Dianne Lob, Chair, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, issued the following statement:

“The Conference of Presidents strongly supports the letter from 37 bipartisan Members of Congress, led by Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Don Bacon (R-NE), calling for a federal inquiry into the dissemination of the Mapping Project, created by anonymous supporters of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) Movement, as part of an effort to track, target, intimidate, and deliberately do harm to the Boston Jewish community. The map reinforces dangerous anti-Semitic tropes historically used as the basis for violence against Jews, particularly egregious as anti-Semitic incidents reach record levels across the country.
