December 07, 2016 Letters to the Editor
Huffington Post Arabic
Dear Editors:
On November 29, the Arabic version of The Huffington Post, HuffPost Arabi, published an anti-Semitic blog that promotes a preposterous claim of a Jewish responsibility for the death of Islam’s prophet, Mohammed which parallels the Jewish deicide. We decried the article from our @ADLArabi Twitter account as poisoned with religious bigotry.
The article, “‘Arsenic’ The…

As a leading company in the online and technology field, Google has been the target of individuals and groups…

In the aftermath of the 2016 presidential campaign, we witnessed a series of disturbing hate crimes targeting Jews, African-Americans, Muslims, members of the LGBTQ community and others following Election Day. This, as white supremacists and those…
December 01, 2016 There has been a lot of debate lately about whether media outlets should use the term “alt right.” Some argue that the term whitewashes or normalizes a grouping that is, at its core, racist and anti-Semitic. The problem is not so much with the term “alt right” but in how people define or not define it. It is crucial that whenever the term “alt right” is used, it be defined clearly and put in the proper context.

As Director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, it’s my job to be aware of how anti-Semitism is promoted, exploited and embraced on the fringes of society. It’s also my job to try to keep that hatred on the fringes, where it belongs.
Thanks in part to the work of the ADL, Jews in the United States are no longer openly discriminated against or excluded from universities, hotels, resorts or social clubs. Today…
November 18, 2016 “The American Jewish community has not seen this level of anti-Semitism in mainstream political and public discourse since the 1930s. Sadly, it is only being matched with escalating levels of hate against other minorities, too, including Latinos, the disabled, Muslims, African Americans and the LGBT community. … The sum of these signs? People are afraid.”

These incidents include physical assaults, threats of violence, and verbal and written taunts promoting anti-Semitic stereotypes or evoking disturbing Holocaust themes. The following is a list of selected incidents in 2015 that represent anti-Semitic bullying of children, adolescents and teenagers by their…
June 22, 2016 ADL witnessed an explosion of hate online, especially on social media platforms in 2015. While the audit includes incidents of online anti-Semitism reported to ADL in which an individual or institution is explicitly targeted, it does not count general anti-Semitic expressions online. ADL has been monitoring the recent spike on such harassment, which seems to have corresponded to the political season, with a large amount of this vitriol directed at journalists and other public…

by: Oren Segal | September 29, 2016 The Guardian Pepe the Frog originated as an innocuous cartoon character in 2005. This week, he was added to the Anti-Defamation League’s Center database of hate symbols. At first glance, it may seem more than a little strange that the image of a cartoon frog could end up alongside such infamous symbols as the Blood Drop Cross of the Ku Klux Klan. But the evolution of Pepe the Frog actually illustrates a key aspect of hate symbols:…
