WTF ADL?

The #AntiDefamationLeague is facing backlash over what critics have called unwarranted hostility toward Mayor-elect #ZohranMamdani, after the org publicized a website & tip line to monitor his admin for actions that could be construed as #antisemitic.

During the final stretch of the mayoral campaign, #Mamdani’s detractors, including #JonathanGreenblatt, chief exec of the #ADL, repeatedly accused him of #antisemitism, a charge he strongly rejects.

FBI Ends Partnership with Anti-Defamation League Following Conservative Backlash

The FBI announced on October 1, 2025, that it has severed ties with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), a Jewish organization recognized for monitoring antisemitism and extremism. FBI Director Kash Patel cited criticism from conservative figures—including billionaire Elon Musk—due to the ADL's inclusi... [More info]

I got a lot of criticism of the ADL (and much more towards cops), but this is not a good sign, and the rhetoric sounds like the future is gonna get weird and dangerous.

But hey! At least the ADL is healing America since the left and right both agree on hating them.

"#FBI Director #KashPatel is cutting ties with the #AntiDefamationLeague that the bureau forged under its former boss James Comey.

"James Comey disgraced the #FBI by writing ‘love letters’ to the #ADL and embedding agents with an #extreme group functioning like a #terrorist organization and the disgraceful operation they ran spying on Americans. That was not #lawenforcement, it was #activism dressed up as #counterterrorism, and it put Americans in danger," Patel told Fox News Digital.

"That era is finished. This FBI formally rejects Comey’s policies and any partnership with the ADL," he added."

The National Education Association just voted to cut all ties to the Anti-Defamation League.

Union delegates speaking on the Assembly floor rejected the ADL’s abuse of the term “antisemitism” to punish critics of Israel, and its use of hyperinflated statistics on hate crimes to gin up fears about Jewish safety and paint calls for Palestinian rights as “hate speech.” Delegates also cited the ADL’s history of suppressing antiracist organizing, including attacking the anti-Apartheid and Black Lives Matter movements.

So the ADL or #Anti-DefamationLeague as it's called the original idea of this thing is that it's SUPPOSED to be like an anti-extremism group like a counter extremism group where they monitor things like #anti-semitism and various forms of bigotry and hatred, that was then... youtu.be/X2LuZl8kwBA?...

Antisemitism is definitely a problem all over the US (& the world) right now, but the ADL has forfeited their expertise to curry favor with a Nazi billionaire. Until their whitewashing of Elon Musk gets accounted for, it's pretty hard to take anything they say very seriously.

Anti-Defamation League Is Reminded Of Response To Elon Musk’s Salute After Condemning Kanye West’s Antisemitic Rant

The mere idea of the ADL(*) saying “all sides should give one another a bit of grace” is so extremely funny 😆😆

(* the ADL is one of the main pro-israeli ideological pressure groups in the US, like LIC(R)A in France. They spied on anti-apartheid groups in US universities for the South African gov in the 80’s)
