To mark Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), ADL Israel hosted a joint commemoration with Zikaron Ba'Salon, attended by over 30 people, including foreign diplomats stationed in Israel. The event featured powerful testimony from Holocaust survivor Wanda Albinska, whose story of courage and resilience resonated with all attendees.
A Yom HaShoah oped by Marina Rosenberg, SVP for International Affairs, reflects on the importance of Holocaust education in light of the 2024 G100 survey results. And in a related op-ed, Ken Jacobson, Deputy National Director, warns about the dangers of weaponizing the Holocaust against the Jewish state.
In an oped for Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day), Ken Jacobson writes about how, despite Zionism’s failure to stop antisemitism, we should recognize the courageous visionaries of the Zionist movement who saw a future for Jews that would enable a people to return home after 2,000 years, and would provide the opportunity for a fulfilling future in their historic homeland.
ADL strongly condemned the violence towards Palestinians by Jewish extremists in the West Bank village of Duma, and said the Israeli government must take more meaningful action to identify those responsible and bring them to justice, and work to prevent additional attacks.
ADL welcomed the Jordanian government’s decision to ban the Muslim Brotherhood from the Kingdom.
ADL condemned violent riot at a Reform synagogue in Ra'anana, which was screening a live feed from the annual Israeli-Palestinian Memorial Day ceremony, and called on Israeli authorities to hold those responsible accountable.

ADL welcomed Paraguay’s decision to designate the Iranian regime’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, as well as the expanded designations of Hamas and Hezbollah to include the entirety of both organizations.
ADL condemned the Colombian government’s appointment of Richard Gamboa, an allegedly fake rabbi, as Director of Religious Affairs at the Ministry of the Interior.
ADL denounced antisemitic attacks against Chilean Senator Jaime Quintana, who faced online harassment and hate after publishing an article criticizing the Chilean government’s inaction in addressing antisemitism.

ADL mourned the passing of Pope Francis, and praised His Holiness for his dedication to advancing Jewish-Catholic relations and repeatedly condemning the rise in antisemitism and extremism.
ADL expressed disappointment that the UN Human Rights Council member states reappointed Francesca Albanese as the Special Rapporteur on the Palestinian territories. ADL had previously urged the Council’s member states to oppose Albanese on account of her atrocious record of antisemitism and anti-Israel bias.
ADL welcomed the nomination of Yehuda Kaploun as U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, an office ADL has championed for decades.
ADL congratulated Mike Huckabee on his confirmation to serve as the next US Ambassador to Israel. |
