Addressing Antisemitism
Since our founding, Parents for Peace has seen how antisemitism often connects otherwise very different extremist ideologies. After October 7, 2023, we saw a sharp rise in antisemitism both in the cases we handle and across society.
​
We focus on antisemitism because it is one of the oldest forms of hate and a persistent driver of extremism. When antisemitism rises, other forms of hate and violence often follow. It appears across the ideological spectrum—from far-right and far-left movements to jihadist groups and conspiracy networks—and often serves as a “gateway ideology” that can unite otherwise different extremist actors.
​
By confronting antisemitism directly, Parents for Peace stands with Jewish communities while strengthening prevention efforts overall—disrupting radicalization earlier, protecting targeted communities, and supporting families facing extremism in all its forms.
70% of Parents for Peace helpline cases in 2025 contained antisemitic components (across different ideologies)

Our Solution
We are building a program to empower parents to recognize and disrupt radicalization early. This initiative will explore how antisemitism connects extremist ideologies and functions as a psychological addiction that offers belonging at the cost of truth, safety, and humanity. Our goal is to replace hate with resilience, education, and connection.
