New York, NY, October 4, 2023 … ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) issued the following statement today regarding recent developments with X/Twitter:
“In light of recent events, it feels like a useful moment to clarify the ADL position on X and its leadership.
"As we have noted in our research over the past several years, X – along with other social media platforms – has a serious issue with antisemites and other extremists using these platforms to push their hateful ideas and, in some cases, bully Jewish and other users.
"We appreciate X’s stated intent over the last few weeks to address antisemitism and hate on the platform. This has been useful; more needs to be done; and, as we have with other companies, in the spirit of collaboration, we are hopeful that we can continue to engage with X on this important matter.
"We want to do so because ADL fights antisemitism, hate, and extremism across all platforms and regardless of party or ideology. We attempt to work with each platform in a constructive manner. We engage with all of them routinely on how to make their platforms better.
"To be clear, any allegation that ADL has somehow orchestrated a boycott of X or caused billions of dollars of losses to the company or is “pulling the strings” for other advertisers is false. Indeed, we ourselves were advertising on the platform until the anti-ADL attacks began a few weeks ago. We now are preparing to do so again to bring our important message on fighting hate to X and its users.
"A better, healthier, and safer X would be a win for the world. We’ve said that publicly and repeatedly, and we hope that company leadership shares that goal as well. As we do with all platforms, we will credit X as it moves in that direction, and we also will call it out when it has not.
"For over a century, ADL has worked across the political spectrum and with a wide range of companies and organizations to promote tolerance and religious freedom while challenging antisemitism and hate. We know that the vast majority of Americans share these goals. By working collaboratively with X and other platforms, we endeavor to further this common mission while respecting the Constitutional right to free speech and religious liberty that belongs to all of us.”
ADL, Please provide 10 verified instances of hate speech on X.
The anti-defecation league can go screw themselves.
Greenblatt must be replaced, as posted on http://jns.org
Wokeness should not be his issue.
After the ADL gets caught spreading woke ideology, Greenblatt must go

The ADL is the biggest bully on the block.

Will I support the ADL, they can Pound Sand, they are done.
They seem to be contrite here.
Dont mess with Elon
It’s more than Musk.
Rosenblatt is a leftist and not like the old ADLers I worked with. Those guys knew who the enemy was and targeted them.
Ps. I just missed the Hanafi Moslems takeover of the ADL’s DC office by minutes as I was going to see an old friend who had worked at the National Security Council during The Vietnam war, on our side. His office was directly across from ADL.
Even my press card couldn’t get me through the police cordon to see him. Those were the days when cops were real cops and were allowed to go after criminals and terrorists.
Kvetch harder.
F the ADL.
From a recent court ruling:
‘Speech cannot be regulated as an “invasion of the rights of others” because it is “merely offensive to some listener,” the 8th Circuit said, quoting Tinker and a 3rd Circuit ruling written by future Justice Samuel Alito that struck down a policy prohibiting “unwelcome” verbal or written conduct that “offends, denigrates or belittles” based on “personal characteristics.”’
I was tired last night. Perhaps I shouldn’t have worded it the way I did. I’m just against the the woke bs. My apologies if I offended…
The ADL is just another branch of the American Cheka.

Accepted. God bless
No need to bash the ADL original noble premise. It’s just in recent years, it had been involved in politics unrelated to its mission. Shame.
You mean Greenblatt. And yes. It’s a shame.
