On October 7, Hamas attacked Israel, slaughtering around 1,200 men, women, children, and infants in the largest and most brutal massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Hamas terrorists intentionally recorded their murder, rape, and torture of civilians, including around 200 foreign nationals, and took at least 240 hostages back with them to Gaza.

Following Hamas’ deadly terror campaign targeting Israel on October 7, it didn’t take long for officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its media platforms to glorify Hamas’ violence and join its antisemitic vitriol. This is not surprising given the financial and military assistance the Iranian regime has provided terror organizations Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) since the early 1990s. It is also not surprising that some figures,…
In the aftermath of the October 7th Hamas’ massacre of over 1,400 people in Israel, and Israel’s military response targeting Hamas and other Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, anti-Israel protests erupted in several locations across the Arab world.

An ADL review of cartoons related to these developments that were published in Arab-language media outlets highlight a…

Last month, the Islamic Republic of Iran again marked Quds Day, which has been commemorated on the last Friday of the month of Ramadan by the clerical regime since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, with its usual chants of “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.” Over the decades, Tehran has repeatedly used Quds Day as an opportunity to spread anti-Israel hatred, incite violence against Israelis, and call for the destruction of the Jewish state…

Nine Palestinians, including PIJ members and at least one civilian, were killed and others wounded.

An examination of textbooks used in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades of Moroccan state schools during the 2021-2022 school year indicate that tolerance and diversity are core to the curriculum promoted across Moroccan society. The excerpts on Judaism and Jews that Morocco’s Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training provided to ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) show that the country’s elementary school textbooks depict Jews as an…
by: Shaya Lerner Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, which takes place on the last Friday of Ramadan, was initiated in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini, leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran, as a show of solidarity with the Palestinians and to assert the Islamic claim over Jerusalem. While events are held around the world, in Iran, it is often marked by a hateful demonstration of anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiment, manifest in government organized rallies and other activities. Before this…

The contest reportedly received over 800…
by: Shaya Lerner Despite the international community’s reengagement with a more “open” and “moderate” Iran, some things in Iranian society haven’t changed, including the prevalence of Holocaust mockery and denial. While President Rouhani hasn’t touted the issue like his predecessor Ahmadinejad had, recent announcements indicate that the questioning of the Holocaust is very much alive and well within Iranian society. In December, the Tehran…
