Jewish Groups Boycott Biden Administration Meeting Over Inclusion of Progressive Organizations

Several prominent Jewish organizations withdrew from a meeting with the Biden administration, citing concerns over the last-minute addition of left-wing groups.

• The boycott involved major Jewish organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel International, which objected to the inclusion of groups like IfNotNow.
• Education Secretary Miguel Cardona was forced to hold separate discussions after the initial meeting was disrupted by the boycott.
• The meeting aimed to address rising antisemitism on college campuses, but diverging views on antisemitism definitions fueled tensions.
• Progressive groups included in the meeting opposed the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, leading to further divisions.
• The administration's handling of the situation drew criticism from both boycotting organizations and some lawmakers, highlighting a deep divide within the community on how to tackle antisemitism.
