We are devastated by the deadly shooting at the @islamicsandiego. No one should fear for their safety while attending a house of worship or school. Our hearts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the broader Muslim community during this horrific moment. ADL and the ADL Center on Extremism are monitoring the situation closely.

Must listen. @MattiFriedman joins @dansenor to unpack how Nicholas Kristof's @nytimes column on alleged sexual violence committed against Palestinians gets the story badly wrong, relying on sources like Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, which has falsely accused Israel of organ theft and claims dogs are trained to rape prisoners. That kind of sourcing doesn't just discredit a column. It leads people to question sexual violence allegations, doing a profound disservice to victims everywhere. All victims of sexual violence deserve rigorous, impartial journalism. This is not it.

Congrats to my friend @biannagolodryga on this well-deserved recognition during #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth. Through her personal story and her book "Don’t Feed the Lion," she’s helping the next generation find the courage to confront and stand up to antisemitism.

Following an exhaustive, two-year independent investigation into sexual violence on 10/7 and against hostages in captivity, a new report documents the horrific reality: Hamas committed systematic, widespread sexual violence with 13 recurring patterns across attack sites, including "kinocidal" crimes targeting families. The evidence, which includes 10,000+ photos/videos, 1,800+ hours of analysis, 430+ testimonies, cannot be denied or dismissed. jpost.com/israel-news/ar…

Happy Mother's Day, from our family to yours.

We welcome today’s guilty plea by the man responsible for taking the life of Karen Diamond z"l and injuring 28 others in one of the most shocking antisemitic acts in American history. This attack deeply traumatized the entire Jewish community and served as a reminder of what can happen when antisemitism is normalized in society. No act of justice will bring back the life of Ms. Diamond, nor will it heal the wounds of those who suffered as a result of this horrific attack on a peaceful group of Americans. We are deeply grateful for the work of law enforcement and District Attorney Michael Dougherty and his staff for pursuing justice in this case. This firebombing was not a random act. The perpetrator planned this attack for over a year, targeting Jewish community members who were peacefully and publicly expressing their values. This demands a serious response, but the resolution of the state charges is just the beginning of the long road to justice for the victims. As ADL’s latest data reveals, 2025 was the most violent year on record for American Jews since we started tracking this data in the 1970s, and last year saw the murder of three people in antisemitic attacks, including in Boulder. We are grateful to Gov. Polis for his partnership in securing additional Non-Profit Security Grant funding to help keep our communities safe, and we are working with individuals, families, schools and elected officials to confront antisemitism every single day.

It's clear there are two eras: pre-Oct 7th and post-Oct 7th. And in 2025, the numbers were still 70% higher than they were in 2022, before the Oct. 7th Hamas massacre. American Jews Report feeling unsafe in the communities where they've lived for generations, even centuries.

Today, the man responsible for taking the life of Karen Diamond z"l and injuring 28 others in the violent antisemitic attack in Boulder, Colorado last June plead guilty in a court of law. The firebombing deeply traumatized the entire Jewish community and served as a reminder of what can happen when antisemitism is normalized in society. Yesterday, Ed Victor, one of the survivors of the attack, joined our #ADLAudit Briefing to share his story from that day.

Today, the man responsible for the devastating antisemitic attack in Boulder was sentenced to life in prison. While this won't bring back Karen Sorin Diamond, alleviate the pain of the injured, or make up for the devastation he caused a community, this was a step toward justice.

ADL's 2025 Audit shows that there were 600+ antisemitic incidents at synagogues last year. Worshippers have been harassed and intimidated at the doors of their sacred spaces. The bipartisan SACRED Act would establish federal protections. Urge your Representative to co-sponsor: action.adl.org/a/audit-safe-w…

ADL recorded a total of 6,274 incidents of antisemitic assault, harassment and vandalism across the U.S. in 2025. That's an average of 17 incidents per day, which is more than double the average of 8 incidents per day between 2020 and 2022.

“Anti-Semitism has been incredibly normalized in our society over the years, the kind of the language, the rhetoric, the so-called microaggressions,” ADL Michigan Regional Director Elyssa Schmier said. @midmichigannow midmichigannow.com/news/local/aud…

Our 2025 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in the U.S. revealed 2025 was one of the most violent years for American Jews. There were an average of 17 antisemitic incidents per day, and for the first time since 2022, antisemitism incidents turned deadly. This is a new and darker normal that should not be acceptable.

While our 2025 Audit reveals a decrease in overall incidents, it also shows that no U.S. state was spared from antisemitism. Antisemitic incidents occurred in all 50 states and the D.C., with the highest levels of incidents occurring in NY (1,160), CA (817) and NJ (687).

These findings, coupled with what we experienced in West Bloomfield on March 12, make it easy to see why Jewish Michiganders feel less safe.”

“We’ve seen escalating violence and extreme acts of hate directed toward the Jewish community in our houses of worship and where children and young adults go to learn.
