A recent poll of French attitudes, on a variety of subjects of interest to ADL, revealed some surprising and unsurprising results. On the social acceptance of Jews in France, there was relatively good news, but the same unfortunately cannot be said about French attitudes towards Muslims.
The Le Monde – Fondation Jean Jaures survey analyzes attitudes about societal issues and political affiliation. Over 12,000 people were polled from September 16-20 and the results were…
August 21 marks the 53rd anniversary of a terrible attack against an Islamic holy site, when a Protestant extremist from Australia named Denis Michael Rohan set fire to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, destroying large parts of the site and irreplaceable artifacts.
Rohan’s crime should rightly be widely condemned and the loss commemorated even five-plus decades later. It is important to note that Rohan, who believed his actions would prompt the Second Coming of Jesus, was…

Dear Mr. Agrawal,
I am once again reaching out regarding Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s chronic violations of Twitter’s terms of service on his accounts of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. We ask that you de-platform him for his continued use of Twitter to promote antisemitism, hate, violence and Holocaust denial.
As I wrote in January 2021 to then Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, Khamenei…

El antisionismo es la oposición al sionismo, el movimiento por la autodeterminación y la condición de Estado del pueblo judío en su patria ancestral, la tierra de Israel. El antisionismo a menudo se expresa, explícita o implícitamente, en el rechazo de la nación judía y su derecho a la autodeterminación; la denigración de individuos y grupos asociados al sionismo; y la minimización o negación de la conexi…
El sionismo es el movimiento en favor de la autodeterminación y la condición de Estado del pueblo judío en su patria ancestral, la tierra de Israel. La gran mayoría de los judíos del mundo sienten una conexión o afinidad con Israel, ya sea que explícitamente se identifiquen o no como sionistas, e independientemente de sus opiniones sobre las políticas del gobierno israelí.
Aunque ha habido una continua presencia judía en…
El asesinato de seis millones de judíos y otros millones de personas llevado a cabo por los nazis y sus colaboradores fue el mayor genocidio registrado en la historia moderna. No se puede hacer ninguna comparación entre el complejo conflicto palestino-israelí y las atrocidades cometidas por los nazis contra los judíos.
Aunque se puede criticar el trato que da Israel a los palestinos, a diferencia del Holocausto, no existe ni ha existido jamás una ideolog…
La política exterior de Estados Unidos con respecto a Israel implica muchas cuestiones, actores y consideraciones complejas y no puede atribuirse a un "poderoso lobby judío".
Como ciudadanos estadounidenses, el apoyo de los judíos estadounidenses es un ejercicio apropiado de la democracia estadounidense y refleja el compromiso de la comunidad judía con los ideales democráticos estadounidenses. El compromiso activo de la comunidad judía…
A menudo se acusa injustamente a Israel de diversas formas de "lavado", incluyendo el lavado rosa (pinkwashing), el ecoblanqueo (greenwashing) y el veganwashing, términos utilizados para desestimar o negar características de la sociedad israelí que reflejan sus valores democráticos y liberales en un esfuerzo por deslegitimar al Estado y sus políticas.
El lavado rosa, una combinación de las palabras "pink" (rosa) y "whitewashing" (blanqueo), fue acu…
"Desde el río hasta el mar, Palestina será libre" es un eslogan que suele aparecer en las campañas pro-palestinas y cantado en las manifestaciones.
Aunque algunos de los que utilizan este eslogan pueden interpretarlo como un alegato general en favor de los derechos y la igualdad de los palestinos, muchos lo entienden literalmente como un llamamiento a un Estado palestino que se extienda desde el río Jordán hasta el mar Mediterráneo &mdash…
