and hate in NYC, March 3-4, 2025. Get your tickets today, and stay tuned for more to come!
We are horrified and disgusted by the antisemitic messages threatening violence against Jewish students at
@Cornell

Campus & Jewish institutional spaces should be safe for all. We are saddened & concerned by reported threats made against
#NYU
Bronfman Center. We're in touch w/ NYU community & hope they resume activities soon. TY to law enforcement for responding quickly
We are appalled to see such an egregious display of hostility toward "Zionists" (which is how the large majority of Jews see themselves) and Israel in
@CUNYLaw
's commencement address. This is yet another example of why many Jewish students feel victimized on campus.
Today, we remember the four people who were murdered three years ago in an
#hateful
shooting at a Jersey City Kosher market, and the one person murdered by the same extremists a few days before. We will never stop fighting the
#hate
that led to this horrific attack.
📢UPDATE: A junior
@Cornell
University was arrested on a federal criminal complaint charging him with posting threats to kill or injure another using interstate communications. Thank you to the authorities for making the safety of Jews on campus a priority.
A suspect is currently in
@nyspolice
custody in connection with antisemitic messages that threatened violence against Jewish students at

Frightening attacks on Jews in Times Square of
#NYC
this evening. Many arrests made. Working with
@NYPDHateCrimes
and
@NewYorkFBI
, as well as elected officials and the local Jewish community. Violence is absolutely unacceptable.
Disturbing videos appear to show vile verbal assaults and fireworks directed at Jews. Other reports of violence are coming in. We are in touch with law enforcement. While we await more information, let’s be clear: targeting Jews is

We are deeply concerned by video footage that has emerged following reported discrimination against

Alarmed by reported discrimination against

Jews by
@Lufthansa

Appalled by images of a vandalized Sukkah in Carl Schurz Park in
#NYC
this morning. Targeting a premises used for religious purposes during the
#Jewish
holiday of Sukkot is simply beyond the pale. Thankful to
@NYPDnews
for swiftly being on the scene & investigating.
Aware of reports of a stabbing in Monsey, NY at a synagogue. We are on the way to the scene to gather more information and coordinate with law enforcement.
1/ All religious and ethnic groups have the right to lobby for things they care about and media has a right to report on it. At the same time, we need to be sensitive to longstanding antisemitic claims that Jews have power and control over governments around the world. 🧵
Elected officials in New York rarely embrace positions that could antagonize Hasidic leaders, who typically encourage their community to vote as a unified bloc.
"To fight public health crises, we need to work together and not point the finger at already vulnerable minority groups or people."

A visibly Jewish family was asked to leave a

comments made by crew or others.
@ADL
formally calls for a full & transparent investigation
Anti-Zionism isn’t funny, no matter the context. Eman El-Husseini has propagated the antisemitic idea that people are "slaves" to "Zionist capitalism," compared Jewish support for Israel to a “cult," & suggested Ashkenazi Israelis don't "belong" in Israel.
Graduations should be a place for all - not a time to denigrate students’ identities. We are appalled to see such an egregious display of hostility toward "Zionists" (which is how many Jews see themselves) and Israel in
@CUNYLaw
's commencement address. This is yet another example
Saddened & outraged by a series of attacks that occurred in Lakewood & Jackson NJ on 4/8, which culminated in the alleged antisemitic stabbing of an Orthodox Jewish man. We appreciate law enforcement’s quick apprehension of the suspect. Our full statement:
We are deeply concerned by protests that disrupted commuters at Grand Central and Penn Station yesterday. Their calls for violence with signs and chants that included "There is only one solution: intifada revolution” is extremely disturbing and must be called out.
We are thrilled to have such an energized group for the

ADL is working with
@FBINewark
as they mobilize to address this credible threat. We advise that synagogues and other Jewish organizations remain calm and in heightened state of alert.
The FBI has received credible information of a broad threat to synagogues in NJ. We ask at this time that you take all security precautions to protect your community and facility. We will share more information as soon as we can. Stay alert. In case of emergency call police.
Absolutely appalled by an anti-Israel protest yesterday that targeted
@MSKCancerCenter
and accused them of supporting genocide. Protesting patients and doctors at a cancer care center does nothing to promote peace.
This is wrong. Preventing others from speaking is not “free speech.” We are appalled that some students at
#Vassar
repeatedly interrupted
@henmazzig
as he was telling his story to the students that invited him.
Tonight, as I spoke about how anti-Zionists hung my great grandfather in Iraq, anti-Zionists chanted for my death at Vassar College in NY.
(Note: “from the river to the sea” is a chant used by Hamas when they call for the genocide of all Jews)
Am Israel Chai
We are horrified that yeshiva school buses clearly marked in Yiddish could be vandalized in such a way with
#hateful
symbols, especially on the same day that we found two Jewish men to have been assaulted in the area.

Chancellor Syverud for unequivocally stating that calls for genocide have no place on your campus. We hope that other universities will follow your leadership.
Absolutely appalled that a Brooklyn club is hosting an "intifada fundraver" that is being promoted using videos of Hamas's terrorist attack. We thank Rep.
@RitchieTorres
for speaking out and urge others to do the same.
A NYC club known as The End is holding an “Intifada Fundraver,” glorifying the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
In promoting the event, Instagram account features a video of Hamas terrorists bulldozing the Gaza Strip border wall before
The images and language of the
#video
strongly suggest an appeal to anti-religious bigotry, which has no place in our elections. We urge the
#Rockland
#GOP
to remove the video immediately and work to understand why it is offensive.
We strongly condemn maps of NYC that are circulating on social media with calls to "globalize the intifada" in "direct actions" and "operations" zones. This is reminiscent of the Boston Mapping Project and targets both Jewish and non-Jewish businesses and organizations for their
A social media account posted the following headline: “Globalize the Intifada: Zone of Operations.”
It features a NYC map of largely Jewish organizations to target. It describes Jewish orgs as “the enemy of colonized people.” It calls October 7th “a new chapter of struggle.”

1/4 In September 2022, the

On Thursday, September 15, CEO
@JGreenblattADL
made the following remarks at the White House United We Stand Summit regarding the recent New York Times article on Hasidic schools.
Nerdeen Kiswani has a long history of expressing support for violence against Israelis and leading chants at rallies of "Zionism out of CUNY!"

Despite the federal government’s refusal to investigate civil rights complaints from transgender students, NY school districts have independent duties to protect these students from discrimination and harassment:

Threatening to repeat the Hamas massacre of 1400 Jews is not peaceful protest. It's a call to slaughter innocent civilians because they are Jews. This is not just antisemitism. It is yet another example of the dangerous, hate-fueled, antisemitic intimidation we are tracking that
In Englewood, NJ Muslims gathered to object to last week’s unanimous resolution condemning Hamas.
This guy held up a picture of a dead Israeli woman and screamed at Jews:
Sderot, October the 7th. It’s going to happen again, soon!
Then they stole and burned an Israeli flag.
Extremely disturbed by this apparent antisemitic incident in the

This image draws from the worst of millennia-old antisemitic tropes about Jews. At a time of rising

It is appalling that a student at

One month after
@Columbia
suspended its SJP & JVP chapters for holding an unauthorized event that included “threatening rhetoric & intimidation," these groups held a protest in which they chanted for violence & genocide against Jews. This is unacceptable.
It is incendiary and outrageous, especially at such a sensitive time, for any public official to make references to erasing Israel’s existence from the map or denying its Jewish history as well as leveling claims of apartheid.
