Abstract: Key Insights: Antisemitism has increased on both sides of the Atlantic, putting the democratic order in peril and feeding violent extremism. The EU led the way in the creation of a Europewide strategy to combat antisemitism in 2021, which included the creation of similar national level strategies across Europe. EU and European antisemitism coordinators/envoys met with US officials, which informed the US adoption of a national strategy to counter antisemitism that was released in May 2023, demonstrating policy transference from the EU to the US. European and US policymakers utilized the expertise of transnational advocacy networks (TANs) operating both in Europe and the US simultaneously to inform policy creation and to assist with implementing and assessing policies to address antisemitism. EU and US strategies to combat antisemitism address security concerns, radicalization, antidiscrimination, and the spread of hate speech and hate crimes both online and in-person US and EU and other European officials are working together to address antisemitism and foster Jewish life both at home and in other parts of the world.
