  • We’re Jewish schoolteachers — our union’s vote against the ADL attacks us too

    New York Post ^ | July 9, 2025 | ebecca Kotok and Brenda Green
    As veteran public school teachers and longtime members of the National Education Association teachers’ union, we believe deeply in the transformative power of education — to inspire empathy, build bridges and create safer, more inclusive communities. That’s why we were appalled by the NEA’s recent decision to adopt a measure that would prohibit use of educational materials from the Anti-Defamation League. The ADL’s “No Place for Hate” program, a student-led program aimed at fostering schools free from hate and bias, has been implemented in more than 2,000 schools across the country. It has made a measurable, positive impact on school...

    The National Education Association has voted to break with the Anti-Defamation League, seeking to end a decades-long partnership on fighting antisemitism while offering more evidence that defenders of Israel may no longer have a home on the progressive left. Delegates to the NEA Representative Assembly approved Sunday a proposal to prohibit the nation’s largest teachers’ union from using, endorsing or publicizing educational materials from the ADL, as well as its data, programs and professional offerings. “Educators embrace the urgency to respond to the questions of racism, injustice, and all forms of bigotry,” said the resolution called New Business Item 39....
  • Largest US teachers union cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League over Israel support: ‘Profoundly disturbing’

    New York Post ^ | July 8, 2025 | Ronny Reyes and Carl Campanile
    The largest teachers union in America has voted to cut all ties with the Anti-Defamation League — which called the move “profoundly disturbing” as antisemitic attacks in the US are at a record high. The National Education Association, which is also the US’s largest union with more than 3 million members, approved a proposal Sunday to drop the ADL as an education partner, accusing the New York-based Jewish civil rights group of using the term antisemitism to punish any and all criticisms of Israel. “Allowing the ADL to determine what constitutes antisemitism would be like allowing the fossil-fuel industry to...

    New York City mayoral candidate Scott Stringer has unveiled a proposal to partner with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in utilizing advanced technology to monitor social media platforms for potential antisemitic threats. the New York Post reported. The initiative aims to identify and prevent violent incidents before they occur, particularly during periods of heightened international tensions involving Israel or Jewish institutions. Speaking at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Stringer emphasized the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding the Jewish community. He highlighted that Jewish New Yorkers, who comprise approximately 10% of the city's population, have been the targets...

    Kingsley Wilson, appointed in January to be deputy press secretary at the Pentagon, last year tweeted a neo-Nazi talking point about Jewish lynching victim Leo Frank. The post came amid a flood of far-right social media content by the Trump administration appointee, who previously worked at an organization founded by the architect of Project 2025, the Christian conservative blueprint for a Trump White House. Many of Wilson’s posts, which remain online, reflect antisemitic conspiracy theories. The one about Frank has resurged in recent years. Frank was a factory manager in Georgia who was convicted on thin evidence of killing a...

    Keith Ellison Supports BDS, Admires Louis Farrakhan. So Why Are Jewish Democrats Supporting Him for Chairman of the DNC? In late 1993 and early 1994, Keith Ellison and I were both deeply involved in politics and policy, he as a civil rights lawyer and radio talk-show host in Minnesota, and I as legal counsel to a United States senator. During that time, Louis Farrakhan’s national adviser, Khalid Abdul Muhammad, gave a speech at Kean College in New Jersey in which he attacked Jews, Catholics, homosexuals, and others in the most shocking and violent way. Here’s a sample of what Muhammad...

    Norm Eisen ... is a political operative who has spent his career using the legal system to target conservatives—especially Donald Trump. He is also an expert on color revolutions. Let’s break it down. Norm graduated Harvard Law School in 1991, where he met his good friend Barack Obama. During his time there, he also served as the Assistant Director of the Anti-Defamation League and a research assistant to his teacher Alan Dershowitz. Norm Eisen co-founded Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), a so-called "watchdog" group that claims to fight corruption. Sounds good, right? But here’s the catch: Under...

    An elected official in Pennsylvania has resigned after throwing a Nazi salute in a TikTok video while joking about Elon Musk. Towamencin Township Supervisor Laura Smith had a giant grin in her TikTok video as she said she was “checking in” on friends who are “struggling this week,” referring to the start of President Trump’s presidency. “My heart goes out to you,” she said — tapping her chest three times and raising her arm in an offensive salute, still with a giant grin on her face. Although she did not mention Musk in her video, she was clearly referencing...

    In some EU countries, as many as four-fifths of the population believe in tropes such as Jews controlling the media, the Anti-Defamation League said. Around half of the world’s adult population holds deeply entrenched antisemitic attitudes, double the number from a decade ago, a new survey by US campaign group the Anti-Defamation League has found. In some European countries, as many as four-fifths of adult populations believe in tropes such as that Jews control the media and business, or are responsible for most wars. “Antisemitism is nothing short of a global emergency,” ADL Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Greenblatt said in...

    Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President Trump and his allies. “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to the ADL on X. “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now.

    The University of Michigan has fired an administrator after she was accused of saying that Jewish students should not benefit from diversity programs as they are "wealthy and privileged," according to documents obtained by the New York Times on Thursday. The administrator, Rachel Dawson, formerly worked as director of UoM's office of academic multicultural initiatives. According to the documents and her lawyer, the firing comes on the back of alleged comments made at a conference in March, in which she claimed the university was "controlled by wealthy Jews." Dawson also said that “Jewish people have no genetic DNA that would...

    President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Matt Gaetz as his nominee for attorney general, putting forward a firebrand who has tussled with Jewish groups, embraced an antisemitic conspiracy theory and associated with a Holocaust denier. As attorney general, Gaetz would head the government department responsible for investigating and prosecuting hate crimes, including antisemitism... If he is confirmed to the role by the Senate, he would succeed Merrick Garland, a former federal judge who is Jewish... In 2018, the Republican Jewish Coalition and the Anti-Defamation League both criticized Gaetz, then in his first term, for inviting a Holocaust denier as his guest...

    For days, Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has been dogged by criticism — including from the Republican Jewish Coalition — about his ties to a Minnesota imam who praised Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and once shared a link to a pro-Hitler documentary. Now, the Harris-Walz campaign has responded, saying that Walz has no “personal relationship” with Imam Asad Zaman, the executive director of the Muslim American Society Minnesota, a network of seven mosques, despite appearing together in public events on several occasions. And the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is calling on political leaders in Minnesota to avoid appearing with Zaman...

    Wikipedia’s editors have voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League “generally unreliable” on the Israel-Palestinian conflict, adding it to a list of banned and partially banned sources. An overwhelming majority of editors involved in the debate about the ADL also voted to deem the organization unreliable on the topic of antisemitism, its core focus. A formal declaration on that count is expected next. The decision about Israel-related citations, made last week, means that one of the most prominent and longstanding Jewish advocacy groups in the United States — and one historically seen as the leading US authority on antisemitism — is...

    Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff angrily condemned former President Donald Trump on Tuesday, calling him 'anti-Semitic' for claiming that Jews who vote for Democrats 'hate Israel.' Trump criticized the Biden administration and Democrat Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer during an interview with former White House advisor and now-radio host Sebastian Gorka. 'I really believe they hate Israel,' the former president said about the Democrats. Emhoff addressed Trump's comments during a campaign visit to Omaha, Nebraska, on Tuesday. 'This is a disgusting, toxic, antisemitic thing to say by anyone, let alone a former president of the United States,' said Emhoff about Trump's...

    SNIP Everyone (including this reporter) asks Foxman if he is surprised by the torrent of antisemitism that has seemingly engulfed the globe since thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed the border with Israel on October 7, killing 1,200 people and kidnapping 253 more to the Gaza Strip, most of them civilians. But Foxman differentiates between “surprised” and “shocked.” “After 50 years of dealing with this subject, the answer is no, I’m not surprised — because those of us dealing with the subject professionally understood a long time ago that antisemitism is a disease without an antidote and without a vaccine.

    Congressional candidate Bhavini Patel’s campaign said a planned Feb. 7 appearance at the University of Pittsburgh was called off the night before because of concerns about “disruption." Patel, who is a Pitt alumna, had been slated to speak Wednesday evening as part of an alumni speaker series hosted by Pitt's Frederick Honors College. But she said in social media postings that Pitt had “canceled my speaking engagement citing concerns of disruption and my safety." The university has asked Patel to reschedule the event for later in the year. But she said Wednesday night that, "It saddens me that I couldn’t...
