Good morning and thank you so much for your kind introduction. It is an honor to have an opportunity to speak with all of you today and I look forward to answering your questions after my prepared remarks.

GRADE LEVEL: High School How is Dialogue Different than Debate?
Technology is enabling students to be increasingly aware of news and current events. Along with this increased awareness, we see more and more students becoming actively engaged in conversations around hot-button topics. While students often talk in digital spaces about current events that concern them, they also continue the conversation in person. When disagreements happen in those conversations, what…

Barghouti stated, “Interfaith dialogue is perfectly fine so…
New York, NY, April 14, 2021 … ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) issued the following statement today in response to the charging of former Brooklyn Center, MN police officer Kim Potter with second-degree manslaughter in the killing of Daunte Wright:

It’s one of the goals of Zionism – a normal state for the Jewish People – and this year there’s lots to celebrate on that score
It sure seems like a strange time to be celebrating Israeli Independence Day.
Israel, while doing better, is still in the midst of the Covid pandemic. Israel’s political system remains paralyzed with the choice, after a fourth national election in two years, being between some kind of an unstable,…

April 14, 2021 Don’t talk to strangers. It’s a rule that some parents teach their children from a young age. But there’s one website that encourages users to do just that, and it’s growing increasingly popular among tweens and teens. It is being used in ways that young people and their families should learn more about. Created in 2009, Omegle is a free website that randomly pairs users in one-on-one video chat sessions. The site has seen a resurgence over the past year,…

Man In A Glass Booth: Adolf Eichmann on trial.
This week, we commemorate the 60th anniversary of the opening of the Jerusalem trial of Adolf Eichmann. This event was the most significant moment in the evolution of addressing the Holocaust in the post-World War II period.
At the end of World War II, there was a surge of attention to the Shoah fueled by the first pictures of the liberation of the camps, the…

Dear Ms. Scott:
Last night, in a segment on his program dealing with voting rights and allegations of voter disenfranchisement, Tucker Carlson disgustingly gave an impassioned defense of the white supremacist “great replacement theory,” the hateful notion that the white race is in danger of being “replaced” by a rising tide of…

Cameron Shea, a 25-year-old leader of the neo-Nazi extremist group Atomwaffen, pleaded guilty to threatening journalists and activists with Nazi posters and menacing messages. Coronavirus lockdowns last year shifted some antisemitic hatred online, where conspiracy theories blaming Jews for the pandemic’s medical and economic devastation abounded, researchers reported. The Arkansas Senate on Wednesday approved a stripped-down hate crimes bill…

by: Kenneth Jacobson | April 07, 2021 The Times of Israel It is now 76 years since the death camp at Auschwitz was liberated. As we commemorate Yom HaShoah this week, it is useful to take a look at how the Holocaust is affecting public morality all these years later — and how it is still being abused.
It is both helpful and not helpful to talk about the Holocaust when discussing the disturbing resurgence of anti-Semitism in the world today.
On the one hand, as reflected in ADL…
The ADL Mountain States Region hosted the 2021 Governor’s Holocaust Remembrance Program, featuring a keynote interview with Holocaust Survivor Judith Altmann. This event took place virtually on Thursday, April 8 at 5:30 pm. We had the opportunity to speak with Judy about her experiences during the Holocaust and her thoughts about how her experience shaped her. ADL: Please describe your life before the Holocaust. What was your childhood like? Judy Altmann: I had a…
April 06, 2021 The best-known images from the January 6 rally and assault on the U.S. Capitol largely feature men, decked out in camouflage, MAGA hats and QAnon paraphernalia.
But women made up about 14 percent of those who have been charged in relation to activity that day. This is an unusually high number of women for a right-wing extremist event, which is attributable at least in part to the high concentration of QAnon supporters at the January 6 events, and to the significant number of…

Two years ago, Qatar came under criticism when passages in its state textbooks that contained antisemitic and other extremist messages were made public, including by ADL. While some of the passages that ADL called out have since been removed, a new review of Qatari textbooks for the 2020-21 school year unfortunately confirms that this problem still persists.
After the February 2019 publication of analyses by ADL and the Middle East Media…
April 05, 2021 Update: The Nation of Islam released an official statement on April 6 regarding the attack. NOI attempted to distance itself from the violence, but did confirm that Noah Green was previously connected to the Nation, stating that he “may have attended” Saviours’ Day 2020 and that in late summer of 2020 “he started the process to begin his study to become a member [of NOI], but he did not complete the process.” The press release mourned Green as a …
