Anti-Defamation League

Tonight marks 88 years since #Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass), also known as the November Pogrom, when rampaging mobs throughout Germany and Austria freely attacked Jews and destroyed their homes, businesses, cemeteries, schools and synagogues. Nearly 100 Jews were murdered, 30,000 were sent to concentration camps and 1,400 synagogues were damaged or burned down – marking a turning point toward the Nazis' outright violence and widespread destruction of the Jewish people. Jews were then forced to pay "compensation" for the damage. Today, we must not only remember and commemorate, but also speak out against antisemitism whenever and wherever we see it. We must speak up, share facts and show strength.

Debate over U.S. foreign policy, including America’s relationship with Israel, and its effect on the midterm elections is entirely legitimate. However, only 4% of voters rated foreign policy as their primary concern. When leaders like Vice President JD Vance and commentators ignore the data and instead choose to assert that voter behavior was about Israel, it’s not just a deeply flawed analysis but can be weaponized to assign collective blame to Jewish Americans for policy decisions or political outcomes. Antisemitism is rising and drawing energy from extremes of both sides of the political spectrum. Israel is neither diverting federal resources away from our communities nor the reason groceries are more expensive. Hostility toward the Jewish state too often has become a fig leaf for targeting, scapegoating, and excluding Jewish Americans. Elected officials in both parties have an obligation to engage responsibly, to challenge rhetoric that blames Israel or the Jewish people for America’s political outcomes, and to bring our country together. Now is the time.

Spotlight on Hope: Artists Fighting Antisemitism When photographer Zusha Goldin began receiving antisemitic messages online following October 7, he decided to turn his experience into a movement. Known for photographing some of Hollywood’s biggest names, Zusha used his connections in the entertainment industry to launch Artists Against Antisemitism, bringing together celebrities and creatives to speak out against hatred. Through powerful portraits featuring real antisemitic comments and messages of unity, Zusha has transformed his camera into a tool for advocacy, encouraging others to use their platforms to make a difference. ADL was proud to honor Zusha as a Kay Family Honoree for his courage in confronting antisemitism and inspiring others to stand against hate.

We are deeply concerned to learn that antisemitic graffiti, including a swastika and profane language directed at Israel, was found at Sharon High School. No student should encounter hate at school. We are grateful to Superintendent Botelho and Principal Keenan for their unequivocal statement that antisemitism has no place in their school or community, and to the Sharon Police Department for their prompt investigation. ADL New England has been in touch with school leaders and offered our resources and support. We stand with Sharon's Jewish students, families and staff. https://www.sharonma.gov/m/newsflash/Home/Detail/206

Yesterday ushered in a new political chapter in Washington, DC and across the country. This was a historic election, as voters broke longstanding barriers and expanded representation, reflecting the growing diversity of American public life. This election season also underscored the dangers of portraying Jews as dangerous, disloyal or responsible for society’s problems, as well as the blatant fixation on and demonization of Israel. Such antisemitic rhetoric and scapegoating fuels hatred and can lead to harassment, threats and violence. In too many places, Jewish Americans’ concerns about this were overshadowed by competing priorities or dismissed outright. As leaders transition from campaign to governance, elected leaders have a responsibility to foster an environment in which Jewish Americans, like all Americans, can fully participate in public and civic life without being subjected to special litmus tests, having their identity questioned, or being made to feel that their connection to Israel is incompatible with their place in American society. Leaders in both parties must have the courage to confront antisemitism wherever it appears, including within their own ranks. ADL stands ready to work with leaders of both parties at every level of government. We will do so by building partnerships where possible, demanding accountability where necessary and never compromising our commitment to Jewish safety and dignity.

Every elected official has a responsibility to serve and represent all constituents, including the Jewish community. Throughout the campaign, antisemitism surfaced in different and troubling ways. Jewish Mainers raised serious concerns about rhetoric surrounding Israel, harmful stereotypes about Jewish people and symbols that caused real harm to the Jewish community. As Senator-elect Troy Jackson prepares to take office, we urge him to engage meaningfully with the Jewish community and demonstrate through his words and actions an unequivocal commitment to confronting antisemitism, including when it surfaces in political discourse.

Antisemitism within the American Psychological Association is not isolated; it is embedded in its ranks and leadership. ADL’s Academic Association Integrity Index helped bring these deep-rooted issues to light, and our findings and sustained advocacy helped inform the Committee on Education & Workforce recent investigation. So ICYMI, here's what we uncovered last year. ⬇️

The newly released Committee on Education & Workforce report documenting the climate for Jewish and Israeli psychologists within American Psychological Association confirms the gravest concerns ADL has long raised: Antisemitism at the American Psychological Association is not isolated; it is embedded in its ranks and in its leadership. When a healing profession treats one group's pain with such indifference, Jewish patients are right to wonder whether they will be met with compassion or with contempt. For more than a year, ADL and other Jewish organizations told APA leadership exactly what needed to change, and it failed to act. ADL hopes this report prompts APA to publicly condemn antisemitism, strengthen its policies and bias incident reporting mechanisms, launch an independent investigation, require antisemitism training for all leadership and staff, and recognize the Association of Jewish Psychologists as an EPA. We thank Chairman Tim Walberg and the Committee for this report and their continued commitment to combating antisemitism in professional associations.

Today we had lunch at Dizengoff. Criticizing a government is free speech. Declaring that Jewish-owned businesses "must go" and "not in our city" is discrimination and attempted intimidation. The best answer to a discriminatory act is to show up for those it targets. I am planning to eat or order in from each venue over the next month. Patronize these businesses today, tomorrow, this weekend and for weeks, months and years to come. Bring friends. Leave a review. Make them your regular spot. They have FANTASTIC food. Hate counts on us staying away. Let's fight it by showing up. #DineAgainstHate

New ADL and Boundless research reveals a troubling reality: many Americans ages 18–44 have a hard time recognizing antisemitism online, even when it’s blatant. Up to 37% of those surveyed didn’t recognize certain posts targeting Israel and Zionism as antisemitic, and 29% failed to recognize classic antisemitic tropes and slurs like calling Jews “money grubbing.” We can’t fight hate if we can’t recognize it.

ADL has filed a federal civil rights complaint alleging that a Jewish student was subjected to severe, persistent and pervasive antisemitic harassment, culminating in a physical assault while enrolled at Desert Shadows Middle School in the Paradise Valley Unified School District in Scottsdale, Arizona. The student was called a “dirty filthy Jew,” told she should be “gassed” in a concentration camp and then shoved across a desk into a cabinet. “What happened here was preventable, yet the district failed to effectively remedy the ongoing harassment in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act,” said ADL's James Pasch. One administrator even excused the behavior by suggesting that one of the harassers had a crush on the victim. Rather than protecting the student, the school placed her in a class with one of her harassers and ultimately confined her to the principal’s office. The student has since transferred to a different school district. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e4jWZuJc

Proud to be featured in After Never Again, a new documentary by Charlie Spickler exploring Jewish identity, community, belonging, and the rise of antisemitism. We have to innovate to fight antisemitism. What worked in the past won’t necessarily work today, and likely won’t work tomorrow. I share how the Anti-Defamation League is confronting hate across social media, AI, and emerging tech. After Never Again is scheduled to air on PBS in December, via the National Educational Telecommunications Association.

Last week, ADL and the J7 Task Force traveled to the UK and Ireland for the annual J7 summit, amid rising antisemitism and growing threats to Jewish communities. With 2025 marking the deadliest year for antisemitic attacks against diaspora Jews in over 30 years, the need for action is urgent. It cannot wait. Throughout the week, we heard directly from Jewish communities about the challenges they face and brought their concerns to government officials and institutional leaders, including the UK's Foreign Secretary, Ireland's Taoiseach, government ministers, BBC leadership and members of Parliament. Our message was clear. World leaders must recognize antisemitism as a growing and imminent threat to Jewish communities and our shared democratic values, and take concrete action. That means strengthening security for Jewish institutions, enforcing hate crime laws, confronting antisemitism in the media and online and holding leaders accountable.

NEW: The ADL Center for Tech & Society identified 19 active accounts continuing to shape Wikipedia's framing of Israel, Hamas and October 7. More than a year after ADL exposed a coordinated, multi-year campaign to inject antisemitic and anti-Israel narratives into Wikipedia, much of the biased editing remains in place despite editor bans.   Our new analysis found that while the previously identified coordinated activity declined amid congressional, federal and platform scrutiny, a new cohort of editors has carried the biased editing forward. Now, they're using quieter techniques, undoing other editors' changes to preserve certain framing, hedging factual claims and rebuilding articles slowly enough that no single edit draws attention.   The impact extends far beyond Wikipedia. Its content feeds into AI training pipelines, large language model (LLM) outputs and search engine results, spreading these distortions and influencing how millions of readers encounter this information.   Learn more about our findings and recommendations in the full report: https://lnkd.in/ezwhVSEi

Today, the J7 Task Force met with Irish Taoiseach Micheal Martin and Secretary General of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade Joe Hackett to sound the alarm about rising antisemitism in Ireland and to urge immediate action to protect the country's Jewish community. We've seen in our own countries how an increasingly hostile environment for Jews can lead to deadly violence, as we witnessed in Bondi, Manchester, Boulder and Washington D.C. The demonization of Israel generates and fuels the surge in antisemitism in Ireland and beyond. We warned the Taiseaoch and the Secretary General that the conditions for an antisemitic terrorist attack are sadly all too evident in Ireland, and Ireland cannot afford to wait for a tragedy before acting.
