Along with other agencies such as the [[Simon Wiesenthal Center]] and the [[Union for Reform Judaism]], the AJC condemned a move in mid-2014 by the [[Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)|U.S. Presbyterian Church]] to divest from companies that do business with [[Israel settlement]]s. An AJC statement asserted that the divestment is just one incident of the U.S. church group "demonizing Israel", referring to "one-sided reports and study guides, such as 'Zionism Unsettled'" as proof of [[Anti-Zionism|anti-Zionist]] sentiments.<ref>Gruen, Sarah.

In 2016, the AJC and [[Islamic Society of North America]] formed the [[Muslim-Jewish Advisory Council]] to address rising bigotry against Jews and Muslims in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/new-york/muslim-jewish-council-forms-amid-spike-hate-crime|title=Muslim-Jewish Council Forms Amid Spike In Hate Crime: Launch of first such national group buttressed by post-election bias incidents against the two groups|first=Steve|last=Lipman|work=The Jewish Week|date=November 16, 2016|access-date=November 17, 2016|archive-date=November 17, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161117190734/http://www.thejewishweek.com/news/new-york/muslim-jewish-council-forms-amid-spike-hate-crime|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On 22 February 2019, AJC condemned the [[Otzma Yehudit]] party, calling its views "reprehensible." The AJC statement said Otzma Yehudit's views "do not reflect the core values that are the very foundation of the State of Israel."<ref name="staff">{{Cite web|url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/major-us-jewish-groups-slam-racist-and-reprehensible-extremist-israeli-party/|title=AIPAC to boycott 'racist and reprehensible' Kahanist party wooed by Netanyahu|last=staff|first=T.
