Liberal Jewish organizations that have worked with the ADL are publicly defending its record as a Jewish civil rights organization with a long track record of standing up for marginalized communities.
Liberal Jewish allies of the Anti-Defamation League are coming to its defense after more than 150 progressive groups signed an open letter calling for the ADL to be excluded from social justice coalitions.
The effort, called Drop The ADL, criticizes the ADLs work with police forces across the country as well as its support of Israel. Spearheaded by a coalition of pro-Palestinian and left-wing groups that disapprove of the ADLs ties to law enforcement, the campaign follows earlier left-wing pushes against the Jewish anti-bigotry group.
The campaign comes on the heels of a high-profile ad boycott of Facebook spearheaded by the ADL, NAACP and other civil rights groups. The boycott recruited more than 1,000 companies, including a range of marquee brand names, to pause advertising on the social media giant for at least a month to protest its inaction on hate speech.

(15,325 posts)Now they're targeting the ADL.
What is their real agenda, one has to ask.
Smacks of a deeper more disturbing thread that runs back to the originators of these fringe groups.
Unbelieveable, & am so sorry.
Seems they've dismissed the years of positive work of the ADL purpose, & cherry picked a line item to run an anti-ADL campaign against them.
Why & what is their endgame?
"The list of 100 signatories includes an array of progressive groups, such as the Democratic Socialists of America, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, the Movement for Black Lives, Jewish Voice for Peace and Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. Some have previously criticized the ADL, while others are joining in after a summer in which criticism of racial injustice in law enforcement has taken center stage."
This is ugly.

(53,831 posts)Notice that those supposed "progressive" groups never or almost never, address anti-Semitism, even the fucking JEWISH groups! However, I am not in the least bit surprised. as many are all about intersectionality, until it comes to Jews, then it's "fuck them!". Once again, Jews find themselves surrounded on all sides, and that includes the "court Jews" who but a nice varnish on the mantle of anti-Semitism.
