When Ken Burns asked every living president to recite the Gettysburg Address in 2013, Pres. Carter shared this story about Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and the Camp David Accords. We are thinking about the President and thought all would appreciate this wonderful story.
Thank you, @johnmellencamp, for taking the time to denounce #antisemitism and imploring other artists in your industry to do the same. Your words will reach even more people while on display at @rockhall for years to come. https://t.co/mfb0Y6kLxV
The ADL is no longer accepting the $500,000 from Kyrie Irving, per the organization’s CEO Jonathan Greenblatt.
“After watching the debacle of a press conference, it’s clear that Kyrie feels no accountability for his actions. ADL cannot in good conscience accept his donation.”
Good for @BrooklynNets. @KyrieIrving has been given ample opportunity to do the right thing, apologize and condemn #antisemitism. He has failed at almost every step along the way. This suspension is well-deserved.
In light of the events from the past week, we commend the @BrooklynNets and @KyrieIrving for listening to the concerns of everyone who spoke out against #antisemitism and taking it as an opportunity to learn and do better.
ADL is deeply concerned that in the past 24 hours, there have been two instances of antisemitic graffiti in the city of Brookhaven. See our statement below:

Ye’s antisemitic remarks were particularly dangerous b/c of his sizeable influence. Youths on social media might respond to his biased views w/ confusion, fear, or even acceptance. ADL has a resource to help turn this controversy into a teachable moment.⤵️ https://t.co/NyL04iqeDm
@bluestein I’ll never forget the emotional reading she did for children at Yad Vashem when she and the Governor went on their economic mission to Israel. One discussion with her and you knew that she had a big, generous heart.
Hey DIRECTV. Are you trying to torture me? For the 2nd time, your tech failed to show up during the 4 hr window you gave me. And this was after you unilaterally changed the appt. from a day that worked for me to a new day. And your Cust. Serv. reps are useless. #DIRECTV
In a disturbing incident, the sole Jewish student in the @mtnbrookhs class reported his teacher for telling students to raise the Nazi salute & was disciplined for speaking up. Public schools should be a safe space not a breeding ground for #antisemitism.

Regardless of intention, any action resembling a Nazi salute in a classroom is unacceptable & disciplining a Jewish student who speaks out against it is reprehensible. @mtnbrookhs & @mtnbrookschools must do more to ensure their Jewish community feels safe. https://t.co/KKwBc0MUHg
