Introducing The 10/7 Project

Leading Jewish organizations, including the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA), the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, have come together to form The 10/7 Project. This initiative is a new centralized communications operation focused on ensuring accurate information about the Israel-Hamas conflict is provided to policymakers and the American public.

Why It Matters

The collaboration of these major groups is unprecedented, reflecting the seriousness with which American Jewry views the current climate of misinformation and its impact on Israel and Jewish communities worldwide. The effort aims to correct the narrative, uphold bipartisan support for Israel, and address the spread of antisemitism linked to skewed portrayals of the conflict.

The Goals of The 10/7 Project

The 10/7 Project plans to counteract misinformation by uplifting the stories of innocent victims, clarifying facts about the war, and reminding the public about the hostages still held in Gaza. It seeks to be a reliable source of truth against the backdrop of false narratives propagated by Hamas and its supporters.

Response to the Media

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt criticized mainstream media outlets for perpetuating Hamas-driven misinformation, which has led to a surge in antisemitic incidents. The project’s executive director, Josh Isay, emphasized the need for journalistic fairness in covering the Israel-Hamas conflict and rising antisemitism.

Project Launch and Daybook

With its launch, The 10/7 Project is introducing a daily newsletter, The 10/7 Project Daybook, to keep subscribers informed. The project asserts its nonpartisan stance, neither endorsing nor opposing any political candidates.

Countering the Narrative

News organizations like MSNBC and The New York Times have faced criticism for their reporting on the Israel-Hamas war, which has often echoed Hamas’ misleading statements. The 10/7 Project aims to prevent such biased narratives from influencing public opinion and endangering communities.

On the Ground Impact

The 10/7 Project’s website features a running tally of hostages in Gaza, bringing attention to their plight and the actions of Hamas. This initiative is part of the broader effort to inform and correct misinformation circulating in the media landscape.
