KEY ADL SOCIAL STATEMENTS

  • ADL will judge @Harvard’s new policy of neutrality based on its execution. But this policy will not absolve the university from having allowed antisemitism to fester on campus, which will continue to directly affect the institution’s core function of research, teaching and learning if the university doesn't do better.
  • Last year ADL documented 1,162 antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools, a 135% increase from the prior year. The time to act is NOW. Contact your school board today:
  •  We are deeply concerned about the violent demonstration yesterday in Mexico City where protesters attempted to set fire to the Israeli embassy. We appreciate the prompt intervention by the local law enforcement.
