Today's ADL

The ADL under Greenblatt did occasionally criticize left-wing AS (e.g., Ilhan Omar, campus radicals, anti-Zionist fringes) pre-10/7/23. But it simultaneously platformed, partnered w/, & defended BLM & far-left groups after their leaders/chapters openly backed BDS, pushed “Zionism equals white supremacy,” & amplified NOI-adjacent AS tropes. A real watchdog doesn’t cozy up to the wolf pack while weakly swatting a few wolves. Greenblatt’s ADL chose progressive posturing—signaling intersectional superiority over “reactionary” Jews noticing left-wing threats—for elite approval. Criticizing a congresswoman or protester was cheap cover; breaking w/ movements making anti-Israel hate core doctrine required real courage & risked progressive ostracism. n practice, ADL ignored escalating far-left AS to preserve illusion that Jewish safety comes from being the best progressive ally. That’s not consistency; it’s fear of being labeled right-wing more than fear of thin solidarity exposed post October Seventh. True moral clarity sees danger early & refuses to trade truth for fashionable friends
