StandWithUs UK launches online hub to combat 7 October denial and misinformation
A fundraising campaign on 11 December will help education charity 'shape a future rooted in empathy, awareness and action'
StandWithUs UK has launched an online education centre to tackle the rise in antisemitism, denial and misinformation following the 7 October 7 attack.
The launch of the 7/10 learning hub will be marked by a 12-hour emergency fundraising appeal on 11 December.
StandWithUs UK said it “recognised the urgent need to educate and empower students, young professionals, and communities across the UK by providing accurate information, resources, and tools to confront these challenges effectively.”
The centre seeks to promote awareness and understanding of the ongoing conflict but “echo the stories of those who survived and the memory of those who tragically lost their lives. By addressing denial and ensuring the truth is upheld, the centre plays a vital role in fostering a well-informed and resilient community.”-
Rene Anisfeld, chair of StandWithUs UK, said: “Despite being just a year away from the brutal 7/10 attacks, denials are already widespread. We are committed to exposing these falsehoods and ensuring the truth is heard.”
Yehuda Fink, the organisation’s director of education, said: “This centre is not just about preserving history—it’s about shaping a future rooted in empathy, awareness, and action. On campuses, it empowers students to confront denial and ensure the memory of October 7th is respected and represented with integrity.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
