ALTERNATE NAMES: Nazi FlagThe flag of Nazi Germany has become one of the most potent hate symbols worldwide. It consists of a black swastika in a white circle over a red background (the colors are the same as the Imperial German flag). Originally developed as the flag of the Nazi Party in 1920, it also became the flag of Germany itself after the Nazis took power in 1933. Various elements of the Nazi government and Nazi Party developed many variations and forms of the basic Nazi flag.

El lema “Palestina libre” ha sido utilizado durante mucho tiempo en manifestaciones, cánticos, pancartas, internet y grafitis por quienes defienden los derechos de los palestinos. Desde el 7 de octubre, el eslogan ha sido utilizado regularmente por activistas y organizaciones antiisraelíes en los campus universitarios y otros lugares, y en numerosas ocasiones, se ha dirigido de forma maliciosa contra judíos y otras personas. En muchos sentidos, el eslogan es…

To the Editor:
Re “I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State” (Op-Ed, July 9):
With all his soothing words about equality and blissful coexistence, Peter Beinart is calling for the elimination of the Jewish state itself. His contortions to argue that Zionism does not require an independent Jewish state are transparently false and a tactic to…
April 24, 2020 THE WEEK’S BIG 3A series of anti-quarantine rallies took place across the country this week, several of which were sponsored in whole or part by identified extremists and featured antisemitic content. A new ADL survey released on Holocaust Remembrance Day found that more than half of America’s Jews have either experienced or witnessed an antisemitic incident over the past five years. And Israel’s year-long political stalemate has come to an end, with the…

Federal prosecutors charged five people allegedly linked to a neo-Nazi group for engaging in a campaign to intimidate and harass journalists, activists and a member of the President’s cabinet. Calling AIPAC a platform “for leaders who express bigotry,”…
Following the British announcement that it would end its authority over Palestine, the question of sovereignty was considered by the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP). The UNSCOP report recommended the division of the British Mandate-controlled area of Palestine into two states, one Arab and one Jewish, with Jerusalem to be an “international” city. According to the plan, the two states, roughly equal in size and natural resources, would cooperate on major…
by: Jonathan Greenblatt | September 19, 2019 The Times of Israel Heading into the U.N. General Assembly next week, it is rumored that President Trump might sit down with his Iranian counterpart, Hassan Rouhani, when world leaders are gathered in New York City. This despite claims by U.S. officials that Iran was responsible for the drone attacks on Saudi oil fields, the defiant posture of President Trump toward the regime since he came to office, and the Iranian insistence…
September 12, 2019 What do I need to know about Israel’s election?
On September 17, 2019, Israel will hold an election for the 22nd Knesset.
The victor of the elections in Israel is determined by the party’s ability to form a coalition government (representing at least 61 seats in the Knesset), therefore making the balance of power between the right and left blocs a key issue. According to the Israeli political system, it is not the party which wins the largest number of…

“Teaching High School Students to Demonize Israel” (Tablet, July 18) falsely portrays the Boston area’s two major mainstream Jewish community organizations’ role in a seven-year-old controversy regarding the Newton public school district’s use of the Arab World Studies Notebook and other materials in Newton North High School’s World History classes.

by: Kenneth Jacobson | April 16, 2019 Forward Last week, the ADL joined a number of other Jewish organizations in signing a letter to President Donald Trump asking him to oppose any steps by Israel to annex territory in the West Bank.
Signing the letter was for us the ultimate Zionist statement.
Israel needs a two-state solution as much as the Palestinians. And as news reports suggest the Trump Israeli-Palestinian peace plan is being readied for release in the coming weeks,…
