In a letter to Amnesty International, ADL expressed serious concern about the hostility displayed by Amnesty International and its employees towards Israel and its supporters:
"Amnesty USA Director Paul O’Brien, in a speech to the Women’s National Democratic Club, tried to explain why most Jews don’t really feel attached to Israel – contrary to the results revealed in poll after poll – while arguing Israel shouldn’t exist as a Jewish state. The arrogance and audacity is almost inexplicable. Would Mr. O'Brien hector other marginalized communities and tell them how to feel?" | |

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, extremists and antisemites across the ideological spectrum have used the war as fodder for promoting antisemitic conspiracy theories. Emanating from classic antisemites and white supremacists, as well as QAnon influencers and Proud Boys acolytes, classic tropes of Jewish power, financial control and “abuse” of the Holocaust narrative abound online. In just a few short weeks, tens of thousands of social media users have been exposed to these dangerous lies. | |

Each year, individuals with ties to extreme movements and ideologies kill people in the United States. Some killings are high profile and spark nationwide outrage; others may go largely unnoticed except by the family and friends of victims. For 14 years, the ADL Center on Extremism has worked to identify and track as many of these domestic extremist-related murders as possible, and to identify past extremist-related murders dating back to 1970. | |

Last week, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt wrote an op-ed for Forward, ringing alarm bells about the threat that Iran poses to interests around the world.
"The Iranian regime is the single most prominent sponsor of terror and terrorist organizations around the world. Their activities span nearly every continent and they have left death and debris in their wake in countries such as Argentina, Lebanon, Turkey, Bulgaria and even in the US." | |
