It's truly sad because the ADL has done some just quite frankly fantastic work over the years. That they've fallen so far it's just tragic really.
It's not really surprising their strategy though. This has been a common tactic for revisionist Zionist groups. Finding a way to label other Jews as not really Jews so then they can feel free to attack attack them. It's been used to murder many prominent Jewish activists over the years. Hell it's what allowed them to murder a prime minister.
I said this in another thread- I used to feel like the ADL had my back. Now I feel like they're like some other crazy pro-Israel Jews who decided that any Jew like myself who is also not pro-Israel are antisemites.
They seem like they're a pro-Zionist organization instead of an pro-Israel lobby these days. Seems like there's been an internal focus shift. Maybe it was always going to be this way, but they've moved the window.
They should be neither.
They should be focused on one thing, actual antisemitism. Not criticism of Israel's policies, not criticism of Israel's actions, actual hate against Jews because they are Jews.
