A weekly wrap of ADL’s reports, updates and analysis on antisemitism around the world.
This Week’s Topline

Unprecedented Global Antisemitism in Largest Jewish Communities
As the world commemorated the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, the J7 Large Communities’ Task Force Against Antisemitism
[link removed]
released a report documenting sharp increases in antisemitic incidents in the seven largest Jewish communities outside of Israel.
[link removed]
The report highlights dramatic rises in both the total number of antisemitic incidents and antisemitic incidents per capita in Argentina, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States — driven in part by the aftermath of the Oct. 7, 2023 terrorist massacre in Israel. The findings were unveiled at a press conference in Berlin.
Marina Rosenberg, ADL Senior Vice President of International Affairs, discussed the need for a global response. “Antisemitism has risen to unprecedented levels in societies where the majority of Jews live in the diaspora. In response to these findings, the J7 Task Force is calling on all countries to adopt and implement the Global Guidelines for Countering Antisemitism. These guidelines will help to support governments, institutions and civil society partners in developing practical policies to ensure the safety, inclusion and dignity of Jewish communities worldwide.”

Antisemitic Harassment Targeting Jewish Members of Congress Spikes: ADL researchers report that Jewish Members of Congress have experienced a nearly five-fold increase in antisemitic harassment on Facebook since that platform’s owner, Meta, rolled back its moderation policy at the start of the year. “Meta bears responsibility for the harm that its recent moderation policy roll-back has caused as it is enabling, if not actively encouraging, antisemitic, hateful and toxic activity on its platforms,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “This hate targeted at Jewish Members of Congress is not only unacceptable, but also a reflection of what all American Jews and regular
users experience online daily across Meta’s social media platforms.”

Campus Antisemitism Report Card. DePaul and Cal Poly SLO cited ADL as a partner in their ongoing work to better promote the safety and inclusion of Jewish members of campus communities. “There is a great deal of work left to do,” said ADL Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties,

adding that the region looks forward to working with Cal Poly SLO to “enable tangible improvements in the campus climate.” By contrast, Haverford’s testimony drew sharp criticism from Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who said the college still “doesn’t get it.” Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) also

weighed in, warning that anti-Zionism can quickly bleed into antisemitism. Haverford’s testimony comes after ADL has waited more than 18 months for a response to our offers to engage, and we remain hopeful as that dialogue finally begins to move forward. You can

Fundraising for Racism: In recent days, white supremacists, antisemites and racists have been supporting a woman accused of calling a Black child a racial slur by helping to coordinate her donation drive and raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have leveraged the campaign to spread hateful talking points and legitimize their ideas. ADL reviewed thousands of the donations that included a name and/or a comment and found that roughly 30 percent included white supremacist, racist or antisemitic content.

Tell Mark Zuckerberg to Keep Hate Off Facebook and Instagram. Earlier this year, Meta took down guardrails meant to protect users from hate and disinformation. According to
[link removed]
ADL’s report noted above in this newsletter, one result is that antisemitic harassment targeting Jewish Members of Congress increased substantially on these platforms after this policy change. The Jewish community and other marginalized groups will continue to face increased harassment and threats if things don’t change. Join ADL in demanding that Mark Zuckerberg reinstate guidelines meant to protect users from disinformation and hate.

Ye’s crusade to normalize Nazi language poses a serious threat to our society. Join ADL in urging @Spotify to remove Ye’s new song that romanticizes Nazism and hails Hitler. This isn’t harmless self-expression. Hate speech disguised as art is still hate.

Masked and ready to cause chaos, dozens of anti-Israel protesters flooded @Columbia’s Butler Library — during finals week — directly interfering with students’ ability to study for exams. Vandalizing property and using physical force to push past public safety officers — all while screaming “globalize the intifada” — a clear call for violence against Israelis and Jews. This shouldn’t be happening. Have we learned nothing from last year?
