What is Smokescreen Antisemitism?
Smokescreen antisemitism is the far right’s current strategy to use antisemitism to create fear and division within our communities, while avoiding accountability for their own antisemitism.
Their plan to exploit real fears in our community is laid out in Project Esther, a blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation to dismantle democracy, expand censorship, and criminalize our Black and Brown neighbors in the name of Jewish safety.
Our movements must speak out. Our history teaches us that real safety comes from solidarity, community, and shared liberation.
It will never come from aligning with authoritarianism or abandoning our neighbors.
We implore all institutions, people of all faiths, immigration and citizenship statuses to refuse the right’s attempts to use Jewish people to disassemble democracy and to keep our coalition together to end the machinery of antisemitism, racism and fascism aiming for our freedoms.
