Arizona state senator Anthony Kern used taxpayer-funded facilities to appear on a talk show hosted by antisemitic conspiracy theorist Stew Peters, where he promoted views of anti-LGBTQ+ hate. We thank the AZ Senate President for revoking his privileges.
With commencement ceremonies around the corner, it’s critical that colleges & universities take action to prevent disruptions and ensure the safety of students & their families, especially given the recent antisemitic activity taking place on US campuses:
We send our condolences to the family of Lior Rudaeff, a volunteer ambulance driver murdered on 10/7 whose body is being held captive in Gaza. We call for the release of all hostages & Lior's body to be returned to his family for a dignified burial. May his memory be a blessing.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum announced on Tuesday that Lior Rudaeff, who was previously considered to be in Gaza captivity, was murdered on October 7, and his body was taken to Gaza.

We applaud
@RepJoshG
and
@RepSteel
for leading this timely legislation.
In an era when ADL data is showing a historic rise in antisemitism, education is more critical than ever to understand and curb this perennial hate.
A new poll by
@Generation_Lab
shows that only a small percentage of college students have actually participated in campus protests related to the Israel-Hamas war — and the majority of those polled oppose the tactics being used by anti-Israel protestors.
Hamas murdered Judith Weinstein on Oct 7 and continues to hold her body hostage. Yet today, Al-Jazeera quotes Hamas’ malicious claim that she died from "lack of medical care," which it blames on Israel. This perversely absolves the murderers & is a cruel abuse of Judith’s memory.
Powerful words from
@POTUS
this morning. ADL thanks the
@WhiteHouse
for its continued leadership in the fight against
#antisemitism
during this unprecedented surge of hate.
We were honored to co-sponsor the Federal Inter-Agency Holocaust Remembrance Committee’s

There's one bottom line, and it applies to protesters and counter-protesters alike: Hate has no place on campus.
Last week, counter-protesters at Ole Miss reportedly made monkey noises and shouted “take a shower” at a Black anti-Israel protester. It's critical that everyone call…
But this video captured an ugly and horrifying turn, when blatant racism took hold. Hatred like this needs to be denounced, not celebrated. Racist rhetoric cannot be an acceptable form of counter protest.

Today, as B'nai Brith Canada launched its Annual Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, we unveiled a sobering truth: in 2023, there were a staggering 5791 incidents of antisemitism, marking a chilling 109% surge from the previous year's 2769 cases. This is more than double the previous…
It's been 7 months since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel to slaughter, rape, mutilate and kidnap men, women, children and elderly, including Holocaust survivors. More than 130 hostages remain in captivity.

We are deeply disturbed by hateful and vitriolic chants of “Death to Zionism” and “Israel in ruins” by student protestors on
