Campus Antisemitism Report Card

ADL’s Campus Antisemitism Report Card provides information about the current state of antisemitism on campus and how universities and colleges are responding. ADL’s Report Card 3.0 assesses 150 schools based on 32 criteria, separated into: ‘Publicly Disclosed Administrative Actions,’ ‘Jewish Life on Campus’ and ‘Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns.' Ratings were assigned under each category that factor into each school’s grade; grades may vary despite identical performance labels due to percentage score differences or qualitative assessments. The Campus Conduct and Climate Concerns category only reflects ‘severe’ and ‘other’ incidents that occurred between January and December 2025. View more information on the methodology.

Comment: I looked up the alma maters of myself and family members and the ratings are consistent with what I've been hearing from those campuses. Each college/university gets a succinct report, but enough detail that you can use the information to search for more through internet and newspaper searches and by contacting the school and/or campus groups as appropriate.

Something very similar takes place within Evangelical Christianity, which envies the Jews but detests Judaism – envies the Jews because they were God’s first “chosen people” and are necessary for the plan of the End of Days; but detests Jewish religious practice because the Jews continue to deny Christ and will convert at the end of days or be damned. ... Philo-Semitism creates the Jews as a universal and therefore poisoned category. ... The same happened, by extension, to the Israelis after the Six-Day War: they were all powerful and resistant and ethical; since then and as international sympathy for the Palestinians has grown, when any given Israeli acts against “type,” all are damned as too powerful, too rigid, too corrupt. The stereotype of “Super Jew” has transformed itself into Jewish “barbarity.”

I got pmd by that one freak blog dedicated to blaming mass genital mutilation on jews not too long ago, and his blog was up for months without anyone doing ANYTHING.

there are literally so many actual skinhead, neo nazi "white genocide" conspiracy blogs that dedicate all of their posts to antisemitic, anti-black, anti-arab talking points. They do not code their language with dog whistles, they speak openly for their desire to rid the world of jews, they do not deny it because why would they need to?

And then they threaten- and successfully doxx those who interact with them, they are putting people in real danger.

Sincerely, what is even the point of this blog if we aren't doing anything to kick these fuckers off the website. I mean half of this shit on this blog are just screenshots of tweets or instagram posts, or comments from randos. Sure, these people are saying disgusting, horrible shit. At what point are we just normalizing it by re posting to those of us who already know its happening, who already agree its horrible.

I feel like this ask stands on its own, and originally just posted it without a response.

But you asked direct question and I don't want to brush that off in case the question wasn't rhetorical.

The point of this blog is the refrain I put on a lot of my posts: "documenting antisemitism." So thanks for helping me do that.

I am not seeking followers, and I'm actually surprised at the number of followers I have. I'd rather people not follow me if the blog is disturbing to them or bad for their mental health. Other than "antisemitism", I intentionally try to avoid tags used by others because I don't want the content to randomly appear in people's more general searches.

Since the existence of this blog is disturbing to you, I hope you don't follow it. I would also suggest you stop interacting with it, since the way in which I'm using it to address antisemitism is not useful to you.

That said, I've heard from people who've told me it has been to them for learning about antisemitism, learning how not to fall for and perpetuate antisemitic dogwhistles, and refuting common antisemitic arguments and tropes, so I'm glad it's useful to those people.

I do think there's a risk of normalization, as well as rage baiting and re-traumatizing people. That's why I have a separate blog for these posts.

genuine question here. you say that jewish people don't have to support the political choices of the israeli state, and that jewish people don't owe any sort of stance on the israeli state because the actions of it ≠ the actions of all jewish people. right? but then, you reblog posts with any genuine criticism of israel from a political standpoint as antisemitic, even ones made by jewish people. so im confused. is just criticising israel inherently antisemitic? because that's what Ive gathered from your posts. and why is it inherently antisemitic to criticize israel but its not inherently racist to criticize palestine? would those not be equivalent?

Apologies for the delay. I don't check this inbox often for reasons that are probably obvious.

First, let's get this out of the way: I don't and never plan to post about Israel on this blog when it's not related to antisemitism. This blog is called "examples of antisemitism," not "examples of reasoned critiques of Israel." If you want to learn about and discuss Israel, the Israeli government, or Israel's interactions with other countries and peoples, there are other places to do that.

I also don't think I've directly stated any opinion along the line of "jewish people don't have to support the political choices of the israeli state, and that jewish people don't owe any sort of stance on the israeli state because the actions of it ≠ the actions of all jewish people" on this blog, other than to say it's antisemitic to demand that random Jews express any opinion on Israel. That's because, again, this blog is not about Israel. It's also not about Judaism, Jewish beliefs, or what it means to be a Jew.

It's about documenting examples of antisemitism.

To answer the rest:

There are good reasons to criticize Israel

But it's antisemitic when it invokes antisemitic tropes

Using antisemitic tropes or antisemitic arguments does not become non-antisemitic when one uses them "for a good reason"

Sometimes people mix reasoned argument with antisemitism. If they say 99 words that aren't antisemitic and one word that is, the post is still antisemitic.

Sometimes people aren't trying to be antisemitic, but they live in a culture where antisemitism is rampant and have unconsciously picked up antisemitic language and views. That language and those views are antisemitic, even if the person is unaware of it.

Jews and people with Jewish ancestry can engage in antisemitism (often for the above reason, sometimes for other reasons: https://youtu.be/0TUHvVvIrck?si=-EpNPVYgOtcjll9u)

Palestinians can also engage in antisemitism. If they do, they might end up on this blog, which, again, is called "examples of antisemitism."

If you can't identify the antisemitic tropes in criticisms of Israel that I reblog, even after reading my explanations, tags, pinned posts, or explanations in the reblog chain, that's likely a you problem, not a me problem. You either aren't reading the post and criticism carefully, or you are choosing to classify the things identified as antisemitism as "not really antisemitic because [whatever reason comforts you]." While I can make mistakes like anyone, I'm not going out of my way to find antisemitism in things, and if I'm not sure something qualifies as clearly antisemitic or containing antisemitism, I don't reblog it here.

If you honestly don't see what's antisemitic about a post I reblog here even after reading the tags etc and thinking about them, you can always send me an ask about that specific post. I probably won't answer quickly, but I will eventually (barring unforeseen death).

Agnostic atheist here. It is of my personal observation that poorly disguised antisemitism has become standard, the norm for some people. It's as if every 100 years the people forget the atrocities of last century and think "Let's blame it all on Jews."

You said it well. Nothing to add!
