Protestors have unlawfully occupied the rotunda of the Capitol today. Our Regional Director @mermirmanweisel clearly stated that these far-left radical organizations do not represent the overwhelming majority of the Jewish community. Read our statement:

- We are deeply concerned about reports that an art and music festival in Williamsburg canceled a menorah lighting reportedly to not โtake sidesโ in the Israel-Hamas conflict. Holding Jewish people responsible for the actions of the Israeli government is textbook antisemitism.
- Thread๐งต: We are disgusted by the actions of Patriot Front today in DC. This white supremacist group known for its flash demonstrations marched on the National Mall carrying banners spewing their hateful rhetoric. (1/3)
- We're horrified 3rd grade students were instructed to re-enact scenes from the Holocaust. Simulation activities trivialize the experience of victims & often reinforce stereotypes. We'll be providing resources & support to help promote healing & education.
- @MarylandHillel, Chabad Jewish Center at UMD, and ADL Washington, D.C. released the following statement today. nbcwashington.com/news/local/antโฆ
- Sunrise Movement DC's refusal to participate in a voting rights coalition because of "Zionist organizations" involvement is antisemitic.Sunrise Movement DC is refusing participation in a voting rights rally because of the presence of โZionist organizations.โ This is the vilification of Jewish nationhood and a litmus test for all who support it. This is antisemitic โ plain and simple. forward.com/news/476921/suโฆ
- Very disturbed to learn about this hateful incident that took place overnight at the TKE fraternity house on GWUโs campus. Weโve spoken with students & reached out to campus PD. We expect a full & rapid investigation.The Jewish frat house at George Washington University was broken into and its Torah was destroyed. They ripped the scrolls apart and threw detergent on it. This isnโt Nazi Germany in 1938. Itโs American college campuses in 2021.
- As Facebook continues its failure to meaningfully address the spread of hate on its platforms we join @NAACP, @slpng_giants, @freepress, @CommonSense and @ColorOfChange in calling for a one-month ad pause for July. Facebook must #StopHateforProfit: stophateforprofit.org
- We are horrified by this reported assault of a Jewish man inside a grocery store in Montgomery County and have been in touch with the family to assist and offer support. @mermirmanweisel
- Very concerning that @SenLouiseLucas received racist & hateful threats. No one should be subjected to this hate. Our @mermirmanweisel spoke w/ @KatieKingCST about the uptick in threats against marginalized communities & trends @ADL is seeing. Full story: bit.ly/3IjYUtI
- Once again, the Jewish community is the target of unfettered hate as seen in horrific messages in Bethesda today. We are working with Law Enforcement to find the source. Hate has no place here. If you have anything to report, please fill out this form adl.org/report-incident.
- In response to the Wednesday night anti-Semitic outburst in Baltimore at a performance of Fiddler - we @ADL_WashDC are dismayed that criminal charges were not filed, and call on the authorities to bring appropriate criminal charges for this threatening and intimidating act.
- At last nightโs @IsraelinUSA Hanukkah reception, a somber event focused on hostages still in Gaza, we were harassed by screaming protesters. Our Regional Director @mermirmanweisel spoke out today about the importance of being a light in this darkness. #BeTheLight #BringThemHome
- Replying to @ADL_WashDCSince 2019, Patriot Front has been responsible for the vast majority of white supremacist propaganda distributions in the US. The group has neo-Nazi roots, and held four large demonstrations in several cities in 2022. We strongly condemn their presence and messages of hate. (2/3)
