The Rise of Antisemitism Post October 7th

Liora Rez:

Liora Rez is the Executive Director of StopAntisemitism. A child refugee from the former Soviet Union where antisemitism was rampant, Rez was all too familiar with its dangers. In 2018, in response to an alarming rise of antisemitic incidents, StopAntisemitism was founded to hold antisemites accountable for their actions. StopAntisemitism takes the fight to the bad actors – exposing them online, on college campuses, in corporations, in government, and anywhere else they are empowered.

Rez has engineered StopAntisemitism’s modern approach to combatting antisemitism. Using her expertise in digital marketing, Rez harnessed the power of social media to create a vast network of activists who work together to identify and create consequences for those who perpetuate antisemitic tropes, engage in inciteful antisemitic rhetoric, and commit antisemitic acts.

In just 6 years, StopAntisemitism’s reach has expanded to nearly half a billion people monthly, and its activism has resulted in the arrests of dangerous antisemitic attackers, expulsion of antisemitic students, the firing of antisemitic employees, the public embarrassment of antisemitic political activists, and more.
