We don’t need another study of antisemitism

The article argues that the Jewish community has an overabundance of studies, databases, and conferences on antisemitism, rather than a shortage of information. While acknowledging the importance of historical preservation and testimony, the author contends that significant resources are being diverted to duplicative research efforts instead of direct action. The author states, "The Jewish community is not short on documentation. It is short on consequences." This misallocation of funds and attention, the article suggests, leads to "duplication at the top and starvation on the front lines," hindering effective responses to rising antisemitism. The piece calls for a shift in funding priorities towards intervention, legal action, and accountability, emphasizing that "preservation cannot become a substitute for protection, and research cannot become a refuge from action."
