It's been 8 years since a gunman opened fire during Shabbat morning services at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, murdering 11 innocent people and injuring 7 others. The attack marked the deadliest act of antisemitism in U.S. history. Today, the heartbreak of that horrific day remains. 11 innocent lives were stolen and an entire community was forever changed. We continue to mourn those so mercilessly taken from this world simply because they were Jewish. May the memories of Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Joyce Fienberg, Irving Younger, Melvin Wax, Sylvan Simon, Bernice Simon, David Rosenthal, Cecil Rosenthal, Richard Gottfried, and Daniel Stein forever be a blessing.

Wikipedia banned editors behind an antisemitic, anti-Israel editing campaign. But nearly two years later, many of their biased edits are still live on the platform. ADL’s new report, Damage Done: Wikipedia Leaves Biased Edits Unchecked Despite Editor Bans, exposes how Wikipedia has failed to clean up the damage. ADL's @orensegal explains why banning editors isn’t enough: Wikipedia must correct the biased edits, address antisemitic bias on the platform, and uphold its own standards of neutrality.

Jewish and Israeli staff inside the UN system have reported antisemitism, exclusion, pressure to downplay their identity, and difficulty advancing professionally. ADL has received such accounts directly from staff across multiple UN agencies. As @_MarinaRos told @JNS_org, a UN antisemitism plan exists and ADL provided significant input, but we have not seen real progress on the ground. Addressing antisemitism credibly means addressing the problems reported inside the UN itself. That is why ADL and the J7 are urging member states to select a new UN Secretary-General who will take this issue more seriously and ensure the resources are in place to address it. See our open letter here: adl.org/resources/press-rele…

A 67-year-old wheelchair-bound shop owner in Berlin was reportedly attacked on two consecutive evenings, starting on the third anniversary of Oct. 7, after he displayed posters condemning antisemitism and the Hamas massacre. One poster read "We will dance again." He says the attackers asked if he was Jewish. No one should be targeted for standing against hate. Berlin national police are reportedly investigating. According to the J7 Task Force, Germany recorded 8,725 antisemitic incidents in 2025, up 215% since 2021. Those who commit antisemitic violence must always be held accountable. timesofisrael.com/berlin-sho…

It's been three years since October 7, 2023. And some days, it still feels like October 8th. May the memory of all those so cruelly taken from us forever be a blessing. Music: Courtesy of JJ Martin

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,200 people and took 251 hostages in the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust. Three years later, the horrors of the October 7 massacre are increasingly minimized, ignored or even justified. Regardless of one’s politics, the deliberate murder and kidnapping of innocent men, women and children can never be tolerated or justified. Failing to unequivocally condemn the horrors of October 7 ultimately undermines the broader fight against terrorism. More in ADL's Ken Jacobson's latest piece: blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-…

Three years since October 7. We remember the 1,200+ people brutally murdered, those who endured captivity and those who never returned alive. We will keep telling the stories of those we lost. By remembering their lives, we honor their memory and ensure the truth lives on.

Despite its mandate to uphold human rights, the @UN has too often failed to confront the normalization of anti-Jewish hate and prejudice—both globally and within its own halls. The selection of the next UN Secretary-General in the coming months is an opportunity for genuine reform. Ahead of #UNGA81, ADL’s @_MarinaRos explains why member states must seize this opportunity to choose a Secretary-General who will make the fight against antisemitism a central priority of their tenure. ejewishphilanthropy.com/the-…

.@NYCMayor Mamdani’s administration reportedly runs a private Signal chat with ~200 influencers and reporting shows at least one received a paid @NYCSanitation promotion, raising questions about taxpayer-funded messaging outside public view. We know several influencers with this access have pushed antisemitic and anti-Israel rhetoric. For example: Ariana Jasmine Afshar, a fixture at Mamdani City Hall events, has claimed “the Israeli lobby” secretly controls the U.S. government, said Israel “bought” an election and called Israelis “baby killers.” These invoke classic antisemitic tropes, not mere political criticism. City Hall shouldn't be providing a bigger megaphone for this kind of hate. The Mayor’s office needs to release the details of this program, chat and its participants to see what messages and messengers are being promoted from City Hall.
At least 200 people are in the Signal group and their individual followings range from several thousand to millions of followers, according to the researchers, who cited interviews they conducted with group members. buff.ly/Tipbt3q

My experience with the Glass Leadership Institute was transformative. The friendships that I made and the insights I gained into @ADL's mission profoundly shaped my journey. I learned strategies to address antisemitism, concepts that continue to drive and inspire me today. My GLI experience fueled my desire, even years later, to ensure that ADL continues to invest in the next generation of leadership. Applications are open on a rolling basis through September.

Thank you to the members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who have spoken out against Hasan Piker’s hateful, antisemitic rhetoric. As @JGreenblattADL said, “Piker appoints himself an authority on antisemitism, lecturing Jews about what is and isn’t antisemitic while blaming the Jewish community for the hatred directed against it.” We hope more elected officials will speak out. The silence from so many has already gone on far too long. nypost.com/2026/08/25/us-new…

.@DollyParton was a music legend whose impact extended far beyond the stage, including through her lifelong commitment to children’s literacy. Her passing is a profound loss for so many around the world. As fans mourned and reflected on her extraordinary legacy, hateful actors wasted no time exploiting the moment. Within hours of her death, Parton’s Wikipedia page was reportedly defaced with a swastika and the antisemitic slur “Jew lover,” and edited to glorify the perpetrator of the Sandy Hook massacre. Screenshots quickly spread online. ADL tracks the online communities where this abhorrent behavior lives. It's fast, coordinated and it's growing. Dolly spent her life putting books into children's hands, and her unshakeable legacy will not be tainted by the hate that briefly hijacked her page. We extend our condolences to the Parton family and her fans who loved her dearly. thejc.com/news/world/dolly-p…
