For years @TuckerCarlson slyly wove anti-Jewish conspiracies into his show on @FoxNews — attacking George Soros, slandering Paul Singer, and making other unfounded claims. Now the mask is fully off. 🧵
He opened his new “show” on @Twitter by describing Zelensky as "sweaty and rat-like" and "a persecutor of Christians." Complete lie. Even if you disagree with US foreign policy, invoking antisemitic imagery and tropes is a perverse and prejudicial way to build a case.
Tucker scared major advertisers off FOX Primetime for years. He traded in conspiracies. He appealed to cranks. Now this — at a time when #antisemitism is surging in America and around the world.
If @lindayacc wants to attract Fortune 500 advertisers and @elonmusk wants to create a genuine public square, it might be wise not to give this obvious antisemite such a huge megaphone. Let Tucker and his ilk push their hate somewhere else.

🧵 As the leading organization fighting #antisemitism, @ADL welcomes the @WhiteHouse's partnership in releasing a National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism later this month. To succeed, we believe the strategy must be comprehensive and do the following:
- Address antisemitism across the political spectrum
- Include @TheIHRA definition as an indispensable tool for identifying & combating the many forms of antisemitism
- Combat antisemitism on college campuses & protect Jewish students
- Recognize & confront online antisemitism
- Improve hate crime reporting
- Protect the physical security of Jewish community institutions through support for at least $360 million for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program
- Ensure a robust @StateSEAS office with suitable staffing and resources

At #NLS2023 today, I spoke about building a future for the next generation of Jews in America. Ultimately, it comes down to this: we must come together and do the work. adl.org/resources/news… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
We at @ADL are committed to doing the work of fighting #antisemitism – gathering data, taking action, holding people accountable, stopping hate before it escalates to violence and supporting those responding to hate-fueled attacks.
This work is hard – but we are always thankful for the voices in our government and across every sector who stand up to stop #antisemitism and protect Jewish communities.

Yet again, #WhoopiGoldberg’s comments about the Holocaust and race are deeply offensive and incredibly ignorant. When she made similar comments earlier this year, we explained how the Nazi regime was inherently racist. 🧵Read on...
The Nazis set out to exterminate the Jewish people, whom they viewed as inferior to the mythical “Aryan master race.” They used pseudo-scientific theories of race to justify their anti-Jewish "race laws" and systemic slaughter of millions.
It's no coincidence that white supremacists in the US today echo the Nazis’ “master race” claim as they spread their antisemitic and racist hate.

Today's guilty verdicts for Stewart Rhodes and other #OathKeepers who played a key role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol sends an indisputable message that extremism does not pay and that you cannot undermine American democracy.
The fact that the jury found Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy -- a difficult charge to prove -- shows the tremendous weight of evidence against him. This is a *crushing* blow to the Oath Keepers, one of the largest and most dangerous armed militias in the US.
The Oath Keepers, who claim to uphold an "oath" to the Constitution, attempted to trample on that very document on January 6th in a brazen attack on the U.S. Capitol to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

For @elonmusk to allow Donald Trump back on Twitter, ostensibly after a brief poll, shows he is not remotely serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and misinformation.
As we've said before, Trump used Twitter to foment intolerance, issue threats and incite a violent attack against the US government. Moreover, he has shown no indication that he would do anything different if given the opportunity.
When @ADL and other #StopHateforProfit leaders met with Elon Musk on 11/1, he committed to not replatform anyone, regardless of stature, until he installed a transparent, clear process that took into consideration the views of civil society.

It took just two days for @adidas to (rightfully) take action against @WestHam's Kurt Zouma for hitting cats. Yet weeks of virulent #antisemitism from @kanyewest has resulted in silence. Join us in demanding @adidas #RunAwayFromHate. Contact them here: adl.salsalabs.org/runawayfromant…
When Teyana Taylor cyber-bullied @rihanna, @adidas dropped her saying, “We evaluate our relationships with partners based on the values we hold.” What values does adidas have that keep you partnering with Kanye and his rabid #antisemitism? bet.com/article/v9ic1h…
What are @adidas’ values when they ignore #antisemitism from @kanyewest? Especially when @adidas has a Nazi past. The founders were Nazis, supported the Hitler Youth movement, built Nazi anti-tank weapons in their factory, & signed letters “Heil Hitler.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Das….
