Support bold steps to combat antisemitism. Support CAEF’s projects: education, research, advocacy, information, webinars, rallies with allies, demonstrations. We will continue to hold our senior governments accountable and demand action.
Stand with Zionists! Stand with Israel!
Victory, Justice for Jews, and Peace.
CAEF extends greetings to the Jewish world, wishing all a safe, prosperous, healthy, joyful year. We extend greetings to our non-Jewish friends and allies with heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support.
2024 has been like no other year since pre-WWII. We see the struggle in Israel for safety and peace; here and abroad, we struggle against hatred and antisemitism. It often feels like the world has abandoned the Jewish people, that governments, NGOs, faith leaders, media, and other influencers, blame Israel for every evil and ignore the truth.
However, we stand strong, we stand together, we are an ancient people with a mission--to bring light unto the world. Let this year bring light and goodness into everyone’s lives.
Together we will mark October 7th with our community, remembering the tragedies, never forgetting our hostages that must be released; celebrating our heroes and Israeli resilience; looking to the future with hope and pride.

Project: Names 7.10
Blogger and artist Faina Kolodnaya along with editor Vladimir Zimin have completed a joint project in Israel, called "Names 7.10" to commemorate the anniversary of the Hamas, Palestinian Jihad massacre in Israel on October 7, 2023. They have collected over 900 names and photos of those murdered on that terrible day. The goal of the film is to show the world the faces of the beautiful lives that were lost on 10/7/23 and the loss we mourn. There are multiple translations of the film in Hebrew, English, French, etc.
The film can be used as a volunteer project at memorial ceremonies, in libraries, in schools and on university campuses. The authors give rights to use the film to commemorate the tragic loss of innocent lives during the barbaric massacre.
If you can help distribute in your community please do so.
For more information or access to the film in other languages, email directly to the producer Faina Kolodnaya: iamfain@gmail.com
Success Breeds Success, Meet Yoseph Haddad
by Charles Cooke
Yoseph Haddad is an Arab Israeli influencer, a journalist, activist, founder and CEO of 'Together – Vouch for Each Other', an NGO that brings Arabs and Jews together. He is an example of a successful Arab who served in the IDF. Yoseph speaks truth and urges the West to do likewise. Here is what he said on X this past week.
Israel has been under an unrelenting attack on 7 fronts for a year. Enough!! No one did anything to stop over 8500 rockets fired by Hezbollah into Israel for over a year.
Now it’s time to put an end to it! This is not escalation! That happened nearly a year ago by Hamas on October 7 and by Hezbollah on October 8.
Too many in the West, too many shake their fingers and call on Israel for a ceasefire now! With whom? On what terms? For what purpose? So Hamas and Hezbollah can rise and attack Israel again?
I ask the UN and Western governments, Where were you a year ago? Hamas has not even been condemned by the UN and Hezbollah barely gets a mention. What Israel is now doing is called self-defense. The invasion of Lebanon is what self-defense looks like since Hezbollah has shot hundreds of rockets into Israel since October 8, 2023!
The ultimate irony: Many militaries, secret services, intelligence services and domestic security services of the West will come running to Israel when all this ends to learn best practices on how to fight terrorism, apply intelligence analysis in real time, and effectively fight in urban warfare settings and asymmetric wars.
Is this hypocrisy of Western political elites? Appeasement of evil never works!
Lebanon is not destroyed, to the contrary... Lebanon is being freed You are welcome.
