The ADL Took Money From One of the Biggest Funders of Alt-Left Anti-Semitism

The ADL did good work once upon a time, fifty years ago. But its mission has morphed. Instead of protecting the Jewish people, they have aligned with the jihad force and have used their considerable influence and resources to go after proud Jews and Zionists (including me), while giving vicious Muslim antisemites sanction and cover. The ADL had a hand in norming Jew-hatred — attacking proud Jews and standing with anti-Semites. They can’t wash the sins from their hands with platitudes now. For ignoring leftist Jew-hatred and even working in tandem with those who propagate it, Greenblatt, if there were any proud Jews left in the ADL. should be made to resign in disgrace. But he won’t be.

Oh come on. Is this the best @JGreenblattADL can do? A gentle scold? @IlhanMN, who sits on the @HouseForeign said that Jews control US foreign policy with our money to help evil Israel. And all you can say is that this is "inappropriate and upsetting"? What is your problem? https://t.co/Tjyw832Niz

“The ADL Took Money From One of the Biggest Funders of Alt-Left Anti-Semitism,” by Daniel Greenfield, Breaking Israel News, February 8, 2019 (thanks to Mark):

On February 2017, Juan Thompson, a former reporter for the alt-left hate site, The Intercept, phoned in a bomb threat to the ADL. The phone threat targeting the ADL’s headquarters was one of a number of threats that the disgraced activist and journalist had made to a variety of Jewish organizations.

On November 2017, the ADL tweeted its gratitude to the Omidyar Network, the foundation behind The Intercept for donating $250,000 in seed money to set up a Silicon Valley center for fighting online hate.

Another $1.5 million would be provided by Omidyar to fund the Center on Technology and Society.

After being targeted for harassment by one of The Intercept’s failed bigots, the ADL responded by getting into bed with his employer, a leading financier of alt-left anti-Semitism on the internet.

Thompson’s hateful threats against Jewish institutions have been downplayed as the side effects of stalking an ex-girlfriend, but this glib dismissal doesn’t address his choice to terrorize Jewish institutions or how the hateful culture of the alt-left hate site he had worked for had contributed to his bigotry.

The ADL has chosen to ignore the subject and most alt-left anti-Semitism on the internet.

“Fifty years ago, extremists were hiding behind hoods and burning crosses. Today, they’re hiding behind avatars and burning up Twitter. I’m grateful to Omidyar Network for its generous support an thankful that the board members are sharing their expertise to help us put a stop to online hate,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the Obama vet who now heads the ADL, cheered.

Implicit in Greenblatt’s reference to hoods and burning crosses, was that the ADL and its new Center on Technology and Society would be targeting online hate from the alt-right, not the alt-left. Greenblatt’s tweet thanking a funder of alt-left anti-Semitism for its support, mentioned hate, not anti-Semitism….

Greenblatt condemns in his referral the KKK who enslaved Africans.
What he doesn’t mention is that today enslavers of Africans, Saudi Arabia partly own Twitter.
Africans are enslaved, castrated, divorced, beaten & killed today in Saudi Arabia & enslaved in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, Iraq, North-Sudan, Libya (surge), Algeria (surge), Mauritania (20 percent), Niger, Mali, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks (see Wikiislam).

This is a great report on the hypocritical and disgusting behavior of the ADL. Hopefully, Jews and non-Jews who have supported the ADL will stop doing so….and stop sending money to the ADL. The ADL at one time long ago was a decent organization, but has since gone way too crazy in it’s leap into bed with hard Leftist/Anti-American, Anti-Jewish and Anti-Christian bedfellows. Most of the leaders of the ADL have become multimillionaires and huge profiteers off of their “fight against bigotry”. So this among other things should tell you that the ADL is a fake, phoney, fraud “institution”.

This is done because the ADL knows the big money is in he Demoncratic Party, and 75% of American Jews vote Demoncratic. So one way or another, the money makes the rounds and ADL profits to give aid and comfort to the enemy of Israel and all Jews.

No, I do not readily concede that ADL did good work 50 years ago or ever. ADL has done more to undermine the US culture than all of the Islamists combined. You are just seeing the fruits of their work over the last 50 plus years. When they undermined our christian heritage and education, they sawed off the branch they were perched on. And labeling Charles Lindbergh as anti-Jewish is the same as labeling Pamela Geller as anti-Islamic. He was telling the truth as he saw it; the leadership of the communist movement in the USA and elsewhere was substantially Jewish. Jewish Americans and Jewish immigrants have been at the forefront of these leftist movements here and elsewhere. That does not mean that he thought all Jewish people were bad or that Pamela thinks all Islamists are bad. I do not believe Lindbergh advocated for Nazis or specific anti-Jewish activities, per se. He advocated for keeping America out of European wars and he understood that the Nazi war machine was far more advanced militarily than we were at the time by virtue of personal observations and he feared the result of war. He also was of German descent and was naturally inclined to hope that Hitler would not prove as evil as he proved out to be. Few American’s necessarily grasped the full magnitude of the Nazi situation, as much progress was occurring in Germany as well.

Wait, so let me get this straight.
ONE – disgraced former reporter for Company A threatens ADL.
TWO – Company B, which owns Company A, the former employer of the bad guy, gives money to ADL — motive not stated in the article, but, maybe, making amends for what their disgraced former two-steps-removed employee did? And showing they want nothing to do with what he did?
THREE – ADL thanks company B for their contribution towatrd ending hate.
Tell me what I’m missing? And if I’m not missing anything, why does anyone see anything wrong with this picture, other than, of course, the perp’s original disgusting act? Seems to me, everyone else involved is behaving quite appropriately.
