Antisemitism top challenge for 78% of Jews: Israeli survey
(NewsNation) — A new Voice of the People survey among Jewish Americans found that 78% listed antisemitism as one of the top five challenges facing them today. Noa Tishby, Israel's former special envoy for combating antisemitism, told NewsNation's 'Elizabeth Vargas Reports' that antisemitism is causing fear for Jews around the world. 'As we see, antisemitism is the oldest form of hate and discrimination that's still being practiced today, and today it just shape-shifted into something new called anti-Zionism,' Tishby said. Voice of the People, an initiative backed by Israeli President Isaac Herzog, released 'The 2025 Jewish Landscape Report' on Thursday. The report included more than 10,000 people across 80 countries. Capital Jewish Museum reopens week after Israeli Embassy staffers killed Tishby said four out of five Jews globally cite antisemitism as their 'greatest concern,' and some responded they worry about 'looking too Jewish.' The report's release comes days after two Israeli embassy staffers were gunned down in Washington, D.C.. Sarah Milgram and Yaron Lischinsky were exiting the Capital Jewish Museum on May 21 when they were fatally shot from behind. The suspect yelled 'Free Palestine' as the police took him into custody, authorities said. 'I can tell you that a lot of Jews around the world are blown away by this rise in antisemitism,' Tishby said. Tishby said the research shows 'the fear is not theoretical.' 'We see that we're right to be concerned,' she said. 'What's happening right now across America should warn everybody because we've been saying this for a very long time. What starts with the Jews doesn't end with the Jews.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Noa Tishby: Antisemitism has ‘shape-shifted' into antizionism
A new Voice of the People survey among Jewish Americans found that 78% listed antisemitism as one of the top five challenges facing them today. Noa Tishby, the former special envoy to Israel for combating antisemitism, joins 'Elizabeth Vargas Reports' to discuss antisemitism and how it's causing fear for Jews around the world. 'There was an understanding that this has been settled after World War II. … But, as we see, antisemitism is the oldest form of hate and discrimination that's still being practiced today,' Tishby says. She says today it has shape-shifted into something new — antizionism. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
