ADL Letter to Fox News Condemns Tucker Carlson's Impassioned Defense of "Great Replacement Theory"
Media Watch
April 9, 2021
Suzanne Scott
Chief Executive Officer
Fox News Channel
Dear Ms. Scott:
Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…
Los Acuerdos de Abraham son una serie de acuerdos bilaterales mediados por Estados Unidos que normalizaron las relaciones entre Israel y tres países árabes: Baréin y los Emiratos Árabes Unidos el 15 de septiembre de 2020, y Marruecos el 22 de diciembre de 2020. La Declaración de los Acuerdos de Abraham, firmada por funcionarios de Baréin, Emiratos, Israel y Estados Unidos el 15 de septiembre de 2020, “alienta los esfuerzos para promover el di…
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…

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…

Letter to Fox News Channel on Use of Antisemitic Tropes
Media Watch

Suzanne Scott
CEO
Fox News Media
1211 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
Dear Ms. Scott:
We were deeply disturbed by remarks of Fox News anchor Raymond Arroyo during last night’s broadcast of “The Ingraham Angle,” where he asserted that Michael Bloomberg, the Jewish former presidential candidate, will be a “Biden Puppet Master.” This charge, and the comments that followed about Bloomberg’s wealth and power, play into…

The Wall Street Journal
Now more than ever we need strong hate crime laws to ensure that the punishment for targeting individuals or institutions for violence or vandalism for no other reason than their religious affiliation, skin color or other personal characteristic is appropriate.
Contrary to Myron Magnet’s claims, hate-crime laws punish conduct and not thought (“‘Hate Crime’ Is Only a Step Away From Thoughtcrime,” op-ed, Jan. 2…
Letters to the Editor
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
To the Editor:
Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled conspiracy theories about the Anti-Defamation League are so divorced from reality that it’s hard to fathom how her most recent column found its way into The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“ADL, antifa and Koch equal a toxic anti-Trump league,” Oct. 3). In dismissing this storied, 106-year old civil rights organization — one with deep roots in Atlanta — as…
Letter to The Wall Street Journal Responding to Inaccurate Column on Hate Crime Statistics
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The Wall Street Journal in response to "Hate Crime Hoaxes Are More Common Than You Think" (June 26, 2019). This appeared in the Journal's print editions on July 11, 2019. To the Editor:
Jason Riley’s suggestion that false hate crimes are being amplified by civil-rights organizations and others who “have a vested interest in exaggerating racial tensions” is deeply offensive and flat-out wrong (“Hate Crime Hoaxes…
Letter to the New York Times Regarding Op-Ed on BDS
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "Anti-Zionists Deserve Free Speech" (April 16). To the Editor:
Re “Anti-Zionists Deserve Free Speech” (column, April 16):
Michelle Goldberg would have a legitimate point to make if she had limited her argument to the decision to bar the entry of Omar Barghouti to the United States.
As despicable as his views are — as the founder of the boycott, divestment and sanctions…
Letter to The Daily Regarding Recent Episode on the Two-State Solution
Media Watch
The follow letter was submitted to The Daily in response to "Netanyahu Won. The Two-State Solution Lost" (April 11) Lisa Tobin
Executive Producer, The Daily
Dear Ms. Tobin:
The Daily Podcast of April 11 was riddled with inaccuracies, omissions and premature conclusions.
Yes, for those of us who believe that Israel needs a two-state solution as much as the Palestinians, there are worrying trends, including the prime minister’s campaign statement about annexing…
Letter to Al Jazeera: Hamid Dabashi's Sleights of Hand

The following letter was submitted to Al Jazeera in response to "Why Muslims Must be at the Forefront of Fighting Anti-Semitism” (March 17) Letters to the Editor
Al Jazeera
To the Editor:
Professor Hamid Dabashi employs all the sleights of hands by those on the political left who engage in anti-Semitic tropes against Jews (“Why Muslims Must be at the Forefront of Fighting Anti-Semitism,” March 17).
He tries to separate out Zionism from Judaism, when…
Letter to The Jerusalem Post Regarding Isi Leibler's Editorial
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The Jerusalem Post in response to "American Jewish Leaders: Where Are You?" (Jan. 31) Good and bad on both sides:
Isi Leibler’s latest assault against mainstream US Jewish organizational leaders is misinformed (“American Jewish Leaders: Where Are You?” January 31).
Leibler wrongly argues that no Jewish leaders in America are standing up against threats to Israel and the Jewish people from the far Left. As he gets around…

The New York Times
To the Editor:
It is Michelle Goldberg, not those who assert that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is anti-Semitic, who engages in sleight of hand ("Anti-Zionism is not Anti-Semitism," Dec. 7).
The movement in its conception and origins rejects the legitimacy of the Jewish state…
Letter to the New York Times Regarding Editorial on Silencing Hate Speech
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "If We Silence Hate Speech, Will We Silence Resistance?" (Aug. 9) To the Editor:
The first flaw in Erik Nielson’s argument is his failure to define hate speech, which clearly means different things to different people. Speech that harasses, threatens or incites violence - whether it emanates from the left or the right – contributes nothing to the marketplace of ideas, and…
Letter to the New York Times Regarding Alex Jones' Removal From Social Media Platforms
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The New York Times in response to "Free Speech Experts Argue Against Infowars Founder" (Aug. 8) To the Editor:
The debate over whether Alex Jones should have been removed from Facebook, Apple and other platforms seems almost quaint and academic when one looks closely at his long history of spreading outright lies and appeals to bigotry.
After the violent alt-right protest in Charlottesville, Va., a year ago, Mr. Jones announced that he…
Letter to the Wall Street Journal Regarding Criticism of ADL's Stance on Judge Kavanaugh
Media Watch
The following letter was submitted to The Wall Street Journal in response to "Is Brett Kavanaugh Bad for the Jews?" (July 24, 2018) Liel Leibovitz unsurprisingly chooses to paint the Anti-Defamation League and its CEO Jonathan Greenblatt as partisan (“Is Brett Kavanaugh Bad for the Jews?,” op-ed, July 24). Mr. Liebovitz draws selectively from our record of speaking out on issues that are directly connected to our mandate of fighting anti-Semitism and securing justice…
The Abraham Accords are a series of bilateral agreements mediated by the United States that normalized relations between Israel and three Arab countries: Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates on September 15, 2020 and Morocco on December 22, 2020.

The slogan “Free Palestine” has long been used at rallies, in chants, on placards, online and graffitied by those advocating on behalf of Palestinian rights. Since October 7th, the slogan has been regularly used by anti-Israel activists and organizations on college campuses and elsewhere, and in numerous instances, it has been directed maliciously at Jews and others. In many ways, the term is similar to slogans advocating for other political causes, including &ldquo…
