Re “The Tale of Two Invasions: What the Last Attack on Jenin Tells Us About Israel Now,” (July 10).
Tareq Baconi repeats the usual distortions and conspiracy theories about Israel in a clear attempt to discredit Israel among international circles. We are accustomed to seeing these spurious accusations from Palestinian and pro-Palestinian propagandists: Israel is an apartheid state. Israel rejects a two…

Roger Waters, cofundador y vocalista de la banda Pink Floyd, es un destacado activista antiisraelí y partidario del movimiento de Boicot, Desinversión y Sanciones (BDS). Su activismo se ha caracterizado cada vez más por hacer uso de tópicos antisemitas, incluidos el del poder judío o "sionista", comparar a Israel con la Alemania nazi, y menospreciar a cualquiera que manifieste apoyo, aunque sea tangencial, a la existencia de Israel.

Re: “The ADL is wrong to attack the NYT’s brave investigative reporting on Hasidic yeshivas” by Ruth Messinger
To the editor:
While we greatly respect and value constructive feedback from Ruth Messinger on issues affecting the Jewish community, we were surprised by her suggestion that the ADL went too far in asking The New York Times to carefully consider the potential for its series of investigative articles on the Hasidic community’s education system to…
To the Editor:
The Times’ piece on Linda Sarsour and the efforts of Russian troll farms to disrupt the Women’s March in 2017 raises important points about disinformation campaigns and their harm, and the malicious intent of the Russian government (“How Russian trolls Helped Keep the Women’s March Out of Lock Step,” Sept. 18).
This, however, in no way should obfuscate or distract from the antisemitic statements and actions by Ms. Sarsour and other founding…
The following letter was submitted to the Washington Post in response to "Beware the data on American right-wing violence" (May 23) To the Editor:
In “Beware the data on American right-wing violence,” Megan McArdle admits that far right violence is a problem, but insinuates it isn’t necessarily a bigger problem than other kinds of ideological violence. She offers no evidence but tries to make her case by second-guessing ADL’s annual reports on extremist-connected…

Dear Mr. Murdoch,
I write once again to express deep alarm about the dangerous misinformation that FOX News continues to allow Tucker Carlson to express on your network and its platforms, this time in the form of a “documentary” about the insurrection on January 6.
In a trailer for “Patriot Purge,” which apparently is…
The following letter was submitted to the New York Post in response to "Forget using PayPal if your views run afoul of this left-wing group” (July 29) To the Editor:
Jonathan S. Tobin’s mischaracterization of ADL and PayPal’s partnership as an attempt to censor conservative voices is disingenuous and without any evidence (“Forget using PayPal if your views run afoul of this left-wing group,” July 29).
In truth, our partnership with PayPal will…

Since the start of the May conflict between Israel and Hamas, there have been numerous antisemitic incidents around the world related to the conflict. The perpetrators of these attacks deliberately targeted Jewish institutions in order to express their anger towards Israel.
Whenever anti-Israel actions target synagogues, Jewish community centers, kosher restaurants, Jewish owned businesses, or individual Jews – in other words, holding Jews…

Dear Mr. Murdoch,
I received your response of April 11, 2021, and I thank you for your words of respect for ADL. Although I appreciate the sentiment that you and your father continue to support ADL’s mission, supporting Mr. Carlson’s embrace of the “great replacement theory” stands in direct…

Dear Ms. Scott:
Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…

Re “Nobel Peace Prize: A Growing List of Questionable Choices” (Nov. 17):
Including former Israeli Prime Ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres in an article about mistakes the Nobel Prize Committee has made over the years in awarding its peace prize is beyond absurd.
The other examples largely involve situations where award winners engaged in major human rights abuses or wars after receiving the prize, which legitimately raised questions about the…

Re “I No Longer Believe in a Jewish State” (Op-Ed, July 9):
With all his soothing words about equality and blissful coexistence, Peter Beinart is calling for the elimination of the Jewish state itself. His contortions to argue that Zionism does not require an independent Jewish state are transparently false and a tactic to…

Dear Ms. Scott:
We were deeply disturbed by remarks of Fox News anchor Raymond Arroyo during last night’s broadcast of “The Ingraham Angle,” where he asserted that Michael Bloomberg, the Jewish former presidential candidate, will be a “Biden Puppet Master.” This charge, and the comments that followed about Bloomberg’s wealth and power, play into…

Now more than ever we need strong hate crime laws to ensure that the punishment for targeting individuals or institutions for violence or vandalism for no other reason than their religious affiliation, skin color or other personal characteristic is appropriate.
Contrary to Myron Magnet’s claims, hate-crime laws punish conduct and not thought (“‘Hate Crime’ Is Only a Step Away From Thoughtcrime,” op-ed, Jan. 2…

Atlanta Journal-Constitution
To the Editor:
Michelle Malkin’s hate-filled conspiracy theories about the Anti-Defamation League are so divorced from reality that it’s hard to fathom how her most recent column found its way into The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (“ADL, antifa and Koch equal a toxic anti-Trump league,” Oct. 3). In dismissing this storied, 106-year old civil rights organization — one with deep roots in Atlanta — as…
The following letter was submitted to The Wall Street Journal in response to "Hate Crime Hoaxes Are More Common Than You Think" (June 26, 2019). This appeared in the Journal's print editions on July 11, 2019. To the Editor:
Jason Riley’s suggestion that false hate crimes are being amplified by civil-rights organizations and others who “have a vested interest in exaggerating racial tensions” is deeply offensive and flat-out wrong (“Hate Crime Hoaxes…

Re “ADL Distorts the Annexation Debate” (April 22):
Stephen M. Flatow completely mischaracterizes our piece in the Forward. Contrary to Flatow, ADL’s piece never once mentions the prime minister of Israel. The focus of our piece was in reaction to the growing number of voices on the Israeli political right who, in the…
