Billionaire philanthropist Ronald Lauder is funding a $25 million campaign against political candidates in the United States who support or normalize anti-Semitism. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, said the Anti-Semitism Accountability Project will include a nonprofit organization and a super PAC.
The launch comes in response to a documented surge in anti-Semitism across America, according to a statement from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, which noted that 14% of Americans hold anti-Semitic beliefs, as compared to 7% from a survey released by the Anti-Defamation League in 2014.
