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

“The Time to Act is Now”
This week the House Homeland Security Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence held an important hearing on the growing threat that anti-Israel extremist groups pose to U.S. national security. The hearing comes amid a deeply troubling rise in violent antisemitic attacks — including the recent tragedies in Washington, D.C. and Boulder, Colorado — and underscores the urgent need for coordinated action to confront this escalating threat.

Oren Segal, ADL’s SVP for Counter-Extremism and Intelligence, testified before the Subcommittee and delivered a clear-eyed assessment of the

evolving threat landscape facing the Jewish community. He pointed out that “the Jewish community in this country is facing not just an elevated threat, but one of the most diverse and complex threat landscapes in recent memory” and warned that the time to act is now.
The numbers are alarming: In the past 12 months, ADL has documented nine terror plots or attacks in the U.S. motivated by antisemitism — this is more than in the previous four and a half years combined.
Oren reminded the legislators that "too many families are asking ADL if it’s safe to be Jewish in public" and on behalf of Jewish communities across the country, he called for our political leaders to take immediate and comprehensive steps: significantly increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) to safeguard vulnerable institutions, expanding investments in community-based violence prevention and holding digital platforms accountable for enabling hate and radicalization.
Demonstrating ADL’s critical role in shaping the response to antisemitism, multiple Members of Congress drew directly from materials developed by ADL, including data from our 2024 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents. ADL is grateful to the Subcommittee for addressing this urgent issue and remains committed to working with political leaders to ensure Jewish communities across the country can live in safety, dignity and peace.

Demand that Congress increase security funding to synagogues. Jewish communities across America are having to make hard choices between spending on prayer books or armed guards. The federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program provides critical funding for synagogues, Jewish schools and community centers to install security cameras, hire guards, and strengthen their defenses. The current funding level falls far short of what is needed, leaving hundreds of vulnerable institutions without protection. We need Congress to act now. We need at least $500 million in funding.

Making Meta Listen to Anti-Hate Concerns from Shareholders: A shareholder proposal designed to hold Meta accountable for rampant antisemitic and other hateful content across its social media platforms — including Facebook and Instagram — is the top ranked human-rights related shareholder proposal of the 2025 proxy season. Introduced by ADL affiliate JLens, the proposal calls for a public report evaluating Meta’s policies, enforcement mechanisms and effectiveness in moderating hate content across its platforms. Ari Hoffnung, Managing Director of JLens, vowed: “Our commitment to combating antisemitism and all forms of hate — online and offline — is
unwavering. We will continue pressing Meta until it delivers the transparency and accountability that shareholders, users and vulnerable communities deserve.”

How Online Platforms Should Boost Moderation: Amid a spate of violent antisemitic attacks, too many online platforms are failing to enforce policies meant to keep users safe, or rolling back rules to the point where they no longer adequately address hate, extremism and antisemitism. Speech that years ago was judged too violent, hateful or extreme for major platforms is now, far too often, part of the public discourse. Two major platforms, Meta and X, have slid the furthest, becoming havens for antisemitic rhetoric and conspiracy theories. ADL is urging these platforms to adopt seven recommendations that would help confront incitement, prevent dangerous conspiracy theories and avoid
monetizing antisemitism or antisemites.

MAKING PROGRESS WITH ADL
Nice Moves By Nevada: The ADL community played a pivotal role in advancing two landmark bills through the Nevada Legislature, delivering powerful progress in the fight against antisemitism and for religious freedom.
Thanks to the leadership and advocacy of ADL,

SB201, which we proudly drafted and championed, was just signed into law by Governor Lombardo. This bill protects the rights of residents in common-interest communities and rental properties to display religious items such as mezuzahs on their doorways, reinforcing the right to express one’s faith freely at home.
We’re also celebrating the passage of

SB179, inspired by two incredible Nevada teens and advanced in strong partnership with ADL. This critical law requires the Nevada Equal Rights Commission to use the IHRA definition of antisemitism when investigating incidents in housing, employment and public accommodations, ensuring a clear and consistent standard to confront hate. We are very grateful to everyone in the ADL community in Nevada who contacted legislators or otherwise helped make these legislative successes happen.
Social Spotlights

@ADLCalifornia
What happened to Manny’s Cafe @welcometomannys in San Francisco is not just vandalism — it’s a hate crime. “Die Zio” spray-painted across the windows of a civic space that has welcomed people of all backgrounds is a chilling reminder of the rising antisemitism in our communities. We stand with Manny Yekutiel and all who refuse to be silenced or intimidated by hate. 👉

If Russia’s government is in fact behind the antisemitic vandalism in Paris last week, it wouldn't be the first time. In 2021, ADL published a report explaining how Putin’s regime & other political actors have weaponized antisemitism for political purposes ⤵️

Powerful words from my dear friend @UNCF CEO @DrMichaelLomax. The shared history of Black and Jewish communities, including the Black Jewish community, “teaches us that progress has always come when we stand together and raise our voices.”

Pure antisemitic hatred. A Jordanian man in Hamburg, Germany — over 2,000 miles from Israel and Gaza — attacked a German man for listening to a Hebrew song in his car. The victim happened to be the commissioner in charge of fighting antisemitism in Hamburg.
