Sharansky: Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it his business to demonize Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish background to cast Ukraine as the Nazis.
The White House antisemitism plan said that it acknowledges IHRA as the main definition of antisemitism but also acknowledged the existence of other definitions.
The forum, hosted by the global coalition Combat Antisemitism Movement, also included former US Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Elan Carr.
Sharansky’s personal journey reflects that of the Jewish people, and the centrality of Israel in his life and Jewish identity mirrors the experiences of so many Jews around the world.
The campaign will be integrated into existing Momentum programs like the Momentum Fellowship and the Momentum Yearlong Journey.
