What it reported doing in 2024

Understanding the challenge========================since its inception, standwithus professionals have recognized that the same antisemitic propaganda promoted on college campuses is also appearing in high schools, middle schools, and communities worldwide, all with the same destructive goals. These efforts seek to foster animosity toward israel and its supporters, leading to calls for boycotts and punishments targeting israel alone. (continued on schedule o)examples of these relentless campaigns include:-boycotts and divestment campaigns targeting only israel-rallies supporting hamas terrorism or calling for violence against israelis-promotion of misinformation about israel and jews-holocaust denial and holocaust inversion (accusing jews of being nazis)these racist tactics threaten not only jewish people and israel but also non-jewish individuals who support israel.educational events and materials for students and communities====================================================for 24 years, standwithus has been educating and inspiring people of all ages about israel and combating antisemitism. The same strategies and tools used on college campuses are implemented in communities throughout the U.S.standwithus supports community members in many ways:-funding events and educational programs-producing publications and films in multiple languages-hosting conferences, film screenings, and discussions-providing expert speakers and interactive workshopsstudent leadership programs-emerson fellowship: a year-long leadership program for college students across the u.s.
