ADL Devastated by Attack on Kosher Jewish Supermarket in Jersey City

ADL Welcomes Executive Order Combating Anti-Semitism
ADL welcomed the Executive Order issued on December 11th indicating that the Trump Administration will interpret a key federal statute prohibiting discrimination in programs receiving federal financial assistance to encompass anti-Semitic conduct.
“In a climate of rising anti-Semitism, this Executive Order provides valuable guidance on anti-Semitism, giving law enforcement and campus officials an important additional tool to help identify and fight this pernicious hate. It also reaffirms protection of Jews under Title VI without infringing on First Amendment rights. These are all important steps forward," said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.
