@c17393bb a reminder what the #ADL does and why many US Jews feel they need to distance themselves: “Even though the #ADL is integrated into community work on a range of issues, it has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, #queer people, #immigrants, #Muslims, #Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence. More disturbing, it has often conducted those attacks under the banner of “civil rights.” This largely unpublicized history has come increasingly to light as activists work to make sense of the ADL’s role in condemning the Movement for Black Lives, #Palestinian rights organizing, and Congressional Representative Ilhan Omar, among others.” https://droptheadl.org/ #DropTheADL
