June 15, 2021 Over the past two years, federal courts nationwide have encountered a rash of cases in which plaintiffs go to court to ask that suspicious arbitration awards be “confirmed” against the party that they claim owes the putative damages. These cases are related to a new tactic used by the sovereign citizen movement, the longstanding anti-government extremist movement whose adherents don’t believe in the legitimacy or authority of the U.S. government. This new tactic…

June 11, 2021 THE WEEK’S BIG 3 Antisemitic incidents more than doubled in May compared to last year following Mideast violence, according to new data from ADL. Online antisemitism grew significantly during the pandemic, with COVID-19 ushering in “a new wave of antisemitic conspiracy theories and hate in Europe,” the European Commission said in a report issued last week. Four members of the same family were killed in a pickup truck attack in London, Ontario in what…

In the last year, peace accords between Israel and four Arab states fueled predictions that several other Mideast governments might soon make amends with the Jewish state. Saudi Arabia, Mauritania, Oman, Kuwait, and Qatar were all identified as possible next candidates for peace with Israel. Reports also suggested that Turkey and Egypt, which recognize Israel but avoid fully normalized relations, might face new pressures to shift from cold…
The Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) is a socialist political party in the United States that incorporates virulent anti-Zionism as a core organizing principle.
June 09, 2021 In the past month, the American Jewish community has been under increased threat of violence and harassment. Early data from ADL suggests antisemitic incidents have increased significantly, both online and offline, after the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians returned to the national spotlight. We wanted to follow up on the survey we conducted earlier this year of Jewish Americans to learn about their experiences with antisemitism, online and off, to help determine…
June 09, 2021 Un nuevo análisis del Centro sobre Extremismo de la ADL revela que los incidentes antisemitas en Estados Unidos aumentaron a más del doble durante el conflicto militar de mayo de 2021 entre Israel y Hamás y sus consecuencias inmediatas, en comparación con el mismo período de tiempo en 2020. Después de alcanzar un punto máximo entre el 20 y el 22 de mayo de 2021, el nivel de incidentes ha retornado gradualmente al nivel de…
June 08, 2021 Just as Jewish individuals and institutions have been targeted with antisemitism during the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas in many European cities, antisemitic incidents have also occurred in European soccer stadiums and antisemitic vitriol has reached unprecedented levels online.
Antisemitism has always been present in European soccer. Fans have written antisemitic, racist, neo-Nazi slogans on banners, sung them in songs, and shouted them during physical attacks on…
June 07, 2021 New analysis from ADL’s Center on Extremism reveals that antisemitic incidents in the U.S. more than doubled during the May 2021 military conflict between Israel and Hamas and its immediate aftermath compared to the same time period in 2020.

These numbers should still be considered preliminary and are likely to change as additional information becomes available.

June 07, 2021 En toda Europa, las protestas contra las restricciones del COVID-19 y las campañas públicas que promocionan las vacunas contra el virus han incluido símbolos e imágenes del Holocausto, entre ellas la estrella amarilla.
La utilización de este tipo de imaginería del Holocausto compara erróneamente el régimen nazi antisemita, racista, misógino, xenófobo y homófobo, y sus actos genocidas, con las…

On May 28, 2021, Texas authorities arrested Coleman Thomas Blevins of Kerrville after he allegedly threatened to carry out a mass shooting at an area Walmart. Blevins was charged with making a terroristic threat to create public fear of serious bodily injury. He appears to embrace a convoluted extremist ideology that includes elements of white…
June 02, 2021 Across Europe, protests against COVID-19 restrictions and public campaigns promoting vaccines against the virus have included Holocaust symbols and imagery, such as the yellow star.
The utilization of this type of Holocaust imagery wrongly compares the antisemitic, racist, misogynist, xenophobic and homophobic Nazi-regime and its genocidal acts to current government measures to contain the pandemic. Comparing the two is not only an act of moral outrage, but also represents an…
June 01, 2021 Over the last few years, TikTok—the social media app that allows users to create and share short videos—has gained immense popularity. With hundreds of millions of users, the platform is particularly popular among younger individuals. As ADL’s Center on Extremism (COE) documented in August 2020, while much of the content on TikTok is lighthearted and fun, extremists have exploited the platform to share hateful content and recruit new adherents. A recent review…
During the two weeks of military conflict between Israel and Hamas in May 2021, antisemitic incidents in the U.S. reported to ADL increased by 75% compared to the two weeks before the fighting began, from 127 to 222, according to preliminary data. (Also see update: Full data for month of May 2021). Many of these incidents appear to have been perpetrated by individuals scapegoating American Jews for the actions of the Israeli government.
The incidents have taken place at and around the…
May 24, 2021 Against the backdrop of violence in the Middle East, ADL noted a rise of antisemitism across social media. Although much of that antisemitism focuses on alleged “evil” perpetrated by Zionists or Zionism, there has also been a significant increase in classic antisemitism, including tropes of Jews as controlling, greedy and immoral.
To explore this further, the Center on Extremism (COE) researched the prevalence of posts that include language invoking classic…
