Ireland’s Jewish community may be small, but it is rich in history, tradition and a strong sense of pride.

Today in Dublin, the J7 Task Force had the opportunity to hear directly from community members about what makes their community so special.

At a time of rising antisemitism in Ireland, standing with this community is more important than ever. In just six months in 2025, its roughly 2,200 members reported 143 antisemitic incidents.

Every Jewish community, no matter its size, deserves to feel safe, supported and proud.

Today, the J7 Task Force gathered at Herzog Park in Dublin to stand in solidarity with Ireland’s Jewish community and raise concerns about antisemitic rhetoric and actions in Ireland, against a backdrop of unprecedented levels of antisemitism worldwide.

While Ireland is not a J7 member country, the particularly alarming antisemitic environment prompted us to include a special chapter on Ireland in this year's annual J7 report.

In just six months in 2025, Ireland's roughly 2,200-person Jewish community reported 143 antisemitic incidents. That’s a rate of 65 incidents per 1,000 Jewish people.

As Maurice Cohen, Chairman of the Jewish Representative Council of Ireland, emphasized today, “No Jew in Ireland should ever feel they must choose between being proudly Irish and proudly Jewish.” https://www.adl.org/resources/press-release/j7-leaders-stand-irish-jewish-community-dublins-herzog-park

On the third anniversary of 10/7, as students, staff and faculty mourned victims of the Hamas-led massacre, anti-Israel protesters on campuses nationwide glorified the attack, praised terrorists and, in some cases, vandalized or disrupted memorials.

We documented these disturbing incidents, including over 140 student-led protests, underscoring that despite a decline in large-scale campus protests, the glorification of terrorism and antisemitic hostility remain serious concerns.

Universities must remain vigilant, consistently enforce campus policies and holding those responsible accountable to prevent such incidents from becoming normalized.

Literary antisemitism is nothing new. For centuries, it has targeted both Jewish characters on the page and Jewish authors behind the words. Today, it continues to take new forms. Jewish authors are pressured to shrink their voices. Their work is singled out for attack. And ultimately, those perpetuating this antisemitism act as though they have the right to erase Jewish authors from literary spaces altogether. But they have no such right.

It's been three years since October 7, 2023.

And some days, it still feels like October 8th.

May the memory of all those so cruelly taken from us forever be a blessing.

Three years since October 7.

We remember the more than 1,200 people who were so brutally murdered that day. We are thinking of those who endured endless days, months and even years as hostages in captivity, and those who never returned alive.

The Jewish people have always met devastation with resilience, and that spirit endures today. We will continue to tell the stories of those we lost that day because by remembering their lives, we honor their memory. And by telling their stories, we ensure that the truth lives on.

May their memories be for a blessing.

Last week, we released ADL's State of the Arts, examining the exclusion and marginalization of Jewish and Israeli voices across American cultural life. Now, we're taking a deeper look at one part of that research: how 40 leading U.S. art museums are addressing Jewish representation and antisemitism.

- Nearly one-third of the museums we assessed received our lowest rating of Critically Deficient. Only one achieved the Gold Standard.

And not one explicitly includes Jewish identity or antisemitism in its published diversity and inclusion commitments.

- While 24 of 40 museums actively recognized other heritage months in the assessed period, only one demonstrated recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month in 2026.

Before 10/7, six museums recognized JAHM. By 2026, five of those had completely ceased doing so.

- Many museums have not presented dedicated Jewish and Israeli exhibitions, despite presenting exhibitions focused on other minority groups and nationalities.

In private conversations, curators told ADL they feel growing pressure to steer clear of Jewish and Zionist artists and their work. Some said choosing to show this work could put their careers at risk.

When those deciding what we see on museum walls feel they can't safely show certain artists, entire perspectives go missing from our cultural life.
