During the last few years, and especially during the last several months, three aspects of Anti-Semitism have especially challenged and confounded us as American Jews: distinguishing between Anti-Semitism of the right and Anti-Semitism of the left, where and how to draw a line between Anti-Semitism and criticism of the State of Israel, and the most effective ways that we as a community can respond to all these forms of Anti-Semitism.
