THE WEEK'S BIG 3
A new ADL report chronicled at least 30 antisemitic incidents over the past several months that directly referenced Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, whose antisemitic outbursts made headlines last year. Congressman Jared Moskowitz told CNN that Twitter has become a "hate-filled playground" for Nazis and antisemitism since Elon Musk took over in October, a finding consistent with ADL data. And ADL called for Israel’s political parties to work together to negotiate judicial reforms, warning leaders against “intimidation, incitement and threats.”
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.

ADL Calls on Israeli Parties to Negotiate Over Judicial Overhaul, Avoid ‘Threats’
“The Anti-Defamation League calls for Israel’s political parties to work together to negotiate judicial reforms, warning leaders against 'intimidation, incitement and threats.'

'We implore all parties to exert responsible leadership and avoid incendiary rhetoric,' the ADL says." The Times of Israel:
