Marina Rosenberg The attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, had profound and far-reaching effects on Israelis, Jewish communities around the world and many others. Across Latin American, several Jewish communities faced a sharp rise in antisemitic incidents, diverse government responses, and escalating security concerns. The aftermath of this attack has not only exposed the vulnerability of Jewish populations in the region but has also highlighted the complex geopolitical dynamics…
Amid Rising Antisemitism, ADL and Moishe House Equip Young Jews with Tools to Combat Antisemitism
Riots across the United Kingdom involving far-right elements broke out after the murder of three young girls at a dance class in the Southport knife attack was falsely attributed to a recently arrived Muslim migrant. It is predictable but still problematic to see Israel scapegoated as the cause of the riots raging across the United Kingdom involving far-right elements. This is happening across social media. The claims have no basis and contribute to the increasing anxiety among the Jews in the…
Ismail Haniyeh, who was killed on July 31, 2024 in Tehran, led the so-called politburo of Hamas, a US-designated Islamist terror organization dedicated to the destruction of the State of Israel and the establishment of an Islamic state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Hamas’ founding covenant issued in 1988, which echoes the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion charging Jews with an international conspiracy to gain control of the world, is…

30 Years After AMIA Bombing, Iranian HispanTV Promotes Antisemitism to Hispanic Audiences
ADL Launches First-Ever ‘Words to Action’ Antisemitism Training in Latin America
According to a survey conducted across seven countries with large Jewish communities, a majority of respondents endorse the antisemitic “dual loyalty” allegation, agreeing that Jews are more loyal to Israel than their home countries. In the United States, this figure stands at 51%.
The death of Saleh Al-Arouri, a leading Hamas financier and military leader on January 2, 2024, resulted in threats of retribution against Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah and other regional proxies of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Similar to the killing of Qassim Soleimani, the head of Quds Force, in 2020 in Baghdad, and the killing of Seyed Razi Mousavi, a senior adviser of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps – Quds Force (IRGC-QF), in 2022 in Syria, Al-Arouri's death led to vitriol and…
Cartoons and posts that accuse Israel of stealing organs from Palestinians in Gaza illustrate the persistency of the age-old antisemitic canard of blood libel.
On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, slaughtering around 1,200 men, women, children, and infants in the largest and most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas terrorists intentionally recorded their murder, rape, and torture of civilians, including around 200 foreign nationals, and took at least 240 hostages back with them to Gaza.
The physical attack was followed by a propaganda and disinformation campaign. Knowing that Israel would have no choice but to respond to the…

Following Hamas’ deadly terror campaign targeting Israel on October 7, it didn’t take long for officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its media platforms to glorify Hamas’ violence and join its antisemitic vitriol. This is not surprising given the financial and military assistance the Iranian regime has provided terror organizations Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) since the early 1990s. It is also not surprising that some figures,…
In the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas’ massacre of over 1,400 people in Israel, and Israel’s military response targeting Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, anti-Israel protests erupted in several locations across the Arab world.
Many of these protests featured expressions of support for Hamas’ actions, harsh anti-Israel sentiment and overt antisemitic chants and slogans. The below list, which was culled from Arab media posts on X, is a sampling of…
As the leaders of the largest Jewish diaspora communities, we stand with Israel as it defends itself against the war launched by Hamas.
During the past few weeks, tensions have been high across Israel and the Palestinian territories, spurred by a wave of Palestinian terrorism, Israel’s military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin, ongoing violence by Jewish extremists against Palestinians, rockets fired from the Gaza Strip, and Israel’s continued settlement building across the West Bank.
An ADL review of cartoons related to these developments that were published in Arab-language media outlets highlight a…
Roger Waters, cofundador y vocalista de la banda Pink Floyd, es un destacado activista antiisraelí y partidario del movimiento de Boicot, Desinversión y Sanciones (BDS). Su activismo se ha caracterizado cada vez más por hacer uso de tópicos antisemitas, incluidos el del poder judío o "sionista", comparar a Israel con la Alemania nazi, y menospreciar a cualquiera que manifieste apoyo, aunque sea tangencial, a la existencia de Israel.
La retórica…

Last month, the Islamic Republic of Iran again marked Quds Day, which has been commemorated on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan by the clerical regime since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with its usual chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Over the decades, Tehran has repeatedly used Quds Day as an opportunity to spread anti-Israel hatred, incite violence against Israelis, and call for the destruction of the Jewish state…
