Please don’t call them a top Jewish civil rights org. They are an Israeli “rights” organization which does what Netanyahu wants and suggests that Israeli and Jew mean the same thing and that all Jews support Israel. They do not and we all do not.
The ADL no longer has the back of Jews. They no longer care about the actual issue of antisemitism in the world. They’re too busy coming to the defense of the indefensible. Jewish Voices for Peace is doing more on the issue of antisemitism just by proving that we’re not all in favor of genocide.
As far as I know, there is no longer a global organization devoted to exposing and defeating antisemitism.
The Independent should know better and they probably do.
The ADL confirms, your comment is anti-semitic.
Not the first time another Jew has called me an antisemitic Jew.
More than just a dispute over data, though, the Wikipedia editors argued that ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt often acts as more of a partisan actor in the Israel-Palestine conversation than a neutral source of information.
Greenblatt has called US anti-Zionist student protesters Iranian “proxies,” compared the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf to a swastika, and praised Elon Musk just days after the Twitter owner endorsed an antisemitic conspiracy theory as the “actual truth” last November.
Is this the story of the world now? Some old rich guy watches a little too much TV/Twitter and sends a major organization off the rails?
…I guess it always has been.
That’s policy, as Naftali Bennet (who would later become Israel’s Prime Minister) explains.
