History edit
In 2021, Belarusian state-linked media accused the Union and other Jewish organizations in Belarus of being "disloyal", being paid by foreign agents, and of participating in anti-government protests.[2]
In 2023, the Union cosigned a statement released by the American Jewish Committee calling for tech companies to do more to address increasing antisemitism online.[3]
