In 2025, FOA focused on building strong, strategic partnerships with organizations that share our mission. These partnerships helped us make the digital space safer for Jews worldwide by combining technology, advocacy, education, and emotional support into one coordinated effort.
From day one, we knew one thing clearly: we cannot fight antisemitism alone. Real change happens when we work side by side with others who are just as committed to protecting Jewish communities — both online and offline.
The Reality: Why We Can’t Fight This Alone
Online and offline antisemitism grow from the same poisoned roots. Shifting politics, extremist ideologies, and opportunistic actors create fertile ground for blame and scapegoating — and Jews are often the first target. That is why standing together is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Each organization brings its own strength: policy access, educational expertise, emotional support, grassroots activism, or technological tools. When we link those strengths, we build something much more powerful than any one group can create on its own.
From Monitoring to Movement-Building
FOA started with a focused, urgent goal: to monitor social networks, identify antisemitic content, and ensure its removal before it spreads widely. This commitment remains central to our work. In 2025, we expanded on that foundation by leveraging the tools developed with our partners to better support and empower our community.
By creating a network of organizations, experts, and volunteers, FOA helps more people recognize antisemitism, report it effectively, and support those who are on the front lines. We may not control the digital ecosystem, but together, we can navigate it more wisely, reduce the reach of hate, and strengthen the communities it targets.
The FOA Strategic Model: A Multi-Front Defense
Each partner brings a distinct strength to the table. Together, we create a multi-layered defense that is far stronger than the sum of its parts.
Technology Platforms
We work directly with major technology platforms, including TikTok, Meta, and Google, to build trust and open channels of communication about antisemitic content and anti-Jewish incitement. The goal was to turn dialogue into measurable action, and as a result, more trusted reporting pathways and stronger enforcement against content that targets Jews and Israelis. By combining our real-time monitoring with platform-level tools, we help ensure that hate speech and incitement are not only identified but also removed.
Advocacy and Policy Networks
Laws and policies often lag behind the realities of online hate. That gap gives antisemitic narratives space to grow unchecked. By working with advocacy and policy organizations such as the AJC and ECJC, FOA connects what we see on the ground with the people who shape regulations and standards.
FOA provides real-time monitoring data, case studies, and grassroots insight from activists on the front lines, and our partners provide policy expertise, institutional influence, and access to decision-makers in governments and international bodies. As a result, we have clearer reporting standards, clearer definitions, and fewer loopholes through which antisemitic content can spread without consequences.
Human Capital
Technology can detect and flag hate, but people decide to take a stand. FOA’s training fellowships and workshops empower those people. We train individuals to recognize antisemitism, even when it tries to hide; teach them to navigate complex reporting systems across multiple platforms; and equip them to counter delegitimization narratives targeting Jews and Israel. Every trained activist becomes a digital defender for their community, turning frustration into action and isolation into impact.
Emotional Resilience: Protecting the Protectors
Spending hours each day looking at antisemitic content is not just a technical task; it is an emotional burden. It is upsetting, exhausting, and, over time, can take a real toll on mental health.
Our partnership with Planetherapy acknowledges that reality. Provide psychological support to the very people who are protecting others, our volunteers and activists feel seen, supported, and better able to sustain their work over the long term. When protectors burn out, communities become more vulnerable. When protectors are cared for, everyone is safer.
Education: Understanding the World We Live In
Education is one of the most powerful tools we have in this fight. That’s why FOA partnered with The Ne’eman Academy. Ne’eman Academy‘s unique expertise lays out the real-world arena we live in. We know that knowledge is power. By understanding our surroundings, we can build stronger, more informed communities that can detect misinformation and push back against it before it hardens into hate.
A Universal Fight: Beyond the Jewish Community
Antisemitism is not “just” a Jewish issue. It is an early warning sign that something much deeper is going wrong in a society. When Jews are targeted, democratic values — free expression, equal rights, minority protections — are at risk. When Zionism is attacked as a concept, the fundamental right of the Jewish people to self-determination is questioned. By building partnerships across sectors and borders, FOA helps protect the digital public square not only for Jews, but for everyone who relies on open, safe, and honest online spaces. Antisemitism is a global crisis that demands a united, global response.
