Letters

In a letter to the president of the International Paralympic Committee, ADL urged the body to move its upcoming international para swimming competition out of Malaysia after its government banned Israeli athletes from participating.

In a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, ADL called for the censure of Rep. Steve King and asked that his ranking membership be stripped, due to a history of anti-Semitic and offensive involvements and statements.

In a letter to the Qatari Ambassador to the U.S., ADL explained that his government has a moral obligation to discourage anti-Semitic cartoons, as such hateful incitement constitutes a clear violation of Qatari law.

In a letter to the World Chess Federation’s Director General, Emily Sutovsky, ADL commended the organization for taking disciplinary action against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their discriminatory practices against Israeli competitors.

In an ADL-led letter to House leaders, ADL and 12 coalition partners called for the enactment of the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act before the end of the 115th Congress.

In a letter to Congressional leaders, ADL, along with coalition partners, urged the timely passage of two bipartisan bills designed to address anti-Semitism abroad.

In a letter to Airbnb, ADL raises questions about the company's recent decision to not list rentals in Israeli settlements in the West Bank. 

In a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen, ADL urged the Trump Administration to reject anti-Muslim extremist Tommy Robinson's visa application to the U.S.

In a letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt urged him to strip Rep. Steve King from his chairmanships, and to take formal disciplinary action to censure him, following a series of anti-Semitic and offensive involvements and statements.

In comments submitted to the Office of Policy for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ADL argues in strong opposition to proposed rules by the DHS and HHS to amend regulations related to the Flores Settlement Agreement.

In a letter to Roger Severino, Director of the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), ADL called for the rejection of South Carolina's request to allow federally funded, faith-based foster agencies within the State to deny applications of prospective Jewish and other foster parents on the basis of religion.

ADL’s steadfast anti-hate agenda compels us to voice our commitment to the State of Israel and to stand with the Confederación de Comunidades Judías de Colombia in lamenting the decision taken by outgoing president Juan Manuel Santos to recognize a Palestinian state. Such unilateral recognition runs counter to the historic position that Colombia has taken on the need for a two-state-solution that is mutually negotiated between Israel and the Palestinian people. In this letter we urge current President Duque Márquez to use the power of his office to reverse this regrettable decision that stands counter to the strong ties shared by Colombia and Israel.
