The Nexus Project

NEW: Today, we’re excited to announce the creation of the Nexus Center for Antisemitism Research (NCAR), which will work to improve the quality of research, data, and analysis available to advance the broader mission of confronting hate and promoting Jewish safety. Antisemitism in the U.S. is at historic levels. At the same time, the term antisemitism has been increasingly weaponized in ways that exploit Jewish suffering and fear to advance anti-democratic agendas. To address this danger, we must have a national conversation rooted in reliable and rigorous data alongside trusted analysis. NCAR will provide those tools. jta.org/2026/01/29/uni…

Long before the violence on the night of May 21, 2025, Jews were feeling vulnerable and scared. Antisemitism and extremist hate have skyrocketed over the past years, and this attack represented the dangerous escalation of increasingly normalized bigotry that threatens Jewish safety and undermines the very fabric of our democracy. It remains critical that all communities and vulnerable minorities stand together, across lines of difference, to condemn violence, combat hate, and oppose all efforts to polarize and divide us against one another. May the memory of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim continue to be a blessing.

We at Nexus mourn the passing of Barney Frank, a champion of democracy, civil rights, and the LGBTQ+ community. Our thoughts are with his family and friends, and everyone who benefitted from his trailblazing work. jta.org/2026/05/20/obi…

Everyone deserves safety and dignity. The answer to extremist violence is solidarity across communities and a clear rejection of all forms of hatred, dehumanization, and political violence.

We cannot effectively fight hatred against Jews while ignoring attacks on Muslims, people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ people, or women. These ideologies are connected and isolating ourselves from these other fights makes fighting for our own safety harder.

The manifestos that appear to have been written by the shooters at the Islamic Center of San Diego are a horrifying reminder that extremist ideologies are deeply interconnected. Combating Islamophobia, antisemitism and all forms of hate requires understanding this broader ecosystem of extremism. 🧵 cbsnews.com/news/san-diego…

Our hearts break with each new emerging detail from the deadly, hate-fueled shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego. We join the community in mourning the murdered victims, including security guard Amin Abdullah, whose life was brutally taken as he defended the house of worship and the young children at the school inside. May their memories be a blessing. We are also deeply disturbed by the anti-Muslim rhetoric and Nazi imagery found in the suspect's car. And, as in so many times in the past, it is a reminder that our destinies are tied together: those who target Muslims often hate Jews and vice versa. Coalitions are not just an ideal; they are a necessity for all our safety. Hateful ideologies have deadly ends. We must work together to stamp them out, lest they fester and metastasize into devastating attacks like this.

This is horrifying. Our hearts are with the Clairemont community and everyone waiting to find out if their loved ones are okay. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/l…

It can be easy to pass these off as "just tweets" but we can't allow ourselves to normalize government accounts posting this kind of rhetoric. When government agencies blur the line between religious doctrine and state power while promoting white nationalist slogans, minority communities pay the price first.

This is the same account that regularly posts white nationalist references and dog whistles. Recall their overt references to the antisemitic and eugenic “Which Way, Western Man?” and white nationalist rally song “We’ll Have Our Home Again.”

The Trump administration seems hell bent on breaking the wall between church and state. As Jews and advocates for a strong, pluralistic democracy, we MUST call out this exclusionary, dangerous rhetoric.

This should be a wake up call. No one deserves to be on the receiving end of such bigotry. The normalization of antisemitic conspiracies and hatred in our politics has reached a fever pitch. Everyone needs to do their part in identifying and calling out anti-Jewish hatred, no matter the source. axios.com/2026/05/18/ant…

Along with William Paul saying Jews would be to blame if Thomas Massie loses his race, a recent ad by Restore Freedom PAC put a rainbow Star of David behind Paul Singer's image, which was not present for any non-Jewish subject in the ad. 2/2 lgbtqnation.com/2026/05/he-is-…

This is incredibly disturbing, and the second time this week that blatant antisemitism has been directed at Paul Singer over his political giving. 1/2 notus.org/congress/willi…

AOC named what's happening correctly. Too many people are willing to launder white nationalist, antisemitic rhetoric as long as the speaker opposes Israel. The result is a larger audience for Tucker Carlson, Greene, and the people moving in their direction.

These cynical partnerships only serve to grant a larger, more diverse audience to far-right agitators spreading white nationalist ideologies. This opportunity is then exploited by Carlson and his ilk as a recruitment pipeline, with opposition to Israel as the entry point.

THREAD 🧵 Last week, AOC said she doesn’t trust Marjorie Taylor Greene – a documented bigot and antisemite and Islamophobe – on what’s good for Jews or Palestinians. In a bizarre twist, a wave of left-wing figures came at AOC, but not Greene. They're telling on themselves.
