And as much as I may hate JD Vance, he had a valid point when he said in a criticism of Israel advocates, “always conflating criticism of a particular government with Jew hatred; because if everything is Jew hatred, then nothing is Jew hatred." . Because even a lukewarm condemnation of Israel is met with a firestorm of "Why do you hate Jews?", "Shut up, Nazi!", "Antisemite!", etc. I could say something like, "I mildy object to Israel's actions in the war with Iran." And Greenblatt will call me a Nazi for doing so.

Meanwhile, Mamdani ally Brad Lander just beat Dan Goldman in a landslide.

“The Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt led the charge, claiming Mamdani demonized and denigrated Jewish New Yorkers. Erasing the substance of the mayor’s comments, Greenblatt wrote “this is not a principled disagreement. This is prejudice pure and simple.”

Greenblatt is another hypocrite and pathetic liar!

For example, when Musk embraced The Great Replacement Theory in 2023—with a post blaming “Jewish communities” for conspiring against whites —Greenblatt condemned it as “indisputably dangerous.”

Then, two days later, after Musk announced he’d suspend users posting certain pro-Palestinian phrases, Greenblatt praised Musk’s “leadership in fighting hate.”

After that, Greenblatt changed the focus of the organization—fighting right-wing anti-semitism—instead focusing on pro-Palestinian activism; completely undermining the organization’s credibility!

And with his Mandani outrage, he’s proven the point! I guess wealth can by your silence with Greenblatt—especially when anti-semitism has been the on the rise on X and in this nation since Trump rode down his golden escalator in 2016.

And in 2022, a year before Musk went full Nazi, ADL researchers were reporting antisemitic content on X had increased over 60% since Musk’s takeover which is when the ADL joined an advertising boycott of the platform, before reversing course and rolling out the red carpet for the most anti-Semitic guy on the planet, who happens to own a platform that can shape minds of young men (White Supremacists) for generations to come!

I just came here to say that while the mask has come off in recent years, the ADL definitely did not "change focus" to pro-palestinian activism in 2023 in response to Elon Musk.

Since the 1970s, the ADL has been infiltrating Palestinian advocacy organizations and pushing what they call the "new antisemitism" - the narrative that advocating for Palestine is the "real" Jew hate in the modern era. It's been a long journey to prominence, but it's a project they've been laser-focused on since well before I was born.

Fair enough, but they were focusing on White Supremacy—now they aren’t, and these are the people committing most of the hate crimes in America, as well as the rising threat.
