    Could you guys also scrap the ADL? They seem to have jumped the shark in defense of his nazi salute.

      They just need to sever the ADL’s ties to Israel. It’s hard for me to believe it’s a NY organization when they parrot Netanyahu’s words and sound nothing like the voices of every Jewish New Yorker I’ve met.

        They’re just a mouthpiece of the likud party and have been for a while now.

          fuck the ADL. all my homies hate the ADL. SPLC does more to speak on the jewish identity than the ADL. the ADL once served a valuable purpose, but at this point it has been fully captured by radical nationalists who don’t think jews can live alongside anyone else. there’s a word for that, and i can nazi myself remembering what it is

      “Us guys” do not universally support the ADL.

      Just like we do not universally support Israel.

      Can you guys stop deciding what every Jew supports? I’m getting really fucking tired of both telling people that you’re wrong and being told I’m the wrong one back because of my genetics.

        You may be a leader and you may be Jewish, but I interpreted that comment to specifically mean the people in power who maintain this connection. That is, “you guys” sounds like an appeal to the Jewish leaders referenced in the article, the US leaders that support the ADL, or both.

        I might be wrong, I don’t know OP or what they truly believe. If there is context I’m missing that changes the message, I will stand corrected.

          I never suggested I was a leader, but even plenty of Jews in leadership positions of Jewish organizations do not support the ADL. We can start with Jewish Voice for Peace.
