leaders plotting how to take control of the world. Its outrageous assertions spread quickly throughout the world, and by the time it was proven to be fabricated from a previously published novel, the damage was done. Stereotypes took hold, and many of its claims about Jewish people still have a foothold in antisemitic beliefs today. By debunking such myths, you help prevent their perpetuation.

Show your support by patronizing Jewish-owned and Israeli businesses. Economic antisemitism is prevalent worldwide, but by choosing to shop with these businesses, you actively reject discriminatory practices and extend love and solidarity.

If you witness antisemitic harassment or discrimination, report it to authorities or relevant organizations. Your actions signal that such behavior is unacceptable and won’t be tolerated. Many organizations track these incidents and work with officials to address them.

Bias can infiltrate institutions, media, and public discourse. Challenge these biases wherever you encounter them. Write to media outlets, educational institutions, or government representatives to express your concerns and advocate for fair treatment of Jewish communities.

Use your vote to support candidates and policies that prioritize combating antisemitism and fostering positive relations with Jewish communities and those candidates who support Israel’s right to exist and defend itself. Informed voting is one of the most direct ways to influence societal change.
