ADL looks back with pride on our long time support for the Jewish state, and remains committed to working towards a secure, peaceful, Jewish and democratic state. We are inspired by what Israel has built and accomplished, including:
- A society committed to fostering Jewish and democratic principles and institutions;
- A diverse community comprised of immigrants from around the globe;
- A standard of innovation in technology, science, medicine, agriculture and ecology that is admired around of the world.
We honor and affirm the values laid out in Israel’s founding Declaration of Independence, of Jewish nationhood, freedom, justice, equality and the pursuit of peace.
