​Why We Take Antisemitism Seriously
At Parents for Peace, we recognize antisemitism not just as hate—but as a warning sign.
History shows that antisemitic rhetoric escalates quickly: it may begin with a slur or graffiti, but too often it ends in threats, violence, or deadly attacks.
​
Antisemitism erodes the safety of entire communities. When Jewish individuals are targeted, it signals fractured trust, growing radicalization, and a broader threat to social cohesion. It’s also a recruitment tool—used by extremist groups to mobilize, divide, and radicalize.
​
That’s why we respond to antisemitism urgently and directly—as a threat to individuals, and as an early marker of something much bigger. > Read Dr. Miri Bar-Halpern's Article
Call it early. Stop it from spreading.

We work with educators because they’re often the first to see early signs of radicalization—and the first to make a difference.

Antisemitism is a warning. Don’t ignore it.
Trust doesn’t need to be shouted to be shattered. Even silence carries weight. Contact us if you want to speak to someone about it.
