Abstract
The article by Walker et al. (2025) titled "The American Psychological Association and Antisemitism: Toward Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion" regrettably suffers from serious shortcomings in regard to scholarship. These include flawed analyses, an overreliance on unreliable and biased sources, and the presentation of provocative and significant claims without any documentation at all. There is no question that deep fears about resurgent antisemitism are legitimate and deserving of dedicated attention. However, as summarized here, on multiple fronts, this article fails to accurately illuminate these risks. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
