During the Cold War, the organization expelled Jewish communist groups from its umbrella.[1]
In 2007, the group reported that antisemitic attacks in Argentina increased by 32% in 2006 in comparison to 2005.[2]
In 2011 the group filed an injunction to stop Google from advertising on 76 "highly discriminatory" websites.[3] The DAIA noted, "The common denominator on these sites is the incitement of hate and the call to violence". The judge agreed, concluding that "the terms mentioned [in the lawsuit] as well as the results obtained through 'suggested searches' could be described as discriminatory acts and/or at least, incitement and/or encouragement for discrimination".[3]
