Enough Is Enough: A Plan for Action

Please see my new article in The Times of Israel called "Enough Is Enough: A Plan for Action."

Supporters of Hamas have intensified a disturbing campaign of hatred and intimidation, targeting Jewish communities with hateful protests and violent threats. These actions seek not only disruption but the normalization of antisemitism and provocation of violence, exploiting legal protections and testing society’s resilience. Public officials’ inadequate responses risk legitimizing such hateful behavior, highlights the urgent need for decisive action. To confront this crisis, we must implement a comprehensive six-point strategy:

1. Strengthen laws and protections for targeted communities, enforcing hate crime and civil rights statutes and defamation laws.
2. Ensure venue-appropriate security for Jewish institutions and empower law enforcement to act swiftly and without political interference.
3. Hold individuals and public figures accountable for propagating antisemitism under the guise of political critique.
4. Counter misinformation and hate through accurate media reporting, education, and strategic communication campaigns.
5. Secure digital platforms by dismantling coordinated hate campaigns, bot networks, and stopping financial incentives for hate profiteers.
6. Strengthen community resilience through training, education on antisemitism, interfaith dialogue, cross-community alliances, and robust monitoring and reporting systems.

Good people can no longer remain silent as this dangerous tide of hate rises—we must confront it now with clarity, courage, and resolve to safeguard our future.
