The Anti-Defamation League sent a letter to the Facebook Oversight Board on Wednesday demanding that the company do more to combat antisemitic content on the social media site.
The ADL stressed in the letter that despite years of requests to address the issue, sufficient action still hasn't been taken to remove content and users spreading antisemitism.
"Facebook’s inaction has helped spread hatred of Jews and has contributed to historical high levels of antisemitism in America and antisemitism online and offline across the globe," wrote the ADL.
The organization sent seven examples of public antisemitic posts that violated Facebook's policies, but the company refused to remove the content.
"We request that the Oversight Board put a stop to the implicit promotion of antisemitism on Facebook by overruling Facebook’s decisions to permit such content to flourish," wrote the ADL.
