Dear Mr. Rorsted and Mr. Rabe:
In light of Kanye West’s increasingly strident antisemitic remarks over the past few weeks, we were disturbed to learn that Adidas plans to continue to release new products from his Yeezy brand without any seeming acknowledgement of the controversy surrounding his most recent…

Good morning, everyone. I am so glad to be with you all here in Washington D.C. and to join the McCain Institute and Dr. Farkas for this event on one of the most important issues facing our country today. I would like to thank our guest speakers, especially Congressman Jamie Raskin for joining us today, as well as everyone here in person or tuning in virtually.
I can think of no better way to honor the legacy of Senator McCain, a man who dedicated his life to public service…
Strategies on how to be prepared for antisemitic or anti-Israel situation on campus, based on real life incidents
To the Editor:
The Times’ piece on Linda Sarsour and the efforts of Russian troll farms to disrupt the Women’s March in 2017 raises important points about disinformation campaigns and their harm, and the malicious intent of the Russian government (“How Russian trolls Helped Keep the Women’s March Out of Lock Step,” Sept. 18).
This, however, in no way should obfuscate or distract from the antisemitic statements and actions by Ms. Sarsour and other founding…
UPDATE 8/18: Following ADL's investigation, YouTube terminated both the First Works Baptist Church and Verity Baptist Church channels.
In recent months, pastors affiliated with the virulently antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ+ New Independent Fundamental Baptist (New IFB) movement have taken advantage of YouTube Shorts, significantly expanding the reach of their hateful content. Using this relatively new social media tool, some New IFB pastors have increased the average viewership on their…
During the 2022 primary season, a significant number of candidates espousing anti-Israel views are running for office across the country. Some have engaged in inflammatory or antisemitic rhetoric related to Israel. As the primary elections enter their final weeks, voters have voiced their preferences at the ballot box for many of these candidates, and most have lost. While their defeat may reflect a rejection of their views by the electorate, strong showings by some radical anti-Israel…

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…
This spring and summer, as headlines across the United States have focused on urgent issues like the dangers of gun violence and threats to reproductive care, prominent anti-Israel groups and individuals have sought to tether these American issues to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, doubling down on anti-Zionist tropes and false accusations against the state of Israel.
These groups include Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), both of which…
U.S. President Joe Biden, who is currently visiting Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Saudi Arabia, reiterated the strong friendship and strategic alliance between Israel and the United States, paid tribute to Holocaust survivors, and even self-identified as a Zionist, at a time when the term is being demonized by Israel’s detractors.
Outraged by this show of support for the Jewish State, individuals and groups in the anti-Israel movement in the United States assailed President…
An investigation from ADL’s Center for Technology and Society (CTS) found Twitter did not remove over 200 blatantly antisemitic tweets accusing Jewish people of pedophilia, invoking Holocaust denial, and sharing oft-repeated conspiracy theories. To test Twitter’s enforcement of its policies on antisemitism, CTS reported 225 strongly antisemitic tweets over nine weeks through ongoing communications with the platform. Of the reported tweets, Twitter only removed 11, or 5% of the…

In an email correspondence to "1984.is", a web hosting service based in Iceland, ADL urged the company to remove the antisemitic "Mapping Project" immediately. To whom it may concern,
I am writing on an urgent basis from the Anti-Defamation League, a US nongovernmental organization.
A website, https://mapliberation.org/, has apparently relocated to your hosting service after being removed from its previous hosts for doxing. Specifically, the site…
The Mapping Project, an antisemitic website that calls for the “dismantling” of organizations key to the infrastructure of the Massachusetts Jewish community, has garnered broad support from U.S. State Department-designated terror group Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Iranian government-controlled Press TV. This endorsement is representative of an entrenched dynamic via which PFLP, Press TV and some U.S. anti-Zionist activists offer mutual support,…
View this page in Spanish Antisemitism is a topic that has been in the news and is something important to explore and understand. From news stories about vandalism and hate crimes, to celebrities spewing frightening claims and vitriol about Jewish people, to the antisemitic tropes we see in our social media feeds — antisemitism is all around us. What is Antisemitism?Antisemitism refers to prejudice, discrimination, or hostility directed at Jewish people. It is generally based…
The Boston “Mapping Project” is not a one-off from a fringe group. Rather, it exemplifies how the increasingly aggressive purveyors of anti-Zionism are spewing raw antisemitism into the mainstream. The movement barely attempts to use the fig leaf of opposition to Israeli policies to cover a venomous hostility to the Jewish people.
