White House introduces comprehensive national plan to combat antisemitism.

President Joe Biden unveiled a four-pronged "whole of society" plan to combat antisemitism, which includes increasing awareness and understanding of antisemitism and Jewish American heritage, improving safety and security for Jewish communities, countering antisemitic discrimination, and building cross-community solidarity. The plan also calls for increased education about the Holocaust and antisemitism in schools, and for tech companies to establish a zero-tolerance policy for hate speech on their platforms. The administration will also work with professional sports leagues to raise awareness about antisemitism. The plan was met with widespread praise from Jewish advocacy groups, but some criticized the inclusion of a secondary definition of antisemitism.
