Following the attacks of 10/7, the APA issued a disappointing statement which did not acknowledge the full reality of Jewish trauma. Members of the AJP wrote a strong rebuttal to the APA, and have subsequently strengthened the dialogue within APA in many positive ways.

This comprehensive discussion covers all bases from the past history of the APA during the Holocaust and eugenics, to the present manifestations of "new antisemitism" as Israel-phobia, with a hopeful outlook for the future and the contributions of AJP leaders within the APA.
