As Anti-Defamation League officials appear on global televisions
denouncing widespread rallies calling for an end to Israelis
genocidal violence against Palestinians, we are seeing the most
dangerous outcome of the ADLs long history of asserting itself as a
civil rights group. The ADLs framing of itself as an advocate against
bias is completely belied by its advocacy for Islamophobic policy, its
work to foster militarized policing and hyper-surveillance, and its
clearly articulated role as an advocate for Israeli policies,
including apartheid. The ADL crassly instrumentalizes the publics
real concerns about antisemitism, producing outrageously inflated
statistics that list hundreds of protests against Israeli violence as
antisemitic incidents. As a result of this disingenuous posturing,
the ADL is being consulted as an expert on this war.
But the ADL is not a civil rights group. The ADL enters this war as a
right-wing organization, not a Jewish one. Yesterday on MSNBC, ADL CEO
Jonathan Greenblatt amplified the right-wing disinformation that Hamas
had called for a day of jihad and then suggested that governors,
mayors, and people in positions of authority had ignored it because
they arent concerned enough with Jewish safety. He repeated this
disinformation as hundreds of Jewish protesters in Washington, DC,
literally laid down in the street to try to stop Israels assaults on
Palestinians.
The ADL is historically and presently a Cold War organization; it
views the world in terms of the West and the Rest. Its attacks on
critics of Israel often, without irony, target Jewish peace
organizations that are doing real work with Palestinians and
communities of color. Echoing the language of right-wing panic about
socialism, the ADLs Greenblatt has taken to labeling efforts to
stop Israeli violence as Soviet propaganda. Yesterday on MSNBC, as
the Israeli military bombed Palestinians evacuating under Israeli
military orders, as the death toll among Palestinian children soared
over one thousand, Greenblatt also made the outrageous statement that
anti-Zionism is genocide.
The ADLs reach into our conversations at this crucial time is
unbelievably dangerous. We may well be on the brink of a world war,
which the ADL is fueling with its insistence that Jewish safety
depends on Palestinian genocide. Schools are sending home ADL
materials on how to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that
literally demands that we center Jewish concerns about safety with no
reference to mass Palestinian deaths nor decades of brutal
colonization and repeat the ADLs claim that anti-Zionism is
antisemitism all couched in the language of positioning yourself as
a learner and considering history.
We must stop platforming the ADL as a civil rights group. We must
understand it as a political organization with political aims. Its aim
is genocide, and its aim is war.

Boedicea said about the gook: Actually, it is obvious
he's not all there. Most wannabes are short on IQ and
have severe mental problems. I have yet to see a post
from this cretin that makes sense. Usually, he just
does his "You are a Nazi........." and even *that* he
aped from some other imbecile. His other attempts at
posting in usenet usually consist of one line or even
one word drivel. IMO he's using the computer in the
therapy room of his local nutfarm.
