The mayor stayed away from the Israel Day Parade. I went because Jewish pride, peoplehood and Israel ties are not up for negotiation. By Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO When Mayor Mamdani announced that he would skip New York City’s annual Israel Day Parade, he broke with a tradition that every mayor has honored since the event began in 1965 – standing shoulder to shoulder with members of the New York Jewish community at a parade celebrating their cultural heritage. His absence wasn…
By Jonathan Greenblatt To the Class of 2026, my dear graduates, Mazel Tov. I know what you went through to get here. You arrived on campus in the Fall of 2022.

The Andinia Plan is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims Jews want to establish a second Jewish and Zionist state in the Patagonia region, located across Argentina and Chile.

While Iran has a deep and ancient history of religious and ethnic pluralism, the 1979 revolution set in motion almost five-decades of systematic persecution against the country's minority communities and Iranian women in the name of the Islamic Republic.

Since the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas against Israel, the inverted red triangle has, in many cases, come to signify support for violent Palestinian resistance against Israel and against Zionists and Jewish people more broadly.

The symbol first appeared in propaganda videos from…

As my first day as the newly appointed regional director for Anti-Defamation League New England was International Holocaust Remembrance Day, my first official act was to attend a meaningful ceremony at the New England Holocaust Memorial, hosted by the German and Israeli embassies. It was very powerful to hear each consul general speak about the millions murdered at the hands of the Nazis, and their countries’ dedication to ensuring that this will never happen again. This was a fitting…
Thursday, after a despicable propaganda ceremony in Gaza, Hamas terrorists returned the bodies of Oded Lifshitz, kidnapped at 85 years old and murdered in captivity, and Ariel and Kfir Bibas, who were just four and nine months old when they too were kidnapped on Oct. 7, 2023. In a cruel act, the fourth body promised to be that of Ariel and Kfir’s mom, Shiri Bibas, did not match her DNA or that of any known hostage. Shiri’s remains were finally returned on Friday. Forever burned in…
