Uncovering Threats Against the Jewish Community
ADL Center on Extremism (COE) Threat Monitoring Unit analysts uncovered multiple threats against the Jewish community from a Canada-based X user. The team compiled an alert and shared it with Canadian authorities. Hamilton Ontario Police opened an investigation and, less than a week later, members of the agency's Hate Crime Unit arrested the X-user, charging him with two counts, including making death threats.
Disrupting a Nationwide Swatting Ring
COE analysts uncovered a coordinated swatting operation targeting Jewish institutions across the U.S. Swatting is creating false reports, like a bomb threat, in order to provoke a law enforcement response and create chaos and fear. Partnering with communities, ADL shared information with synagogues and law enforcement, preventing further swatting and providing evidence that ultimately contributed to five arrests.

Educate
ADL believes in the power of education to transform communities. We equip students, leaders and communities with the knowledge, skills and tools to understand, recognize and challenge antisemitism and all forms of hate. We empower and galvanize Jewish people around the world with the information needed to recognize and counter this hate.
Turning a Teachable Moment into New Understanding

Advocate
ADL creates lasting change by advocating for laws, policies and protections to build safer communities at all levels of government and across tech platforms, corporations and educational institutions. We build partnerships and equip Jewish communities and allies with resources and tools to take meaningful action to counter antisemitism and hate.
Driving Institutional Accountability with the Campus Antisemitism Report Card
Seventy-eight percent of the schools assessed in the 2026 Campus Antisemitism Report Card engaged with ADL through webinars and tailored consultations. Many have strengthened their responses to antisemitism and are adopting clearer protections for Jewish campus communities. While ADL tracked a 66% decrease in antisemitic incidents on campus in 2025 compared to 2024, antisemitism persists, as does underreporting of incidents. Colleges and universities, however, have made measurable strides toward creating safer and more inclusive learning environments. Watch the video to learn more.
