CPAC is proud to introduce its latest issue-based center, the CPAC Center to Combat Antisemitism.
CPAC has long been a supporter of a close U.S.-Israel relationship and Israeli independence. When pro-Hamas protests broke out on college campuses, CPAC was one of the few organizations to publicly condemn the protests and called for the defunding of universities that allowed antisemitic activities. When big corporations like Amazon, Target, and Starbucks made major donations to the antisemitic Black Lives Matter Inc., CPAC petitioned for the leaders of these corporations to immediately disavow and cut off their support of Black Lives Matter groups.
At CPAC in DC 2025 and this year’s International Summit, we welcomed Israeli Minister for the Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, who spoke on the importance of U.S.-Israel relations and Israel winning the war with Hamas. We also welcomed family members of Israeli hostages at CPAC in DC 2025. They shared the horrific truth of Hamas and the threat the Israeli people face from terrorist groups.
The CPAC Center to Combat Antisemitism is a natural addition to the work CPAC already does to end hate and bigotry. In the coming weeks, CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp and CPAC Senior Fellow Mercedes Schlapp will be speaking at the International Conference on Combatting Antisemitism hosted by Minister Chikli in Israel where they will send the message of solidarity between the American conservative movement and Israel.
