The Center for Antizionism Education provides educational and strategic support to institutions, groups, and leaders who recognize that discrimination against Jews and Israelis is not abstract. It is current, escalating, and requires a direct, contemporary response.
Center for Antizionism Education

How to Fight Antizionism
This training gives an introduction to antizionism as a contemporary form of Jew hatred, placing what Jews and Israelis are experiencing today within its historical context. We offer practical tools to directly confront and combat antizionist hate by directing our attention at its perpetrators, naming the cycle of libel, and setting boundaries that protect ourselves and our community.
