In New York this week, on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, we gathered not only to remember the past, but to confront the future. At Hack the Hate, it became clear that antisemitism is no longer confined to the streets or even to social media – it is being encoded into the very systems that will shape how billions of people understand the world. In the age of AI, the question is no longer just how we respond to hate, but whether we are actively shaping the systems that define truth itself.

As a startup nation, we have both the responsibility and the capability to lead this effort. Antisemitism today is more subtle, more scalable, and more dangerous – embedded in data, narratives, and algorithms. If we are not involved in building these systems, we risk allowing distorted narratives of Jewish life, Israel, and even the Holocaust to become normalized at scale. This is not only a moral challenge; it is a strategic one.

The shift we are calling for is clear: from reacting to shaping. From defending our story to ensuring it is told accurately at the source. Leadership in this moment means stepping forward – across technology, policy, and community – to ensure that the future being built reflects truth, complexity, and responsibility.
