Anti-Defamation League Launches Online Anti-Semitism Tracking Tool
The ADL Tracker offers a compilation of recent cases of anti-Semitic vandalism, harassment and assaults reported to or detected by ADL. Incidents that meet their criteria are transferred to ADL’s H.E.A.T. Map, which provides comprehensive statistics on domestic instances of anti-Semitism, extremism, and terrorism, and allows users to drill down on the data by geographic location.
ADL uses various sources for gathering incident reports: Law enforcement, media reports, and reports submitted through ADL’s incident response form, as well as incidents reported directly to any of ADL’s 25 regional offices across the country.
ADL Tracker
“We are making all of our available data on anti-Semitic incidents available in as close to real-time as possible so that anyone can, at a glance, see the activity taking place around the country and in localities nearby,” said Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO. “With anti-Semitic incidents becoming more prevalent nationwide, it is essential that we provide immediate and reliable data to the public. This tool will enable the public to see that we are aware of and tracking anti-Semitic incidents. We urge members of the public to notify us immediately if something has happened that has not yet been reported.”
The incidents on the Tracker may be filtered both by state and by keyword. They include both criminal and non-criminal acts of anti-Jewish vandalism, harassment, and assault. The list is not exhaustive and incidents in the Tracker may be removed if they are determined not credible upon further investigation by ADL.
ADL’s Center on Extremism gathers and analyzes the anti-Semitic incidents. The data ultimately is compiled into ADL’s annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, which provides a more thorough analysis of the annual incident data and the trends it reveals.
ADL has a comprehensive approach to addressing anti-Semitic incidents and behavior, including educating youth to prevent incidents and working with law enforcement to apprehend the perpetrators. ADL works to enact laws to improve federal, state, and local prevention tactics and responses to anti-Semitic hate crimes and all forms of hate violence. ADL partners with law enforcement to raise awareness of extremist threats and train law enforcement professionals to recognize and disrupt potential threats.

It’s really sad that people in other countries have to invent an anti-semitism tracking tool to cease their bad behavior. I believe that everything starts at home and at school. We should teach our children on how to behave well at a young age so they can bring that until they are grown ups. I guess every country has their own social problems. In our case, I’m making initiatives on how to Eliminate Online Sexual Exploitation of Children.
Anyway, this is a great initiative! I love the shirts!
Thank you Karla, I couldn’t agree more. I will look into your initiatives to Eliminate Online Sexual Exploitation of Children. I would love to connect with you on this effort.
Looking forward on creating a better world in the future! Let’s all do our part then
Thank you for reading.
The Anti-Defamation League is an important organization. What a wonderful tool to be able to track such horrible crimes.
Thank you, I think so as well.
Great news to hear! This tool shouldn’t be necessary if people just treated each other with respect. I love your Choose Love campaign!
Thank you. It is a great tool but I wish it wasn’t necessary.
Loved the blog. ADL is much required in our society right now.
Thank you!
These t-shirts are awesome! People need to spread love not hate. It’s a shame that there is a need for this tool in the first place 🙁
Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to read the article and comment.
Thanks for sharing this helpful tool. I agree with Einstein, worst are those who just watch and (take photos) without doing anything, example those harassment on the trains, etc.
Thank you for taking the time to read the article.
Being blind and ignorant to the current troubles and issues are disappointing. We should in unity tackle these once and for all using various means.
I completely agree. #ChooseLove
