Quotable

“We are very proud of the fact that we have such a low level of anti-Semitism —such a low level of anti-Semitism in independent Ukraine, which started its life in 1991.”

— Volodymyr Zelensky, president of Ukraine

“The fight against anti-Semitism is going to require this effort to learn from the past, from ADL’s founders, and from the future, from Brittan Heller [ADL’s new Director of Technology and Society]. It will require diving into the data and forming new partnerships. To move forward, we need to be able to handle criticism, to push back and learn from it where appropriate. We must find new allies and strengthen old alliances. But I am renewed in my great hope that, together, we can win these daunting battles.”

— Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the Anti-Defamation League

▪

“Be proud to be Jewish, and tell the story of your people and the importance of your story. Invite people to Shabbat dinners. There’s something really powerful about being there — that’s where a lot of minds get changed. And find other minorities with similar experiences. As an Asian-American, I find the Jewish-American experience incredibly relatable. Make a genuine connection.”

— Anthony Berteaux, student leader and journalist

Anti-Semitism is the hatred that never dies. Violence that begins with the Jews never ends with them. All of this is true. What’s also true is that anti-Semitism is the oldest hatred in the world because individual people have sustained it in every generation. It cannot be defeated until we look these people and their ideologies in the face.

— Bari Weiss, author of How to Fight Anti-Semitism
