    I’m pretty much ok with the ADL fully discrediting itself further. The more people know they’re just pro-Israel with a thin veil of “And we also care about racism!” the less influence they’ll have. I feel like even from like 5 years ago they’ve fallen off incredibly hard. Incredibly moronic leadership from their current leader

      I’ve long been aware they were zionist, genocidal, right-wing pieces of shit. But I will admit I didn’t expect them to actively defend a literal nazi salute. I agree it’s probably good that this event pretty much can be used in conversation to discredit them at will now.

        They also defended Elon ~a year ago when he agreed with a Nazi on Twitter who said basically “Jews are doing the great replacement of whites in the US.” The ADL made him take a trip to concentration camps and then to Israel after which all was forgiven. As long as he’s pro-Israel, that’s all they ask!

        The ADL has a long history of being pro-apartheid back to South African apartheid days. It seems the leaders then understood what Israel was/is and that the anti-apartheid movement would come for Israel one day.

        But yes, especially since Oct 2023 Jonathon Greenblatt, who seems to be a legitimately very dumb person, has been just outright saying constantly and loudly everywhere: “Criticism of Israel is antisemitic.” There’s no longer any veil for them to hide behind. He couldn’t keep his trap shut just a few times. He had to just blare the agenda out loudly every chance he had.

        I’m pretty sure it’s so bad for them now that even liberals who aren’t inside the little fascist media bubble around Washington know to take nothing from the ADL seriously without checking the precise claims, with evidence, first. Even Wikipedia has stopped allowing them to edit pages because they’re considered so untrustworthy. When you’ve lost Wikipedia editors… goddamn…
