ADL, Anti Defamation League (they should drop the Anti though)
"Early this year investment research firm Morningstar caved to a multi-year ADL pressure campaign and exempted Israel from its socially responsible investing ratings"
"...the ADL is aggregating stock ownership as just one part of a broad campaign to pressure companies to adopt pro-Israel policies, and remain quiet on Israeli state violence and human rights abuses"

Mondoweiss · The ADL’s war on socially conscious investing is in service to Israel and the new oligarchyEarly this year investment research firm Morningstar caved to a multi-year ADL pressure campaign and exempted Israel from its socially responsible investing ratings. This success in exempting Israel from investor accountability is just the beginning.

Daniel L. Davis is a retired United States Army officer. He was one of the earliest military officers to publicly criticize the War in Afghanistan.
Davis is a Senior Fellow at Defense Priorities, a Foundation of the Koch brothers.
Davis was selected by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard for appointment as deputy director. On Wednesday, the Jewish Insider magazine ran a story against Davis ; neoconservative radio jock Mark Levin helped spread the Jewish Insider story to his 4.9 million followers; within hours, Davis was informed there would be no job.

thecradle.coGabbard withdraws war critic from top intel job following 'smear campaign' by pro-Israel groupsThe intel chief's deputy choice was a retired officer who referred to US support for Israel in Gaza as a 'moral and strategic mistake' and described war threats against Iran as 'reckless'

Neo-McCarthyism transcends traditional political boundaries when Palestinians are involved. Anat Kam's take in #Haaretz on the Mahmoud Khalil case is shockingly more extreme than even CNN's coverage. While CNN examines the serious civil liberties concerns of a man with a pregnant wife being targeted for Palestinian advocacy, "liberal" Haaretz labels him a "Hamas supporter" based solely on tenuous claims about a #CUAD manifesto. Khalil appears to be another victim of weaponized #antisemitism accusations - a Trump administration tactic championed by the #ADL (enough to make it obvious that this is political persecution for criticism of #Israel, not for support of terrorism) that Kam conveniently ignores - designed specifically to silence Palestinian voices.

[...] Columbia University, which recently published a new protocol on its plans to cooperate with ICE, has targeted Khalil for his Palestinian identity and outspoken activism on multiple occasions over the last 17 months. He served as a lead negotiator during the Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring and has frequently appeared in media interviews and press conferences. Columbia’s continued acquiescence to federal agencies and outside partisan institutions has made this situation possible. Like many other Arab and Muslim students, Khalil has been the target of various zionist harassment campaigns, fueled by doxxing websites like Canary Mission. This racist targeting serves to instill fear in pro-Palestine activists as well as a warning to others.

MUST WATCH!

Well crafted and researched piece on the ADL.

"The Anti-Defamation League does not exist to protect Jewish people. And they don't actually care about 'combating antisemitism'.

They're an extension of Israeli intelligence operating in the United States to make sure we support Israel."

A new opinion piece by a former ADL staffer who left last year after the group honored Jared Kushner:

I watched from the inside as the ADL erased racial justice from its civil rights priorities, caved to pressure from conservative media for being “too woke,” and quietly abandoned core education programs. The shift began with an internal pause on its use of the word “racism” while it sought a “new” definition (spoiler: they still don’t have one). Then, it removed “racial justice” from its portfolio altogether.

Rather than expand anti-bias education, it shut down a decades-old initiative that helped students challenge discrimination. Then, it removed more than 100 lesson plans that helped educators address bias against LGBTQ, Muslim, and immigrant students.

Used to be that #Jews understood the deal: #equality and opportunity are the product of #liberal #democracy. We have thrived by committing ourselves to furthering that democracy, creating the Goldeneh Medinah—the Golden Nation—a place of safety and prosperity for Jews, and for everybody else.

Two articles recently have me wondering what has happened to our community. One piece described the reception for Elise Stefanik at the #ADL conference. A number of listeners walked out on her speech (good for them!), but others reacted positively to being splattered with the bullshit she was flinging. Jonathan Greenblatt called that sniveling toady "exactly what we need". Et tu, Jonathan?

The other piece is an op-ed by Shalom Hartman Institute president Yehuda Kurtzer. Kurtzer expresses dismay at the American Jewish community's casual disregard for the American values we've adopted for centuries. He says nothing new—it's the fact he has to say it at all that's distressing. 1/
