   American Psychological Association Rejects House Report on Antisemitism

   The American Psychological Association (APA) has rejected the findings of a US House report accusing the organization of fostering systemic antisemitism. The congressional investigation claims APA leadership repeatedly failed to confront Jew-hatred, dismissed concerns from Jewish members, and allowed political ideology to influence leadership. In response, the APA president and CEO stated the organization unequivocally condemns antisemitism and has conducted listening sessions with Jewish psychologists. The APA denies the report's claims that it brushed off complaints or accommodated anti-Israel activists.

   Why it matters

   The APA is the leading professional organization for psychologists in the US, representing 190,000 members. House Republicans based their accusations on internal emails to argue that antisemitism was tolerated within the group. This conflict highlights tensions over how professional associations handle political ideology and ethnic hatred.
