This Week’s Topline

March on Washington reaffirms allyship among marginalized communities

This past Saturday, the ADL community led Jewish communal participation in the 60th Anniversary of the March on Washington as a co-chair of the event with the King family and other leaders from the civil rights movement. Together with thousands of other activists, we showed unwavering support for our partners in the fight for democracy, social justice and civil rights.

As ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt told the crowd from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, “For more than a century, ADL has believed fiercely that you can’t fight antisemitism without countering racism and hate against other groups. We do so because we know: communities will never be safe unless we’re all safe. Our country can’t live up to its promise if one group is denigrated or dehumanized or made to live in fear."

As the nation reckons with bigotry, hate and threats to our democracy, ADL Rabbinic Fellow Rabbi David Wolpe reminded the attendees to stay positive as together we continue the pursuit of the dream: “We still believe in the promise of this moment and of this place: That antisemitism, racism, all sorts of hatred and bigotry, that it can be overcome.”

WHO YOU KNOW MATTERS: In its report focusing on the environments through which antisemitic and anti-Israel attitudes spread, the ADL Center for Antisemitism Research encouragingly found that most respondents (70%) have at least one friend or family member that likes Jews, and only about a fifth (19%) of respondents have one or more friend or family member who dislikes Jews. A smaller, though still significant, proportion of respondents have at least one person in their online social network who dislikes Jews (12%). Researchers found that the number of one’s friends and family who like or dislike Jews was strongly associated with one’s anti-Jewish attitudes.

IN THE NAME OF ANTISEMITISM AND HATE: As part of its reporting on online hate and harassment, the ADL Center for Technology and Society (CTS) investigated hateful usernames in online games, which should be the easiest content for companies to moderate. Despite game companies having policies prohibiting hate, researchers at CTS were easily able to find usernames in five categories of hate (antisemitism, misogyny, racism, anti-LGBTQ+ and ableism), as well as examples of obvious white supremacist terms, across five popular online multiplayer games. Online hate like this is one of the reasons ADL advocated for policies blocking antisemitism and other forms of hate online, which the White House

CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND OVERLAPPING IDEOLOGIES: An ADL investigation into social media accounts that appear to belong to the suspect in the California anti-LGBTQ+ murder shows that, in addition to promoting popular conspiracy theories demonizing the LGBTQ+ community, the alleged shooter also embraced other hateful ideologies, including antisemitism. He posted antisemitic and anti-Israel content online and frequently shared videos claiming that Israel is full of “Zionist criminals” and “occupation terrorists” upholding an “apartheid state.” This overlap in hateful ideologies is not uncommon.

Take Action Today

None of our communities will be safe until we are all safe. You can make a difference right now by demanding that your U.S. Senators fund the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to protect our houses of worship, community centers, Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other nonprofits. The need for funding has dramatically outpaced the funding — and continues to grow, but now the Senate Appropriations Committee has proposed shrinking the program.

Call on your members of Congress not to cut security grants to houses of worship.

Early reports show that the Jacksonville shooter’s writings contained racist, antisemitic & anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric. This tragedy is a sad reminder of why we marched on Washington again. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us — that’s why it’s crucial to continue to stand together to fight against hate.

I stood at the site of the Jedwabne massacre, mourning the hundreds of Jews who were burned in a barn there by their Polish neighbors in 1941. Holocaust revisionism insults the victims’ memories and damages Poland’s reputation in the Jewish community.
