This is the most important Biden appointee you've never heard of.

It's a new era, we need a new envoy who will fight antisemitism with integrity — not someone like Abe Foxman who cares more about protecting the Israeli government than fighting racist extremists. #NewEraNewEnvoy

The old approach to fighting antisemitism failed to keep our community safe: Self-appointed Jewish leaders worked to silence Palestinian rights advocates, not stop violent antisemites.

Unfortunately, @POTUS' rumored contenders for the special envoy embody that outdated approach.

We need someone with integrity to hold the position of Special Envoy.

Someone who knows that neo-Nazis militias and conspiracy theorists are the real and truest threat to Jewish safety, not Palestinians and college students who criticize the Israeli government. #NewEraNewEnvoy

.@POTUS and @SecBlinken, here are our criteria for #NewEraNewEnvoy:

1⃣Understands that the fight against antisemitism is part of the fight for multiracial democracy everywhere

2⃣Committed to prioritizing the fight against racist extremists to keep all of our communities safe

Criteria for #NewEraNewEnvoy (continued)

3⃣Will not conflate criticism of Israeli policies with antisemitism

4⃣Has a proven track record of working with the community to get things done.
