The wave of Palestinian terrorism in October, including the murder of a soldier in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank and a shooting attack in East Jerusalem, which claimed the life of Israeli soldier Noa Lazar, has once again brought to the fore the demonization of Israel and the glorification of violence.
Notably, the current wave of violence saw the emergence of a Palestinian terrorist organization called The Lion’s Den, a relatively small group based in the West Bank city of…

Learn helpful approaches educators can use to talk with young people about extremism and how to help young people resist and counter it.
Teach students about the difference between intent and impact and why it matters.
A recent poll of French attitudes, on a variety of subjects of interest to ADL, revealed some surprising and unsurprising results. On the social acceptance of Jews in France, there was relatively good news, but the same unfortunately cannot be said about French attitudes towards Muslims.
The Le Monde – Fondation Jean Jaures survey analyzes attitudes about societal issues and political affiliation. Over 12,000 people were polled from September 16-20 and the results were…
Definitions of antisemitism, anti-Zionism and anti-Israel bias.
Good evening and thank you for being a part of this important gathering of the Inter-Parliamentary Task Force to Combat Online Antisemitism.
I’m delighted to see so many friends in this room tonight. I want to particularly thank Task Force co-chairs U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Canadian Member of Parliament Anthony Housefather for organizing this critically important summit that challenges us to ask hard questions about the evolution and proliferation of online antisemitism…
August 21 marked the 53rd anniversary of the 1969 al-Aqsa Mosque arson and the ongoing disinformation campaigns scapegoating Jews and Israel for the attack. Although Israeli authorities promptly arrested, tried, and convicted the culprit, Denis Michael Rohan – a Protestant extremist from Australia who believed his actions would prompt the Second Coming of Jesus – Middle Eastern outlets have been publishing inaccurate reports of the event to this day. In a blog published last month,…
Olivia Julianna (who uses only her first and middle name publicly to protect her privacy) has been an activist for several years, advocating voting rights and reproductive-health care. Like many in her generation, she found the political side of TikTok where young people post about important issues facing them. Olivia is involved with Gen-Z for Change, a nonprofit organization leveraging social media to promote civil discourse and political action on a variety of topics including…
August 21 marks the 53rd anniversary of a terrible attack against an Islamic holy site, when a Protestant extremist from Australia named Denis Michael Rohan set fire to the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, destroying large parts of the site and irreplaceable artifacts.
Rohan’s crime should rightly be widely condemned and the loss commemorated even five-plus decades later. It is important to note that Rohan, who believed his actions would prompt the Second Coming of Jesus, was…
This spring and summer, as headlines across the United States have focused on urgent issues like the dangers of gun violence and threats to reproductive care, prominent anti-Israel groups and individuals have sought to tether these American issues to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, doubling down on anti-Zionist tropes and false accusations against the state of Israel.
These groups include Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), both of which…
U.S. President Joe Biden, who is currently visiting Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Saudi Arabia, reiterated the strong friendship and strategic alliance between Israel and the United States, paid tribute to Holocaust survivors, and even self-identified as a Zionist, at a time when the term is being demonized by Israel’s detractors.
Outraged by this show of support for the Jewish State, individuals and groups in the anti-Israel movement in the United States assailed President…

Dear Madam Minister:
Since its founding 109 years ago, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), has been a global leader in combating antisemitism and extremism. We have followed with great concern the story of blatant antisemitic images featured in the documenta 15 art exhibition.
We write to convey that concerns about this scandal are felt well beyond Germany,…

Another mass shooting has taken place, a violent massacre in which the shooter targeted a Black community after posting a white supremacist tract online that espoused virulently antisemitic and racist beliefs.
On May 14, 2022, a gunman entered a supermarket in a largely Black neighborhood in Buffalo, New York and shot thirteen people, killing ten people and injuring at least three others. Almost all of the victims are Black. The gunman was identified by law enforcement as eighteen…

Since Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, the clerical regime has observed the last Friday of the month of Ramadan as International Quds (i.e. Jerusalem) Day, using it as an opportunity to spread antisemitic hate, incite violence against the Jewish people, and call for the destruction of the State of Israel.
Last year, for example, the main English-language Twitter account attributed to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei (@khamenei_ir)…
Thank you so much for inviting me to join this commemoration today.
On Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, we join with communities across the world to remember the attempted annihilation of the Jewish people.
I’m honored to be with you all at USAID because in many ways your work is about hope, the one true antidote to hate, and a force that should provide the inspiration to prevent future horrors as we saw in the Holocaust.
But this day is deeply personal to me.
