Avi Benlolo responds to New York Times columnist Bret Stephens, who suggested in a recent address that the Jewish community should cease its financial efforts to combat antisemitism. Benlolo points out that such a perspective undervalues the reality of hate crimes and violence faced by Jews worldwide, citing recent attacks and the emotional toll these events take on individuals and families. He argues that dismissing the need for funding in combating antisemitism ignores the lived experiences of those affected by hate.
