This Week’s Topline

Groundbreaking Legal Support for Victims of Antisemitism: ADL Legal Action Network

At a time when acts of antisemitism are at record-high levels, ADL is using every tool we have to protect the Jewish people. With the launch of the ADL Legal Action Network, ADL is going on the offensive with an unmatched army of some of the top litigators and legal minds in America.

Lawyers

ADL and the law firm Gibson Dunn are launching this unprecedented, coordinated network to provide victims of antisemitic incidents with access to a free national rapid-response system with 40+ of the nation’s leading law firms, consisting of more than 40,000 attorneys.

ADL lawyers have a proven track record of working with world class law firms to litigate high profile cases and effect real, measurable change. We protect the legal rights of Jewish people, whether in K-12 schools, college campuses, private businesses, public companies, political environments and any other spaces. We represent victims of the October 7th terrorist attack in their ongoing fight for justice. When antisemites and extremists violate the law, ADL will hold them accountable in court.

Through high-impact cases that result in decisive victories or equitable settlements, ADL demonstrates the value of legal action as a powerful vector in defeating and dismantling antisemitism.

If you need help after experiencing an incident of antisemitism, please report it to ADL Legal Action Network.

What’s News

AI-Created Videos and Antisemitism: In a matter of seconds, anyone can now use popular AI video generation tools to create antisemitic and extremist content despite existing safeguards that supposedly prohibit them. In ADL’s test of four AI video generators, the tools produced videos in response to antisemitic, extremist or otherwise hateful text prompts at least 40% of the time. For example, all four tools agreed to generate videos of a visibly Jewish man operating a “weather control” machine—alluding to the antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jews control the weather. Read ADL’s analysis of AI-generated antisemitic videos.


Microsoft Decision Emboldens BDS: In an op-ed, Ari Hoffnung (managing director of ADL affiliate JLens) takes Microsoft to task for its recent decision to disable its cloud and AI services for a unit of Israel’s military. This appears to be the first time the company has unilaterally suspended services to a government under its own policies. As Hoffnung points out: “A company with Microsoft’s global influence does not act in a vacuum. By pulling the plug on Israel to appease activists, Microsoft has shot itself in the foot—emboldening further demands and undermining the trust that sustains its business, a precedent that will haunt the company for years to come.” Read the full op-ed about this problematic decision.


VIDEO: No Place for Hate Kickoff Event: In a powerful start to the year for ADL No Place for Hate (NPFH) schools, students and educators were inspired by Dana Kramaroff, the author of the "Do More Club" and a teacher at a long-time NPFH school. She read aloud from her book, which is a story about how an antisemitic incident turned into an opportunity for growth, allyship and understanding at a school. We urge you to watch the video recording and share it with teachers and parents in your lives; we hope you’ll find it moving and compelling. What is ADL’s No Place for Hate? Through this initiative, over 1.7 million students supported by 190,000 educators learned how to take action against bias and bullying during the last school year.

MAKING PROGRESS WITH ADL

Chefs Against Hate

Cooking Up a Win Against Antisemitism in Chicago: In an extraordinary evening filled with powerful stories, incredible food and a shared commitment to building a more just and inclusive community, the ADL Midwest region hosted Chefs Against Hate earlier this month. Twenty of Chicago’s leading chefs brought their creativity — and their voices against hate — to the table. The event raised nearly $1 million to fuel ADL’s mission at a time when our work against antisemitism is more urgent than ever, while bringing together so many allies and so much delicious food.
