Written by AEN’s @MiriamElman and Raeefa Shams, this article addresses how the Abraham Accords could be harnessed to counter antisemitic discourses outside of the Middle East region. mdpi.com/2077-1444/13/1…@Religions_MDPI@MDPIOpenAccess

AEN is deeply dismayed at and disgusted over the “Boston Mapping Project,” an anonymous online resource and organizing tool launched on June 3, 2022, which explicitly targets scores of Jewish institutions throughout the Boston area and across the state of Massachusetts.
The Project identifies Jewish nonprofits, social-service organizations, philanthropic foundations, synagogues, and schools for their purported ties to the media, law enforcement, and other government agencies engaged in “U.S. imperialism” and the “colonization of Palestine.”
