Happy 10th Anniversary to Jonathan: Over the past decade, our CEO Jonathan Greenblatt has led the ADL community through difficult times and pivotal moments. Please enjoy this short video showing moments from those 10 years — from grassroots advocacy to global impact.
Reducing Hate Speech in Online Games: ADL released a new report, “The Price of Hate in Online Games,”
which finds that gaming companies may be losing players when they don’t effectively moderate hate and harassment. Exposure to that kind of hate speech, including antisemitic content, racism, misogyny and white supremacy, is widespread. We applaud major developers EA and Take-Two for engaging with ADL and our JLens affiliate to more effectively address hate speech and extremism. These are steps in the right direction. Read the new report here, and

Sergey Brin Spoke the Truth:
When Google co-founder Sergey Brin spoke out against a biased UNHCR report that accuses companies doing business with Israel of “aiding genocide” in Gaza, he demonstrated the kind of corporate courage that’s desperately needed in today’s climate of rising antisemitism and moral confusion. JLens Managing Director Ari Hoffnung writes that Brin offers conviction that should be an inspiration to other leaders to refuse to legitimize voices that demonize the world’s only Jewish state.
Backgrounder on “Free Palestine” slogan:
The slogan “Free Palestine” has long been used at rallies, online and graffitied by those advocating on behalf of Palestinian rights. Since 10/7, the slogan has been regularly used by anti-Israel activists and organizations. In numerous instances, it has been directed maliciously at Jews and others.

Key ADL-Backed Provisions Included in Defense Bill:
The U.S. House Armed Services Committee passed its version of the National Defense Authorization Act. This annual bill sets policies and funding levels for the U.S. military and national defense programs. Two ADL-backed amendments were successfully included: a public audit of the Department of Defense’s antisemitism training programs and a report on the role of antisemitism in violent extremist movements. These measures represent important steps toward ensuring that all who serve in our armed forces can do so in an environment that is safe, inclusive and aligned with core American values.
