HO:PE is a European Commission-funded project that focuses on creating and implementing tools for tackling antisemitism online, hate crimes, and harmful content. Its components, which include a browser extension and a mobile application, aim to make reporting antisemitic content quick and effective, allowing users to report incidents with just a few clicks. HO:PE is designed to support Jewish communities in all 27 EU member states to tackle the growing threat of antisemitism online. This tool will facilitate the documentation and reporting of antisemitic incidents, thereby empowering Jewish communities and civil society organizations to respond more effectively to online hate.

Networks Overcoming Antisemitism (NOA) offers a pioneering approach to tackling rising antisemitism in Europe. Building on the success of an earlier initiative, which concluded in 2023, major European Jewish networks have renewed their commitment to NOA, aiming to expand the project’s positive systemic impact by (1) Holding governments accountable by producing National Report Cards (NRC) based on the EU Council Declaration. These serve as benchmarking tools to aid in the development and implementation of National Action Plans. (2) Equipping educators across sectors—including education, public authorities, community and cultural institutions, and youth work—with training and teaching tools to counter antisemitic prejudice effectively. (3) Highlighting Jewish contributions to an inclusive Europe through a systematic and interactive communications strategy that improves and expands on existing NOA tools.
