New York, NY, April 6, 2017 … Two new public opinion polls commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reveal important trends among Americans in terms of their views of Jews and other religious minorities.
The surveys reveal that while anti-Semitic attitudes in the United States have increased slightly to 14 percent, the vast majority of Americans hold respectful opinions of their Jewish neighbors. However, for the first time ADL found a majority of Americans (52 percent)…

To the Editor:
My parents came to Israel from Morocco, a country where Jews and Muslims lived together in harmony for centuries. They instilled in me and my siblings a loving humanism that demands we treat people of different race, gender, and religion with equal respect. As an Israeli woman, I inhabit multiple identities…
More than 60 campuses in 25 states targeted New York, NY, March 6, 2017 … White supremacists, emboldened by the 2016 elections and the current political climate, are currently engaged in an unprecedented outreach effort to attract and recruit students on American college campuses. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has cataloged 107 incidents of white supremacist fliering on college campuses since the school year began in September 2016, with surge of activity since January 2017…

New York, NY, January 5, 2017.

Re “Israel and the Two-State Solution” (editorial, Dec. 29):
Regrettably, developments over the last few days will likely worsen the very point that Secretary of State John Kerry identified as the critical hurdle to reaching a two-state solution: the lack of trust and confidence between the parties.
The Security Council resolution and Mr. Kerry’s harsh and hectoring speech…

While we can’t speak for the other organizations who did not attend the Hanukkah celebration sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, it is inaccurate to suggest that all of us “refused to attend” as part of some…

To the Editor:
Your op-ed hatchet job attacking Jonathan Greenblatt’s leadership as CEO of the Anti-Defamation League was not only riddled with errors but predicated on the false presumption that there’s been a shift in mission and mandate under his leadership of this 103-year-old organization. Nothing could be further from the…

To the Editor:
Jonathan Tobin’s characterization of the Anti-Defamation League’s position on U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison fitness to lead the Democratic National Committee is completely off the mark (“The Ellison Tipping Point,” Dec. 2).
We did not, as Mr. Tobin suggests, originally declare Rep. Ellison as “kosher” on his views toward Israel. In fact, while we…

Huffington Post Arabic
Dear Editors:
On November 29, the Arabic version of The Huffington Post, HuffPost Arabi, published an anti-Semitic blog that promotes a preposterous claim of a Jewish responsibility for the death of Islam’s prophet, Mohammed which parallels the Jewish deicide. We decried the article from our @ADLArabi Twitter account as poisoned with religious bigotry.
The article, “&lsquo…

To the Editor:
Andrea Peyser's column notes that "few places of learning are free from threats, harassment and verbal" attacks against Jews, while lamenting that protections afforded to those of the Jewish faith are few and far between.
In fact, Congress has recently taken up this very issue. The Anti-Semitism Awareness Act, which the Senate…

Re “America Must Recognize Palestine” (Nov. 29):
As a staunch advocate of a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I was appalled at Jimmy Carter's latest one-sided account of the decades-old struggle. His bias against Israel--he could only bring himself to talk, at length, about what’s wrong with Israeli policy--is disturbing enough, though not surprising.
Far more…

Re “Volkswagen Parts Ways with the Historian who Chronicled its Nazi Past,” (Nov. 2):
The Anti-Defamation League has found Volkswagen to be a reliable partner in addressing its World War II history and in promoting Holocaust education in general. The Volkswagen described by the Times is not the Volkswagen we have come to know and respect.
Grieger because of the contents of his 2014 article. Yet there is…

Mohammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, raises a number of concerns about Wahabbism and the role it has played, particularly as an ideology that some in the Muslim world blame for inspiring terrorism.
Unfortunately, in making these important points, Mr. Zarif ignores the Iranian regime…

Recent letters published in the Poughkeepsie Journal utilize spurious claims and wild conspiracies to viciously attack Israel and question the U.S. relationship with the Jewish state (“ Police brutality in America mirrors current events in Israel,” July 31; “Israel lobby remains power danger to US,” Aug. 1).
It is absurd to suggest that Israel is responsible for the actions of…
