ANTISEMITISM: Hard-Left Progressive Groups Call to Cut Ties with ‘Racist’ ADL

Ironically, the ADL has been carrying water for the left for years now – even going to so far as attacking proud Jews. But it doesn’t matter. Antisemites hate Jews no matter how much their boots are licked.

For years the ADL has shamelessly pandered to the Left. This is their reward: the delegitimization of the ADL, Israel, and American Jews by progressive groups. America’s anti-Semitic progressive groups represent the greatest threat to American Jews. That is because the Democrat Party needs their votes to win elections. It is no wonder why the Democrat Party is rapidly purging it’s Jewish voters. If Jewish Americans want to remain relevant they are going to have to abandon the Left in droves.

2. The #ADL has bent over backwards to fit in with progressives at the expense of Jewish communal interests for the past several years now, downplaying anti-Semitism on the left and exaggerating the threat of anti-Semitism on the right. And this is the thanks it gets.
Disaster.

Progressive Groups Call to Cut Ties with ‘Racist’ ADL

“The ADL has criticized Sen. Ted Cruz and President Trump as well as Trump administration officials, with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt — a former Obama administration official — sharing his personal view of Trump as a racist and even joining Rev. Al Sharpton in condemning the president, while ignoring Sharpton’s own documented history of racism, antisemitism, and homophobia.”

By Breitbart, August 16, 2020

A new initiative promoted by nearly 150 left-wing organizations calls for a large scale boycott of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) — the historic U.S.-based NGO established to fight hatred, bigotry, and antisemitism and whose stated mission is to secure “justice and fair treatment to all.”

Under the heading “The ADL is not an ally,” the fresh initiative — known as “Drop the ADL” — calls for a “reconsideration” of the Anti-Defamation League as “a partner in social justice work.”

Bemoaning the current integration of the ADL in many community programs, the letter speaks of the organization’s “history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups,” all while decrying its “deceptive” and “harmful” practices including its use of the civil rights banner to attack social justice movements.

While accusing the ADL of “aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence,” the letter also claims that the ADL’s credibility in movements and communities is what has allowed it “to undermine the rights of marginalized communities.”

The letter concludes by noting the “destructive role” that the ADL frequently plays in “undermining struggles for justice” and declaring that any collaboration with the ADL is a betrayal of the social justice movements behind the initiative.

Nearly 150 signatories appear on the letter, including far-left activist groups the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Democratic Socialists of America, Dream Defenders, Movement for Black Lives, CODEPINK as well as several progressive Jewish organizations.

The initiative has created a website (DropTheADL.org) and hashtag (#DropThe ADL) and compiled a primer listing ADL activities, which “undermine the rights” of “Black, immigrant, queer, Muslim, Arab, and other marginalized communities.”

Activities that the ADL is accused of in the primer include: targeting and surveilling progressive movements; supporting “racist, militarized policing” as well as “anti-Semites, Donald Trump, and other right-wing, racist influencers”; Islamophobia/Anti-Muslim racism and repressing Palestinian rights; “campus repression”; and “trampling anti-racist, immigrant, queer, and other justice movements.”

The primer goes on to label the ADL a “white-led organization” which seeks to advance a “racist” agenda, “shouts down communities of color advocating for their own rights,” and “muzzles” human rights defenders. The primer concludes with the message it seeks to popularize: “The ADL is not an ally.”

In response to the accusations, the ADL responded to each of the claims individually after having referred to them as “tired, false and misleading statements” and “myths” published by many of the same groups “who have been pushing an anti-Israel agenda for years.”

As Breitbart News has previously reported, the ADL has criticized Sen. Ted Cruz and President Trump as well as Trump administration officials, with ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt — a former Obama administration official — sharing his personal view of Trump as a racist and even joining Rev. Al Sharpton in condemning the president, while ignoring Sharpton’s own documented history of racism, antisemitism, and homophobia.

ADL is not Jew or Israel friendly, ADL is antisemitic and loathes, as mentioned, proud Jews. Now even ADL is a hardcore, antisemitic Lefts’ shat list. It, of course, is not surprising; these so-called Liberals are not Liberal by a smidgen. They are, indeed, a cesspool of Jew-hatred and animus against those who support Jews and Israel. They hold no shame; they, as are the faux-Democrats, bent on turning America into a nation based on hatred of Jews and all who dare not abide by their totalitarian diktat.

A diktat infused with Marxist and Fascist doctrines or dogmas.America is on the cusp of becoming a mirror image of autocracy if the faux-Democrats take over the Republic; Jews and those defending Jews, conservatives, will face relegation as third-class citizens.

Greenblatt will continue to kiss moslem ass. The left never learns and Greenblatt will never admit that he has been a useful idiot. One time the ADL asked why I no longer donate. I told them what has happened will happen. They will get no thanks from any quarter by sticking up for arabs. Job one is sticking up for Jews. I have not heard from them since.
