Mission Statement
End Jew Hatred seeks to empower and liberate Jews from centuries of persecution and discrimination. We demand a world in which Jew hatred is acknowledged to be detestable and unacceptable, just as hatred or violence against any other group: blacks, LGBTQ+ or women. We are a non-partisan civil rights movement focused solely on justice for the Jewish people.
For centuries, discrimination and oppression against women and minority groups was tolerated as an unavoidable part of life. Thanks to the tireless efforts of civil rights activists, this is no longer the case. An international conversation and change is taking place to free women and minorities from the bigotry and bad behavior which has held them back for so long. We need the same conversation about the eradication of Jew hatred now!
Jew hatred is structural and systemic, and has been a fixture of European and American society for 2,000 years. It’s time to end it.
We demand a world in which Jews can live free of discrimination, hatred, and oppression. A world in which our civil rights and human rights are protected by laws, and our inclusion in society is backed by societal consequences for those who dare violate our rights.
We demand a world in which our historical victimhood and minority status is acknowledged, our value as a people is recognized and empowered by a society that accepts us – and those who preach or practice hate against us are punished with stiff legal and societal consequences. We have been falsely cast as white oppressors, despite suffering centuries of persecution and violence at the hands of white supremacists – which persists to this day.
We seek to decolonize Jewish identity and reclaim what it means to be a Jew for ourselves. For centuries, Jewish culture and identity have existed in Christian and Islamic worlds that hated and oppressed us. Unable to tell our own story, we were seen only through Christian or Muslim eyes. We have an opportunity to express an authentic Jewish culture devoid of external influences. Only by reclaiming our own narrative power can we achieve liberation from second class status. On campus that means refusing to allow Jew hating faculty or activists, often funded by foreign powers, to spread poisonous lies about our community that indoctrinate the next generation to hate. We demand the end of corrupt foreign influence that perverts our history, religion and culture, and demand that Jews receive the space to speak about and define our own lived experience.
