In 2022 the level of anti-semitic speech and attacks on Jewish Americans increased to one of the highest levels ever. And the current conflict between Israel and Hamas just serves to make things worse. Although it is fine to hold or share personal viewpoints, communicating any views with hate and anti-Semitic actions is not. The Anti-defamation League works to assist Americans and especially children to better and understand and communicate their feelings more positively.
