@mroctober showing up in November! Thank you, Reggie Jackson, for standing with Philly's Jewish community, speaking out against the boycott of Jewish and Israeli-owned businesses and making it clear that antisemitism and all forms of hate are unacceptable.

[Reggie Jackson @mroctober]

It is heartbreaking to see antisemitism in my hometown. I was born in Wyncote, near Philadelphia, and it makes me angry and ashamed to see hatred tolerated there.

The numbers show this is not an abstract concern. The Anti-Defamation League recorded 465 antisemitic incidents across Pennsylvania in 2024, an 18% increase over 2023. It tracked 189 incidents in Philadelphia and 51 in Montgomery County. These reports include harassment, vandalism, and assault; they are not all classified as crimes. (https://t.co/LNbuEF4lCN, https://t.co/VD98Hg5XEp)

Hateful expression harms more than its immediate target. In a 2025 survey of Jewish Americans, 79% said they were concerned about antisemitism, and 52% said they had worried about their personal safety because of their identity. Nearly half reported taking steps to increase their security. A research review also found that exposure to hate is associated with worse psychological well-being, more negative stereotypes, and less trust between groups. (https://t.co/VD98Hg5XEp, https://t.co/YJT6NcR4VF)

It takes me back to the racism I experienced in the 1960s: signs throughout the South declaring that Black people could be refused service, along with separate “white” and “colored” signs on bathrooms and drinking fountains,”no niggers”. I remember what that hatred looked and felt like. We cannot accept it in any form, directed at any people.

I wish I could be there to stand with those protesting HATE. I am asking elected officials and other leaders in Philadelphia: Where are the clear statements condemning antisemitism? When hateful language is excused or repeated, it can make hostility seem acceptable and deepen fear and division. Leaders should speak plainly and consistently: antisemitism and hate have no place in our communities.

What the hell? We have to speak up.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Holocaust survivor Eva Geller z"l, who was seriously injured in the Bondi Beach Hanukkah massacre last December. She reportedly died from complications stemming from her injuries.

Our hearts are with her family and loved ones as they mourn this devastating loss. May her memory forever be a blessing. https://t.co/jIuoZNj3UP

"[Y]ou and your kids go in the oven..."

That was one of nine voicemails left for Hawaii Governor @GovJoshGreenMD. The man who left them has pleaded guilty to cyberstalking.

Grotesque Holocaust references and violent antisemitic threats should never be something Jewish elected officials have to contend with. We commend law enforcement for prosecuting this case.

Debate over U.S. foreign policy, including America’s relationship with Israel, and its effect on the midterm elections is entirely legitimate. However, only 4% of voters rated foreign policy as their primary concern. When leaders like Vice President JD Vance and commentators ignore the data and instead choose to assert that voter behavior was about Israel, it’s not just a deeply flawed analysis but can be weaponized to assign collective blame to Jewish Americans for policy decisions or political outcomes.

Antisemitism is rising and drawing energy from extremes of both sides of the political spectrum. Israel is neither diverting federal resources away from our communities nor the reason groceries are more expensive. Hostility toward the Jewish state too often has become a fig leaf for targeting, scapegoating, and excluding Jewish Americans.

Elected officials in both parties have an obligation to engage responsibly, to challenge rhetoric that blames Israel or the Jewish people for America’s political outcomes, and to bring our country together. Now is the time.

Across the arts, Jewish and Israeli artists are facing exclusion, cancellations and boycotts simply because of their identity or nationality.

Yet our State of the Arts research reveals a striking disconnect between these institutional decisions and the attitudes of the American public.

@JGreenblattADL examines this divide and more, including the growing normalization of antisemitism in cultural spaces and how ADL is working to expose and combat this discrimination.  https://t.co/JJWCcgwhis

Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin z”l was assassinated #OnThisDay in 1995 amid a climate of dangerous rhetoric and incitement.

Moments before his murder, Rabin sang “Shir LaShalom” (A Song for Peace) at a peace rally. The bloodstained lyrics were later found in his pocket. 31 years later, that haunting image reminds us of the dangers of extremist rhetoric and the importance of Rabin’s legacy of hope and peace.

May his memory forever be a blessing.

Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) marked a violent turning point in the history of the Holocaust. But it didn't come out of nowhere. What was the lead-up to the pogrom itself? How and why did it happen?

Yesterday ushered in a new political chapter in Washington, DC and across the country. This was a historic election, as voters broke longstanding barriers and expanded representation, reflecting the growing diversity of American public life.

This election season also underscored the dangers of portraying Jews as dangerous, disloyal or responsible for society’s problems, as well as the blatant fixation on and demonization of Israel. Such antisemitic rhetoric and scapegoating fuels hatred and can lead to harassment, threats and violence. In too many places, Jewish Americans’ concerns about this were overshadowed by competing priorities or dismissed outright.

As leaders transition from campaign to governance, elected leaders have a responsibility to foster an environment in which Jewish Americans, like all Americans, can fully participate in public and civic life without being subjected to special litmus tests, having their identity questioned, or being made to feel that their connection to Israel is incompatible with their place in American society.

Leaders in both parties must have the courage to confront antisemitism wherever it appears, including within their own ranks. ADL stands ready to work with leaders of both parties at every level of government. We will do so by building partnerships where possible, demanding accountability where necessary and never compromising our commitment to Jewish safety and dignity.

Jewish school buses vandalized with “F*** Israel” and “Free Palestine” graffiti.

Anti-Israel activists claim they’re not antisemitic. But when Jewish schoolchildren and their school buses are targeted with anti-Israel graffiti, it’s unfortunately pretty clear — antizionism is just a cover for antisemitism.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Imagine sending your child off to school, only to discover that their school bus has been defaced with swastikas and other hateful graffiti. And imagine having to explain to your child why someone would target them simply because they're Jewish.

@NYPDnews data already shows that Jewish New Yorkers were the targets of 53% of all hate crimes in NYC in the first nine months of 2026. But these aren't just numbers. Behind every incident is a person, a family, a community forced to reckon with the reality of open, vicious hate.

This has become an everyday occurrence. Where is the widespread outrage? Where are our leaders?

ADL's Director of Latin American Affairs @liat_altman presented alongside @JKnoblovits about the global threat of antisemitism to Latin American parliamentarians gathered for the Latin American Forum to Combat Antisemitism, organized by @CongresoJudio in Buenos Aires.

With the global rise of antisemitism, building bridges with legislators of all faiths is crucial to ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to confront antisemitism, respond to incidents of hate and protect Jewish communities across the region.

"I don't really feel safe telling people I'm Jewish anymore," a British medical student told @JewishChron. Another UK doctor describes getting used to security, then getting used to the next thing, until "something makes you stop and think about what has actually become normal."

That's the UK, yet here in the U.S., Jewish doctors, nurses and students tell ADL they feel the same fear, and many hide their Jewish identity. That's why we partnered with @TheAJMAofficial on Five Asks for Hospitals and Healthcare Institutions to Address Antisemitism. Healthcare leaders must act.

To understand the Houthis’ growing regional threat, we must understand the ideology driving it: antisemitism, anti-Americanism, calls for Israel’s destruction and a messianic mission to reshape the Middle East.

Their integration into the Iranian regime’s regional terror network has expanded the reach of this extremist ideology, posing an even greater danger when paired with increasingly sophisticated military capabilities and Iranian regime support.

Antisemitism within the @APA is not isolated; it is embedded in its ranks and leadership.

ADL’s Academic Association Integrity Index helped bring these deep-rooted issues to light, and our findings and sustained advocacy helped inform the @EdWorkforceCmte's recent investigation.

So ICYMI, here's what we uncovered last year. ⬇️

Windows at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom in Montreal were damaged by what appears to be pellet gun fire, the second violent act against the synagogue in under six months.

We stand with @CIJAQC, @FederationCJA and the Montreal Jewish community. Enough is enough. No Jewish community should have to live in fear for its safety.

[Le CIJA @CIJAQC]

Joint Statement from @FederationCJA and CIJA

An incident took place late Thursday night at Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom, where several windows were damaged by what appears to be pellet gun fire. The @SPVM and Federation CJA’s Community Security Network (CSN) were immediately notified, responded swiftly, and are actively investigating the matter, including a thorough review of security footage.

All involved parties will remain in close contact in the coming hours and days to determine the full details of this event. Based on the information we currently have, there is no active threat to the community at this time. Nevertheless, in a climate of rising antisemitism, we take this kind of incident extremely seriously.

While the investigation is still underway, we note that this is the second time in less than six months that Temple Emanu-El-Beth Sholom has been the target of a violent act. Enough is enough; this must stop. The Montreal Jewish community is tired of fearing for its safety and the safety of its children.

We remind all community members of the importance of remaining vigilant. If you see something, say something. Report any suspicious activity immediately to the SPVM, as well as to the Community Security Network (CSN) by calling 514-343-4343 or via https://t.co/4pH52c78aX.
