In a recent event in Los Angeles, former minister of strategic affairs Ron Dermer and World Jewish Congress Israel President Sylvan Adams called for Israel to intensify its efforts against rising antisemitism. The speakers emphasized the need for Israel to leverage its intelligence, cyber, and strategic capabilities in this global struggle. They highlighted that while Israel has demonstrated its strength through military achievements against regional adversaries, similar capabilities should be directed toward combating antisemitism worldwide.
Adams stressed that the threat of antisemitism is well-funded and poses a danger to the existence of Jews globally, including the State of Israel. He underscored the importance of solidarity with Jews in the diaspora, emphasizing that this is a global war that requires a strategic response. Dermer echoed this sentiment, asserting that Israel is not the cause of antisemitism but has provided the Jewish people with the means to defend themselves. He advocated for the establishment of a dedicated war room to focus on this issue, akin to those addressing threats from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza.
Dermer also called on Jewish organizations to respond more forcefully to antisemitism, highlighting the need for resilience even when success is not guaranteed. He emphasized that adversaries must understand the consequences of targeting Jews, as Israel is committed to restoring deterrence through persistent engagement. Adams reiterated the dual responsibility and strength Israel now holds, urging a proactive stance in this ongoing battle.
In the spirit of Micah 6:8, which calls for justice, mercy, and humility, this call to action reflects a commitment to accountability and the protection of vulnerable communities. As the Jewish population in Israel approaches 50% of the global Jewish community, the responsibility to address antisemitism has become a central aspect of Israel’s role in the world.
