This week, as the nation recovers from the Capitol siege, impeaches
the outgoing president, and prepares to inaugurate a new
commander-in-chief, examples of antisemitism continue to emerge in the
public square.

WATCH: On January 6, our democracy came under
attack. Many of the rioters proudly displayed antisemitic clothing and
emblems of conspiracy theories.

Holly Huffnagle, AJC's U.S. Director for Combating Antisemitism,
reminds us what's at stake when antisemitism becomes normalized in our
society.

Antisemitism Seen in Capitol Siege Raises Alarms

AJC CEO David Harris quoted: Not everyone who came to Washington, D.C.
to support Trump on the day of the insurrection shared extremist and
hate-fueled ideologies. But Harris, who has strongly denounced the
actions at the Capitol that day, urged those who claimed to not hold
such ideologies to ask themselves: "'Who am I enabling,
however unintentionally, and how do I channel my own protest without
being coopted by the lunatic fringe?'" (View on AP)

Fringe Groups Scatter After Facebook, Twitter Bans

[link removed]

The New York Times | 4-minute read

After Facebook and Twitter banned President Trump and his far-right
supporters, including armed militias and QAnon conspiracy theorists,
fringe groups are now organizing their next steps on less visible
encrypted messaging apps. Meanwhile, Fox News commentator Glenn Beck
likened the ban to how Germans put Jews in ghettos during World War
II. "This is the digital ghetto," he said.

AJC responds: "The constant weaponization of history's darkest

perished in the Holocaust. There's no comparison between big tech

AJC's Shabbat Table

This week, in AJC's Shabbat Table, we reflect
on how the Nile River helped shape Moses into a leader who understood
the importance of every interaction with the world around him. We
remember Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon 18 years after the launch of the
doomed space shuttle Columbia. And we provide some talking points and
resources for a discussion about far-right extremism in America.

Inside America's Far Right; Congressman
Ritchie Torres

This week, we sit down with Daniel Lombroso,
director of The Atlantic's first feature documentary, White Noise, an
inside story of the far right in America. Lombroso, who spent four
years with the leaders of white supremacist and antisemitic movements,
joins us to discuss how that period informs his perspective on the
horrific events of January 6 at the United States Capitol and the
ensuing fallout. Then, if you missed our special episode earlier this
week, freshman Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) shares his
reflections on the antisemitism, racism, and white supremacy he
witnessed on January 6; impeachment proceedings in Congress; and how
the nation can move forward. LISTEN NOW
