Remarks by Jonathan A. Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League November 13, 2017 San Francisco, CA, November 13, 2017
Good morning everyone. Thank you for being here. I am grateful that you have all joined us this morning.
At the ADL, we’ve been fighting the scourge of anti-Semitism for more than 100 years. But until last year, we hadn’t created an open venue for dialogue about the issue, and so we launched the Never Is Now! conference last November. And as it…

The top award went to a team from Austin, Texas, that created a game called &ldquo…
October 20, 2017 Recently, a video game designer was working on a multiplayer first-person shooter game at a small studio. Others in the company were building battle maps, weapons, and different avatars — but she was the only person to raise her hand and say, "What are we doing to make sure that folks who are playing this game online aren't being totally awful to each other?"
She decided to create community guidelines, looking at lists of hateful words to determine which words could…
ADL to Co-Host ‘Being an Ally Game Jam’ in Multiple Cities Across U.S. NEW YORK – October 16, 2017 … With America as divided as ever and more people being targeted by bias, bullying and hatred online and off-line, the Anti-Defamation League and The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment are hosting a hackathon where video game developers will work together to explore what it means to be an ally and build video games that help counter the hate and bias we’ve seen…
May 01, 2017 Updated: 9/5/18 Has the simple thumb-and-forefinger “OK” hand gesture become a common white supremacist hand sign? Not quite, but it has become a popular gesture used by people across several segments of the right and far right—including some actual white supremacists—who generally use it to trigger reactions, or what they would describe as “trolling the libs.” This is thanks to a 2017 hoax campaign started by members of the…
April 10, 2017 An online campaign of anti-Semitism has been directed at Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and advisor over the past week. It comes in the context of Trump’s removal of chief strategist Stephen Bannon from the National Security Council and reports about a feud between Bannon and Kushner as well as airstrikes in Syria in response to the chemical attack last week.
This campaign of anti-Semitism has been driven by white supremacists and anti-Semites…
March 31, 2017 The Forward By Brittan Heller
Director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Technology and Society
For years, the Anti-Defamation League has held the clear, unwavering stance that videos made by terrorists and hate groups have no place on the internet. Hate-filled videos mislead children, poison the online experience for everyone, and serve as an unfortunate, yet effective, tool to recruit new generations of violent extremists.
Now, ADL is seeing the impact…
March 21, 2017 The irony was thick this week when a Massachusetts rabbi wrote a blog piece musing about the dangerous effects of online trolling, citing the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer as a prime perpetrator. A Daily Stormer writer immediately pounced, posting a story ridiculing the rabbi’s concern and encouraging readers to, yes, troll her via Twitter (he provided the rabbi’s handle) “to thank her for spreading degeneracy among the Jews, or for helping spread our fame…

Al-Manar, the media wing of Hezbollah, has long broadcast terrorist propaganda disguised as news to the Arab speaking world. After being dropped by two of the largest satellite providers in the Arabic speaking world, ArabSat (which dropped the channel in December 2015) and NileSat (which dropped the channel in April 2016), Hezbollah is relying…

El antisionismo es la oposición al sionismo, el movimiento por la autodeterminación y la condición de Estado del pueblo judío en su patria ancestral, la tierra de Israel. El antisionismo a menudo se expresa, explícita o implícitamente, en el rechazo de la nación judía y su derecho a la autodeterminación; la denigración de individuos y grupos asociados al sionismo; y la minimización o negación de la conexi…
El sionismo es el movimiento en favor de la autodeterminación y la condición de Estado del pueblo judío en su patria ancestral, la tierra de Israel. La gran mayoría de los judíos del mundo sienten una conexión o afinidad con Israel, ya sea que explícitamente se identifiquen o no como sionistas, e independientemente de sus opiniones sobre las políticas del gobierno israelí.
Aunque ha habido una continua presencia judía en…
El asesinato de seis millones de judíos y otros millones de personas llevado a cabo por los nazis y sus colaboradores fue el mayor genocidio registrado en la historia moderna. No se puede hacer ninguna comparación entre el complejo conflicto palestino-israelí y las atrocidades cometidas por los nazis contra los judíos.
Aunque se puede criticar el trato que da Israel a los palestinos, a diferencia del Holocausto, no existe ni ha existido jamás una ideolog…
La política exterior de Estados Unidos con respecto a Israel implica muchas cuestiones, actores y consideraciones complejas y no puede atribuirse a un "poderoso lobby judío".
Como ciudadanos estadounidenses, el apoyo de los judíos estadounidenses es un ejercicio apropiado de la democracia estadounidense y refleja el compromiso de la comunidad judía con los ideales democráticos estadounidenses. El compromiso activo de la comunidad judía…
A menudo se acusa injustamente a Israel de diversas formas de "lavado", incluyendo el lavado rosa (pinkwashing), el ecoblanqueo (greenwashing) y el veganwashing, términos utilizados para desestimar o negar características de la sociedad israelí que reflejan sus valores democráticos y liberales en un esfuerzo por deslegitimar al Estado y sus políticas.
El lavado rosa, una combinación de las palabras "pink" (rosa) y "whitewashing" (blanqueo), fue acu…
"Desde el río hasta el mar, Palestina será libre" es un eslogan que suele aparecer en las campañas pro-palestinas y cantado en las manifestaciones.
Aunque algunos de los que utilizan este eslogan pueden interpretarlo como un alegato general en favor de los derechos y la igualdad de los palestinos, muchos lo entienden literalmente como un llamamiento a un Estado palestino que se extienda desde el río Jordán hasta el mar Mediterráneo &mdash…
Algunos afirman que Israel está cometiendo una "limpieza étnica" contra los palestinos. Aunque en el derecho internacional no existe una definición precisa de limpieza étnica, la acusación sugiere que Israel trabaja sistemáticamente para librar su territorio de palestinos, incluidos los ciudadanos árabes israelíes, mediante la fuerza o tácticas de intimidación con el fin de crear una sociedad homogénea. Esta es una…
