Israeli Report Maps a $250 Million U.S. Anti-Israel Network

Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism published a study tracking roughly 20 U.S. anti-Israel organizations that it says raised more than $250 million over five years. The report describes overlapping personnel, messaging, and institutional support among groups including AMP, USCPR, National SJP, and CAIR. It is an intelligence compilation, not a criminal complaint; any legal case would require evidence of specific prohibited conduct.

• The ministry’s study tracks more than $250 million raised by roughly 20 organizations over five years.
• The report identifies an overlapping ecosystem involving AMP, USCPR, National SJP, and CAIR.
• The ministry says the network uses civil-rights and humanitarian branding to advance coordinated anti-Israel narratives and mobilization.
• The published reporting distinguishes organizational and ideological links from proof of a specific criminal violation.

The report shifts the frame from isolated protest groups to a financed and mutually reinforcing U.S. political ecosystem. Its practical significance will depend on whether the documented links can be tied to specific funding flows, common campaigns, and legally cognizable conduct rather than association alone.

NYPD data show 205 confirmed anti-Jewish hate crimes in the first seven months of 2026, up 8.5% from the same period in 2025. In July, 23 of the city’s 33 confirmed hate crimes targeted Jews, a 53.3% year-over-year increase for anti-Jewish incidents even as shootings and murders declined.

• Jews were targeted in 56.9% of New York City’s 360 confirmed hate crimes through July.
• In July alone, Jews were the targets in 23 of 33 confirmed hate crimes.
• The July anti-Jewish count rose from 15 in 2025 to 23 in 2026.

The divergence between declining violent-crime indicators and rising anti-Jewish offenses isolates antisemitism as a distinct political and public-safety failure rather than a byproduct of general disorder. The seven-month trend creates a measurable test of whether city leadership can reduce targeted incidents without obscuring their disproportionate Jewish burden.

Nonprofits requested more than $1.3 billion through the 2025 Nonprofit Security Grant Program, compared with $266 million available. More than 8,000 institutions applied and roughly 1,600 — about one in five — received funding, quantifying the protection gap confronting synagogues and other vulnerable institutions.

• Applicants sought more than $1.3 billion against $266 million in available funds.
• More than 8,000 institutions applied for the 2025 program.
• Roughly 1,600 applicants, or 20%, received awards.

The five-to-one demand ratio shows that nonprofit security policy is functioning as scarcity allocation rather than comprehensive risk mitigation. The award rate provides a concrete baseline for judging whether future appropriations keep pace with the threat environment facing Jewish institutions.

Former Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer argued that the U.S.-Israel relationship rests on mutual interests rather than sentiment or a timeless values-based bond. His intervention arrives as American debate increasingly treats alliance support as conditional and transactional, sharpening the need to identify the security, intelligence, technology, and regional benefits each side supplies.

• Dermer said alliances are sustained by mutual interests, not romanticized accounts of shared values.
• He noted that France, not the United States, was Israel’s principal strategic ally during its first 15 years.
• The argument reframes alliance durability around measurable strategic exchange rather than partisan affinity.

An interests-first defense of the alliance is more durable across electoral cycles but also more demanding: every major dispute becomes a test of concrete reciprocal value. The political contest will turn on whether supporters can keep Israel’s contributions legible while opponents recast the relationship as a unilateral American cost.
