“F--- the jews! Find me on UpScrolled,” proclaimed one antisemitic influencer last month to her 1.3 million followers on X.

But following panicked and conspiratorial claims about changes to TikTok’s U.S. operating structure, UpScrolled’s user base exploded to…

Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attacks, analysts from the ADL Center on Extremism (COE) have tracked how some U.S.-based anti-Zionist activists and groups, including Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapters, are amplifying propaganda from Palestinian Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs) and others to promote support for the “resistance” — a euphemistic reference to the various terrorist groups responsible for violent attacks against Israel, including  …
The explicit celebration of Hamas at a protest targeting a Queens synagogue last week serves as a stark reminder of a disturbing new reality: Pro-terror expressions are becoming openly normalized within the U.S. anti-Israel movement. The January 8 demonstration outside of Young Israel of Kew Gardens Hills in Queens, New York, was ostensibly a protest of an Israeli real estate event taking place inside the synagogue. It quickly devolved into calls to “Globalize the Intifada,” shouts…

“Never Lose Your Smile” is a phrase that, when joined with the Totenkopf skull, is used as an in-joke or reference by white supremacists.
Alternate Names: NLYS
Never Lose Your Smile is a design/meme consisting of the phrase “Never Lose Your Smile” accompanied by the Totenkopf skull image or, more commonly, merely the bottom half of that skull, which obscures its true nature and thus allows the image to pass unnoticed as a white supremacist symbol. The deceptive nature of this design has also allowed extremists to sell clothing, patches, and other items featuring the image on major internet platforms without triggering moderation.
Some Never Lose Your Smile images may also contain the colors or designs of national flags. Other variations use Totenkopf imagery with a slightly different phrase, such as “Never Lose Your Love” or “Never Lose Your Hope.”
Some white supremacists have also used the phrase alone, without the skull, in circumstances such as screen names. However, use of the phrase by itself without a clear white supremacist context should not be taken for granted as hate-related.
White supremacists likely borrowed this concept from older, non-extremist designs that combined the phrase with non-Totenkopf skull images. Use of the “Never Lose Your Smile” slogan in combination with generic skulls or other non-white supremacist images, such as generic clowns, should not be considered hate related.
The Groyper image is a Pepe the Frog variation used by followers of white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
“Double Romans” refers to a two-handed variation of a Nazi or fascist salute.
White supremacists turned the image of mass shooter Brenton Tarrant into a meme to celebrate his act and encourage others to commit similar violence.

While this is an important tool for educators to make learning feel relevant and current for students, it also must be done with thought and care. Many curriculum offerings claim to offer educators resources and guidance on integrating complex current events into their classrooms, like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Sometimes these offerings, while claiming to provide…

Sometimes, however, unit plans that purport to offer educators guidance and nuance in presenting materials in their classrooms instead have inaccuracies, bias and misinformation. The guidance below demonstrates how unbalanced unit guides can be problematic…
Educators surveyed in a 2025 RAND study said that after school curricula and U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum materials, YouTube is their most-used supplement for teaching the Holocaust and related Jewish topics. Although its videos are free and visually engaging, their quality varies; for example, Vox’s “The Israel-Palestine Conflict: A Brief, Simple History” can appear more reliable than it is. Vox itself is an American news and opinion website that leans towards the…
