Nexus Project
criteria aiming to distinguish criticism of Israel from antisemitism
The Nexus Project is an American non-profit organization dedicated to combating antisemitism through education, advocacy, and policy implementation. It focuses on promoting effective government action against antisemitism while fostering unity and inclusion. It opposes the use of accusations of antisemitism as a political tool to stifle criticism of Israel. The Nexus Project consists of two main components: the Nexus Leadership Project and the Nexus Task Force.
Nexus Leadership Project
The Nexus Leadership Project, created in January 2024, engages with American civic and political leaders and decision-makers to enhance understanding of antisemitism, particularly where it intersects with Israel-related issues. Its primary activities include educational outreach to policymakers and advocacy for comprehensive strategies to combat antisemitism.
Nexus Task Force
The Nexus Task Force, created in November 2019, analyzes issues at the intersection of Israel and antisemitism. The task force has published the Nexus Document, described as "a resource designed for policymakers and community leaders, aiming to enhance their understanding of the issues that intersect at the nexus of antisemitism, Israel, and Zionism". It has also published the Nexus White Paper, "Understanding Antisemitism at its Nexus with Israel and Zionism"; the Nexus "Guide to Identifying Antisemitism in Debates about Israel"; and "A Campus Guide to Identifying Antisemitism in a Time of Perplexity".
In September 2020, over 100 Jewish leaders sent a letter to Joe Biden to draw his attention to the resources available on the "Israel & Antisemitism: Policy at the Nexus of Two Critical Issues" website.

Why this record matters
The phrase “criteria aiming to distinguish criticism of Israel from antisemitism” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 30, 2026.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
