On the image above, Rodney Muhammad, the President of the Philadelphia chapter of the NAACP civil rights organization, posted an atrocious antisemitic image on his Facebook page on July 23. The image included a quote falsely attributed to French philosopher Voltaire and a caricature frequently used by white supremacists called "the Happy Merchant" depicting a hook-nosed man in a kippah rubbing his hands together. The offensive caricature was posted alongside photos of Ice Cube, DeSean Jackson and Nick Cannon, all of whom recently also posted antisemitic comments on their social media.

In his new article, We Must Act Now to Fight Antisemitism, Adam presents a transformative approach to fight antisemitism and protect America’s future. Rather than waiting for Jew-hatred to chase us, he calls for unified action that goes on the offensive against the looming threat.

Adam elaborates on his approach in Jews Must Be the Brave Eagle, Not the Sacrificial Canary in the Battle Against Antisemitism. To combat Jew hatred, we must stop being reactive and look over the horizon to detect threats before they occur. The future of America, American Jewry, and the civilized world order depends on how we reposition ourselves to win this fight.
