The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith,[a] is a New York–based international non-governmental organization and pro-Israel advocacy group[4][5][6][7] that was founded to combat antisemitism, bigotry and discrimination.[8]

It was founded in late September 1913 by the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish service organization, in the wake of the contentious murder conviction of Leo Frank. ADL subsequently split from B'nai B'rith and continued as an independent US section 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its current CEO is Jonathan Greenblatt. ADL headquarters are located in Murray Hill, in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The ADL has 25 regional offices in the United States[9] including a Government Relations Office in Washington, D.C., as well as an office in Israel and staff in Europe.[10] In its 2019 annual information Form 990, ADL reported total revenues of $92 million, the vast majority from contributions and grants.[11] Its total operating revenue is reported at $80.9 million.[12]

In an early campaign, ADL and allied groups pressured the automaker Henry Ford, who had published virulently antisemitic propaganda.[13][5] In the 1930s, ADL worked with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) to oppose pro-Nazi activity in the United States.[14][6] It opposed McCarthyism during the Cold War,[5] and campaigned for major civil rights legislation in the 1960s.[5][6] In the 1980s, it was involved in propaganda against Nelson Mandela of South Africa before embracing him the following decade.[15][16]

As a pro-Israel group, the ADL has received criticism, including from members of its own staff, that its advocacy for Israel and promotion of the concept of new antisemitism, which includes anti-Zionism, replaced the organization's historical fight against antisemitism.[17][18][19][20][21] In 2024, the community of English Wikipedia reached a consensus that the ADL was not a reliable source of information regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The organization also received criticism for not recognizing the Armenian genocide, calling it a "massacre", until 2007, when it affirmed recognition and apologized.

In the United States, one the strongest promoters of various installments of the 'new antisemitism' thesis has been the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) which in 1974 published a book entitled The New Anti-Semitism.

The ADL responded to these critiques as they came, but also in a cohesive way through a new book by Forster and Epstein titled The New Anti-Semitism, which would be their most important and best-selling publication.98 Like their previous books, The New Anti-Semitism stitched together a list of types of antisemitic threats, which had grown in length. In contrast to prior books focused on the far right and Arab propagandists, The New Anti-Semitism included the right-wing threat alongside threats that emanated from "The USSR, Western Europe, Latin America," and included "the Radical Left," "Arabs and Pro-Arabs," and Black Americans. Taken collectively, this bundle of threats, taken to include anti-Zionism, has been called the "New Anti-Semitism" from the book's publication onwards.
