Elan Carr: U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism

It may not be widely known, but the U.S. government has an Office to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, which is part of the Office of Religion and Global Affairs (S/RGA) at the United States Department of State. The government office that focuses on antisemitism “advocates U.S. policy on antisemitism both in the United States and internationally, develops and implements policies and projects to support efforts to combat antisemitism.”
 
Currently, the office is headed by Elan Carr (pictured), an attorney of mixed Sephardi and Ashkenazi Jewish background. Carr was appointed by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. As of this writing, it is not clear whether he will continue to serve as part of the Biden administration.
 
Quote: “This is a global problem. And just as in Europe and in the Middle East, anti-Semitism has three sources. The ethnic supremacist far-right, the anti-Zionist far-left, and radical Islam. Three groups that should hate each other more than they hate anything else on Earth. And yet, mysteriously, are united by their hatred of the Jewish people.”
