Earlier this month, Pal-Awda boasted about forcing a Jewish community event out of Queens. Now the group has set its sights on Riverdale, targeting Jewish families in our borough simply for gathering together. Riverdale is home to one of the most vibrant Jewish communities in New York, and its families deserve to come together without fear. Organizing a campaign to hunt down these gatherings and drive them out of our neighborhoods is an attack on Jewish New Yorkers. Pushing anyone out of public life in our city because of their faith is nothing to celebrate, and the Bronx will not tolerate it.

It was a privilege to meet with @M_Fedriga, Governor of Italy’s Friuli Venezia Giulia region, in New York last week. His message was clear: institutions have a duty to combat antisemitism with concrete action — not just words. A true friend of the Jewish people. @WorldJewishCong

The fourth season of Netflix series “The Diplomat,” which premiered last week, paid a tribute to the late Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who was taken hostage by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and killed in captivity. Polin, says Frances Munning, the housekeeper at the US ambassador’s residence in London, battled next to her father as part of a joint British-American unit in the Allied advance through Belgium during World War II. The story is also a salute to Goldberg-Polin’s friend, the late Aner Shapira. “Several people told us about the episode yesterday, but we don’t watch TV, so we have not seen it,” said his mother, Rachel Goldberg-Polin. “It’s striking to know there are many people around the world trying to ensure the stories of the hostages are not whitewashed or erased.” “The Diplomat,” starring Keri Russell, was created and written by Debora Cahn, a descendant of Holocaust survivors who has discussed how her Jewish heritage deeply influences her perspective on global affairs, storytelling, and international politics.

WJC President Ronald S. Lauder met with Romanian President @NicusorDanRO on the sidelines of #UNGA to discuss the fight against antisemitism, his country’s leadership in the EU and at the United Nations, and Romania’s relationship with Israel. President Lauder expressed appreciation for Romania’s longstanding support for its Jewish community and emphasized the importance of continued cooperation to strengthen Jewish life, combat antisemitism and extremism, and keep Israel’s security concerns on the international agenda. 🇷🇴🇮🇱 @GuvernulRo 📷 Vladimir Badikov

In our annual Diplomatic Marathon concurrent with the opening of the UNGA, AJC leaders met with Polish President @NawrockiKn to discuss ongoing Russian aggression in Europe and the challenges facing Jewish communities across the continent Standing with our partners in the EU and Ukraine remains a top priority for AJC. Through @AJC_CE and our institutes across Europe, we continue to cultivate strong diplomatic partnerships to make this possible.

U New Yorku smo se sastali s predsjednikom @WorldJewishCong @lauder_ronald povodom 90. obljetnice organizacije. Razgovarali smo o posljedicama sukoba na Bliskom istoku te o daljnjem jačanju položaja židovske zajednice u Hrvatskoj kroz suradnju s Koordinacijom židovskih općina u RH. ​Kao nedavna predsjedateljica @TheIHRA, Hrvatska čvrsto osuđuje svaku relativizaciju Holokausta. Kroz kulturu sjećanja sustavno gradimo obrazovni sustav koji trajno ukorjenjuje borbu protiv antisemitizma. ​#WJC #IHRA #HolocaustRemembrance

This morning, AIPAC was featured on the @nytimes podcast The Daily. The NYT did not ask us for comment or to verify any of the “facts.” As a result, listeners were subjected to several inaccuracies, omissions, and mischaracterizations about our work and our members. Below are just some of these false claims:

Proud to represent @WorldJewishCong at the @UN commemoration marking the 31st anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide. Guided by the lessons of Jewish history, we stand with the survivors of Srebrenica in honoring the victims, preserving historical truth.

Hamas brutally rules over the Palestinian people in Gaza and it is a designated a terrorist organization by much of the international community. Yet Zeina Jallad legitimizes it as a political party and the elected government. Once again, someone with extreme bias on Israel is being nominated for a UN mandate. It makes a mockery of the @UN_HRC’s credibility, and member states must oppose this nomination.

In 2025, Sweden celebrated 250 years of Jewish life in the country. With antisemitism rising globally, we need to ensure the safety of Jewish citizens and enable Jews to live openly and proudly without fear. We were honored to welcome Stefan Olsson (@Spesam) and Victoria Tiblom (@VTiblom) of the Swedish Parliament (@Sverigesriksdag) to WJC’s New York Office this week, and to have allies in this shared mission of protecting our Jewish communities.

Mamdani’s statement when America kills a dictator responsible for killing 10s of thousands of its own people in the past 2 months vs. his statement the day after October 7

Weird how this condemnation didn't take 24 hours.

If you’d like to learn more about the history of this school and community, I’d be happy to get in conversation with you. The founders are Syrian Jews, and it remains a school of Jews from across the MENA, many who sought refuge here from Syria (Damascus, Aleppo, Qamishli), Lebanon, and Egypt.

What question is @ZohranKMamdani answering!? This is bizarre

The "83%" lie is going viral. Here's how to shut it down, fast.

It's insane to me how Hamas can release cartoonishly evil videos of the type Joker would broadcast to Gotham, and literally nobody that isn't jewish on this app will talk about it

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming representatives of @WorldJewishCong to our Consulate. We discussed shared values, Czech and Jewish roots in New York 🇨🇿🗽✡️, and opportunities to strengthen cooperation across communities—especially in the fight against #Antisemitism.

My Jerusalem-based co-author @saulsinger (+ bro-in-law) makes an important observation: “Here’s an irony: For years, outside observers have been saying that Israel had missed the window to stop the Iranian nuclear program. First, Israel was being told it was too late, now Israel is being accused of acting too early.” We often hear from Israel’s critics that ‘Of course Israel has a right to defend itself, but….’ There’s often a *BUT*. Which means Israel’s supposed right to defend itself is theoretical, because it never seems to be the right time and way to exercise that right.

Next up in the marking of International Day for Countering Hate Speech ➡️ thematic event on "Together Through Sports: Leveraging Football to Counter Antisemitism and Promote Holocaust Remembrance". Together with @GermanyUN @WorldJewishCong @BVB & live now webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1f/k1…

The Iranian regime is the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. If it were to acquire a nuclear weapon, it would endanger the very fabric of civilization. May Israel succeed in its mission to neutralize this threat—for the sake of global security and the future of humanity.
