A new initiative launched this week by the Anti-Defamation League and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Abu Dhabi seeks to promote region-wide coexistence and opportunities for cross-cultural collaboration and education. Hate crimes in the United States surged 11.6% in 2021, with the largest number motivated by bias against Black people, followed by crimes targeting victims for ethnicity, sexuality and religion, the FBI said in an updated report released on Monday. Americans who hold antisemitic beliefs are significantly more likely to believe in conspiracy theories, according to a new ADL study released on Friday.
Read on for more on these headlines, news you can use to fight hate and the latest info about ADL from around the country.

With antisemitic incidents up across the board in nearly every category we track, and @FBI data now reflecting a 19.6% increase in reported antisemitic hate crimes for 2021, a whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach is needed to address these extremely disturbing trends.
