Global Jewish human rights organization confronting antisemitism and hate, protecting the safety of Jews and Israel, and teaching the lessons of the Holocaust.
SWC calls for an independent investigation after 44 Jewish children and a counselor were removed from a #Vueling flight—allegedly for singing in Hebrew. The counselor was violently pinned down and arrested. “If this wasn’t antisemitism, then there should be no hesitation in…
We stand with our partners at @CSWLatAm in condemning @LulaOficial’s decision to withdraw #Brazil from the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (@TheIHRA), where it had served as an observer since 2021.
Without an official announcement, @simonwiesenthal confirmed the measure that exposes @LulaOficial without a mask. He never felt comfortable at @TheIHRA, gradually reducing participation until it disappeared at the last plenary session in June. Withdrawing Brazil from the…
Thank you @StephaneVojetta, for standing up for the Jewish children removed from the @vueling flight and for calling out Spain’s Transport Minister (@oscar_puente_) for labeling them “Israeli brats.” We join your call for answers and demand a full investigation into this…
Caught on camera by the @IDF: Hamas terrorists feasting in underground tunnels, parading their food. Meanwhile, Israel is demonized and accused of starving Gazan residents. As #Hamas leaders dine in comfort, they are hoarding food and supplies, knowingly making their own people…
The Simon Wiesenthal Center supports the U.S. decision to sanction UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese (@FranceskAlbs) for spreading antisemitism and targeting Israel. View images to see how she: ❌ Justifies the October 7 Massacre ❌ Denies Israel’s right to…
The #Pentagon has just awarded $200 million in contracts to various AI platforms, including Elon Musk’s company @xai, which developed the @grok chatbot. Just last week, #Grok generated a tirade of antisemitic content glorifying Hitler and spreading hate against Jews. According…
The National Education Association’s (@NEAToday) resolution attacking @ADL is more than misguided—it erases the legacy of Jewish educators who helped build the labor movement & public schools. The SWC stands with #ADL. Antisemitism harms all of us. History demands better.
The antisemitic ravings unleashed by Grok—praising Hitler, mocking the Holocaust, and regurgitating hateful stereotypes—are shocking but not surprising. @grok "learns” by absorbing content from X, a platform increasingly saturated with antisemitism and other forms of malice.…
Masha Gessen's @NYTimes piece gets antisemitism wrong. Here's why: bit.ly/NYtimesAntisem…
The appearance of age-old antisemitic slurs in the highest level of govt cannot pass. The infamous Shylock trope is an ugly misrepresentation of Jews as greedy villains preying on society, and the Simon Wiesenthal Center roundly condemns the brandishing of such vile insults by…
The Nysmith School for the Gifted has reportedly expelled three Jewish siblings (11-year-old twin sisters & their 8-year-old brother) after their parents reported ongoing antisemitic harassment that included students bullying their children, praising Hitler & mocking Holocaust…
Statement from Jim Berk, CEO, Simon Wiesenthal Center, on #Glastonbury Festival and BBC Broadcasting Antisemitic Incitement. What happened on the stages of Glastonbury yesterday was not just disgraceful; it was sickening, dangerous, and chillingly reminiscent of a modern-day…
Fifty hostages are still being held captive by Hamas in Gaza. Only twenty-three are presumed to be alive. Some have been imprisoned in tunnels without daylight for 629 days; starved, tortured, and enduring the unimaginable. The world must not forget them. #BringThemHomeNow.
