THE WEEK'S BIG 3
A new ADL survey measuring antisemitic attitudes across Europe found that some of the most stubborn anti-Jewish stereotypes remain deeply entrenched in ten European countries. Nearly four-and-a-half years after the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh took the lives of 11 Jewish worshippers, testimony in the jury trial of the accused white supremacist gunman began on Tuesday. Last week, the White House released “The U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism,” a groundbreaking 60-page plan shaped with key recommendations from ADL. The Biden Administration hopes the strategy will act as a catalyst to combat the nation’s rise in antisemitic attacks.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.

‘Now the Hard Work Begins’: ADL Chief on Biden’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism
“No figure in the U.S. Jewish establishment has been more associated with combating antisemitism in recent times than Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. He has repeatedly stressed the need to combat antisemitism with the full force of the federal government and with total buy-in from every part of society. However, he has also drawn the wrath of progressives who claim he has conflated criticism of Israel with antisemitism, putting a disproportionate focus on antisemitism from the left compared to far-right extremism and white supremacy.” Haaretz:

I chatted with @Acosta about the new @WhiteHouse strategy — I’ve never seen anything like it. @POTUS has elevated the fight against #antisemitism to other national priorities like combating climate change or economic inequality. But now they must deliver on their commitments.
