On the International Day of Remembrance and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism, we call on the world to remember—and to act.
We must never forget the atrocities Hamas committed on October 7—nor its open vow to do it again.
Kids were shot in their beds. Families were slaughtered. Grandparents were abducted. Entire communities were scarred forever.
50 hostages remain in captivity.
Stand with the victims. Stand with the hostages. #BringThemHome
New images show Israeli hostages — alive, but barely.
Emaciated. Broken. Starved by Hamas.
This should be front-page news. Everywhere.
But it’s not.
Because outrage is conditional now.
If the victims don’t fit the preferred narrative, the media looks away.
This isn’t journalism. It’s moral cowardice.
A French Jewish family was harassed with chants of “Free Palestine” and the father assaulted at a gas station in Italy, simply because their child wore a kippah.
When he reported the attack, police told him to “tell Netanyahu to stop bombing Gaza.”
This isn’t just antisemitism. It’s state-enabled humiliation. When law enforcement deflects blame onto Israel or downplays violence against Jews, it becomes a failure of democratic duty.
We demand a full investigation, disciplinary action against the officers involved, and a clear public condemnation from Italian authorities.
Let there be no confusion: blaming Jews for Israel’s actions is antisemitism. No democracy should tolerate that logic in its police forces.
European governments must act, urgently and unambiguously, to protect Jewish communities and travelers. Anything less is complicity.
We welcome the decision by an Argentine federal judge to move forward with trials in absentia for 10 Iranian and Lebanese suspects in the 1994 AMIA bombing, the deadliest terrorist attack on Argentine soil, which murdered 85 people and injured 300 at the Jewish Community Center.
For too long, justice has been delayed. This ruling marks a significant step toward accountability and an end to impunity.
We stand with the victims, their families, and Argentina’s Jewish community in the pursuit of truth and justice.

Amidst a historic visit to Israel, Argentine President @JMilei just announced in an address to the Knesset that Argentina will be moving its embassy to Jerusalem next year! 🇦🇷🇮🇱
This bold step reaffirms the deep ties between Argentina and Israel and recognizes the reality that Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s government and the heart of the Jewish people.
We urge more countries to follow Argentina’s principled example.

When "Free Palestine" is weaponized—to threaten Jews, vandalize synagogues, and now… to justify murder—it crosses a line.
This isn't activism. It's antisemitism.
We thank @NYUniversity for its swift and unequivocal response to the unsanctioned and one-sided speech at the Gallatin School’s graduation, which falsely accused Israel of committing genocide.
As the school wrote, it’s a shame "that this moment was stolen by someone who abused a privilege that was conferred upon him.”
NYU’s clear denouncement and commitment to disciplinary action sends an important message that graduation is not a bully pulpit.

We thank @CBS for airing an AJC-produced PSA about antisemitism, featuring @BabyAriel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Ginnifer Goodwin, @MODI_COMEDIAN, @EitanBernath, and more.
CBS has made the PSA available to all its affiliate stations during Jewish American Heritage Month.
This is the second year AJC Los Angeles has partnered with the network on this important project.
Our @AJCLatino Political Influencers delegation is in Israel this week. The group started in Tel Aviv, where they had meetings with Jewish and Arab Israelis to learn more about both communities. Then they went to Kibbutz Be’eri and the Nova Music Festival Memorial site at Re’im to bear witness to the October 7 massacres.
The delegation also met with Argentinian-Israeli Luis Har, who was taken hostage by Hamas and rescued a few months later from Rafah. They were so moved by their conversation with Luis that they invited him to dinner later that evening.
@AJCGlobal
The released hostages are suffering from severe nutrient deficiencies, muscle mass depletion, and other critical health conditions.
Most were starved, losing up to 40% of their body weight.
59 hostages are still being held in Gaza.
We must bring them home now!
In this powerful tell-all interview, former hostage Eli Sharabi recounts the unimaginable horrors he endured in Hamas captivity.
Chained for 49 days. Beaten. Starved, surviving on a single bowl of pasta per day.
Don’t look away—Hamas continues to show the world who it is.
Enough! Another case of vandalism against a faculty member at @GWTweets.
This morning, an econ professor’s office was defaced with hateful “eviction notices” that labeled him “a pernicious symptom of the bloodthirsty Zionism permeating this campus.”
Intimidation and harassment are never acceptable. These tactics only serve to freeze debate and scare Jewish students and faculty.

A aggressive mob has taken over a building at Columbia University, demanding “intifada revolution,” which is a call to violence against the Jewish State.
Is Columbia University going to stand by and allow an aggressive mob to engage in a hostile takeover of its property and create a hostile environment for its Jewish students? A university that fails to hold violent agitators accountable should itself be held accountable.
Look at what Hamas did to them—starving, tormenting, and holding them hostage after destroying their homes and murdering members of their families.
This isn’t just cruelty; it’s a crime against humanity. The world must not look away.
The @WashingtonPost’s coverage of Katherine Franke’s departure from Columbia Law lacked balance, portraying her as a victim while downplaying her discrimination against Israeli students.
In a letter to the editor, AJC’s Sara Coodin argues that this kind of one-sided reporting fuels a narrative that vilifies Israel while ignoring faculty obligations to treat all students fairly, including Israelis and Zionists.

We commend @SenJackyRosen and @SenatorLankford, along with @RepJoshG, @RepMcCaul, @RepDanGoldman, @RepBrianFitz, and @RepHaleyStevens, for introducing the bipartisan Holocaust Education and Antisemitism Lessons (HEAL) Act.
On the heels of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we are grateful that our elected officials are reaffirming the importance of Holocaust education in our nation's schools.

Upon returning from Hamas captivity, Amit Soussana bravely spoke out about the unimaginable suffering she endured in Gaza.
Now, she reveals the full extent of the torment: bound, handcuffed, and suspended upside down, she was savagely beaten.
The terrorists tied her up, handcuffed her, hung her upside down, and taped her mouth before beating her with a stick.
One of them - whose own daughter was treated for eye cancer in an Israeli hospital - was especially cruel.
Amit’s courage is a powerful reminder of her strength in the face of unthinkable torment.

On the first day of class @Columbia, radical anti-Israel activists - fully masked with heads wrapped in keffiyehs - entered and disrupted a History of Modern Israel class while distributing flyers calling for the killing of Zionists.
This is completely unacceptable. Columbia must act immediately and ensure those who violate rules face real consequences.
