From the Frontlines: A Country-by-Country Look at the State of Antisemitism

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast which brings listeners to the frontline in the battle against antisemitism and hate. In this battle, data is critical. At ADL, we talk a lot about how data drives policy. It gives us what we need to approach elected officials, university presidents, community leaders and so many others to say, we have a problem with antisemitism, and here is the proof. Please act. This podcast has focused much attention on the Audit of antisemitic incidents and the survey of antisemitic attitudes which are ADL’s primary vehicles for presenting data on the state of antisemitism in the US. However, ADL is not just concerned about antisemitism in this country. It is a worldwide problem, and we need worldwide data. That is why in 2014, ADL launched the Global 100, the most comprehensive survey of attitudes of people in more than 100 countries towards Jews that had ever been compiled. Since then, ADL has carefully updated many of those country surveys, but we have never gone back and resurveyed all of the countries. On this, the 10th anniversary of the Global 100, and in the wake of 10/7, ADL decided to once again do a full survey. The results were just released, and they are dramatic. The guest on this podcast is Dr. Aykan Erdemir who offers all of the details about thos year's Global 100. He is ADL’s Director of Global Research and Diplomatic Affairs and a former member of the Turkish Parliament. He is also an audience favorite. There are over 130 “From the Frontlines” podcasts in the archive, and his are some of the most listened-to.
