We look forward to learning more about the MOU, including its enforcement and verification provisions, consequences for non-compliance, and how it addresses Iran’s ballistic missile and drone programs, support for terrorist proxies and other destabilizing regional activities, and the security concerns of U.S. allies and partners.

🚨New from @Conf_of_Pres: Jewish Leaders Comment on
US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding June 16, 2026, New York, NY — Betsy Berns Korn, Chair, and William C. Daroff, CEO, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement: The U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding follows a period of unprecedented strategic and military cooperation between the United States and Israel that significantly degraded Iran’s nuclear and military capabilities. We are encouraged by President Trump’s repeated and unequivocal commitment that Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon. That objective must guide any negotiations and any eventual agreement. At the same time, many important questions remain unanswered. We look forward to learning more about the memorandum, including its enforcement and verification provisions, consequences for non-compliance, and how it addresses Iran’s ballistic missile and drone programs, support for terrorist proxies and other destabilizing regional activities, and the security concerns of U.S. allies and partners. Resolving these and other issues will be essential to building a more secure, stable, and prosperous future for the region.

In a world where attacks like this are increasingly common, the need for the Jewish American Security Act is critical.

The World Wants You to Believe That Jews Are Divided. We’re Not. Since October 7, some have described the Jewish community as in turmoil. Rabbi Joanna Samuels says it’s more tight-knit than ever. thefp.com/p/the-world-wants-…

In @TheFP, Rabbi Joanna Samuels writes: "I am the leader of the largest Jewish Community Center (JCC) in New York City, and my greatest challenge post–October 7 has not been antisemitism, but rather figuring out how to keep up with the surge of people wanting to be part of our proudly Jewish institution."

Excellent data based approach to understanding what unites the Jewish community.

A 63-page indictment details how a University of Michigan group spent over a year threatening Jewish Federation officials, breaking windows, throwing acid, and discussing bombs and poisoning. Calling this a free speech issue is an insult to every victim.

The IMEU is the same group that fed Axios the now-discredited story claiming Democrats buried their post-election autopsy because it supposedly showed Kamala Harris lost due to support for Israel.

American Jews spend $750 million every year on security because antisemitism is, in fact, a real and growing problem in our society.

This “Jewish” group - JFREJ - is supporting a woman for Congress who celebrated (on 10/8) Jews being raped and killed on 10/7 and mocked hostage families.

RT @ADL: Free history lesson: "Antisemitism" wasn't coined as a catch-all term for prejudice against anyone who speaks a Semitic language.…

Notice the way that CAIR attempts to define antisemitism for the Jewish community and uses Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) for cover. Many JVP members don't even claim to be Jewish, but their name is designed to legitimize this nonsense. cair.com/press_releases/cair…

.@CityJournal asks an important question. Choosing an anti-Zionist Jewish faith liaison whose views are antithetical to 95% of Jews isn't outreach, it's tokenism.

From @axios: Iran, Russia, and China employed antisemitic symbols, graffiti, threats and online propaganda across physical and cyber domains to polarize our society and erode public trust. The article notes that this represents a broader foreign interference challenge rather than isolated incidents of extremism.

Increasingly, support for Israel has become subject to political litmus tests in some corners of Democratic politics, while antisemitism is too often excused, minimized, or ignored. Zionism did not emerge from privilege or power. It grew out of centuries of persecution, expulsions, pogroms, inquisitions, and the repeated denial of the Jewish people’s right to live safely and freely. It was never about conquest. It was about self-determination, security, and survival in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. To characterize Zionism as colonialism is to disregard both Jewish history and the reality that Jews have maintained a continuous connection to the land of Israel for thousands of years. For more than 75 years, Israelis have lived under the constant threat of terrorism, war, and those who openly seek the destruction of the Jewish state. Any honest conversation about the conflict must begin with that reality. And must also acknowledge the horrors of October 7. More than 1,200 people were murdered. Hundreds were kidnapped and taken hostage. Families were slaughtered in their homes. Men, women, children, and the elderly were brutally attacked. There are documented acts of torture, sexual violence, and unspeakable brutality. Entire families were burned alive. People were targeted not because of anything they had done, but because they were Jews and because they lived in Israel. When discussions of this conflict minimize, excuse, or ignore these atrocities, they fail to recognize the trauma that Israelis and Jews around the world continue to carry. A commitment to human rights and human dignity requires acknowledging these horrors, condemning them unequivocally, and rejecting any effort to justify or rationalize them. We can and should debate policies, governments, and leaders. But criticism of Israel that ignores Jewish history, dismisses Jewish self-determination, or holds the Jewish state to standards NOT applied to any other nation raises serious concerns. At a time when antisemitism is rising at alarming levels, we should be working to combat hatred and misinformation, not amplifying narratives that erase Jewish history, deny Jewish self-determination, or contribute to the isolation of the world’s only Jewish state! Antisemitism is antisemitism. It should never be tolerated, excused, minimized, or normalized, regardless of whether it comes from the political left, the political right, or anywhere in between. axios.com/2026/06/07/jewish-…

"A recent poll by The Jewish Majority found that 82% of New York City Jews are concerned about rising antisemitism. Sixty percent cite the mainstreaming of anti-Zionism — the belief that Israel should not exist as a Jewish state — as a major cause. And the data points directly to Mamdani: by a ratio of 3-to-1, Jewish New Yorkers believe his refusal to condemn calls to “globalize the intifada” has directly emboldened those who now regularly harass Jewish New Yorkers with terrorist organization paraphernalia."
