Extremist groups—the far left, radical Muslims, the far right, and Black supremacists—are gaining momentum in the United States. They exploit our national challenges to spread more division, more bigotry, and more antisemitism in America. We must rise to protect our communities from this tide of antisemitism.
In his new article, Defining Antisemitism as a Jewish Problem is a Lose-Lose Proposition, Adam explains why Jew-hatred is not only a Jewish problem, but it is a national problem which all Americans must engage to combat. The future of America, American Jewry, and the civilized world order depends on how we, as Jews and as Americans, reposition ourselves on the offensive to win this battle against the forces of evil.
As we continue to fight COVID-19, there are vulnerable communities that need our help. Stand By Me, a nonprofit led by Gila, provides care and services to Israeli-American cancer patients and their families in Los Angeles. This year, due to the pandemic, they are unable to hold their annual fundraising gala. Your support is needed now more than ever. Please consider donating to ensure that Stand by Me can continue fulfilling its mission and improving the lives of thousands of people.
We also invite you to watch Clarion Project's latest film, Covert Cash, which we co-produced. This film exposes what American universities don’t want you to know about their foreign funding sources and overseas influence. Foreign governments like China, Russia, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia are pouring billions of dollars into American higher education institutions to gain influence and a nefarious foothold in the United States.
Finally, learn about Students Supporting Israel, an international grassroots pro-Israel students’ movement that our foundation is proud to support. Their mission is to be a clear and confident pro-Israel voice on college campuses and to support students in pro-Israel advocacy.
With sincere love and admiration for the State of Israel and the Jewish people,
Gila and Adam Milstein

READ: Defining Antisemitism as a Jewish Problem is a
Lose-Lose Proposition

Adam Milstein's article was published in the Atlanta Jewish Times, September 2020. |

Presenting antisemitism as a Jewish problem has been a lose-lose proposition because it has not spurred effective action against Jew-hatred, neither by Jews nor by gentiles. Our thousands of years of history in the diaspora substantiates the fact Jews alone cannot defeat antisemitism. To be successful we need our American allies to fight with us, and for that to happen they need to realize antisemitism is first and utmost an American problem.
If we are serious about the threat and have the courage to stand at the forefront of this fight, time is of the essence. Our history and increasingly dangerous reality show that the inalienable rights afforded by the American Constitution cannot be taken for granted. We need to fight today against the forces of evil trying to destroy America so that tomorrow we and future generations can continue living freely and proudly. We must fly into the future as brave eagles and stop playing sacrificial canaries.

Students Supporting Israel |
|
Students Supporting Israel (SSI) is a rapidly growing pro-Israel international campus movement that supports the State of Israel. Founded at the University of Minnesota in 2012, SSI has chapters across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, and France.
Their mission is to be a clear and confident pro-Israel voice on college campuses and to support students in grassroots pro-Israel advocacy. They are committed to promoting a better understanding of Israel as a member of the family of nations, with a fundamental right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state within secure borders.
SSI is an independent, nonpartisan, grassroots campus movement that was created by students and for students to organize a strong and united pro-Israel front on college campuses.
The Milstein Family Foundation’s support of SSI enabled the organization to succeed on campuses and for the movement to grow.
MFF was one of the first supporters of SSI. The foundation has also provided SSI with tools and guidance, helping the organization to become a pillar of the pro-Israel campus community. SSI look forward to continuing their initiatives and working together to empower students to become strong and active Zionist leaders.
