The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV), a growing organization representing over 200 US mainstream Orthodox rabbis, on Thursday criticized the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for "abandoning its historic mission of defending the Jewish people" by giving a "free pass" to anti-Semitism coming from left-wing activists.
The criticism is in response to the production of a new guide by the ADL, "From Alt Right to Alt Lite: Naming the Hate," listing individuals that the ADL associated with "misogyny, anti-Muslim bigotry and xenophobia." The CJV statement responded that the ADL "tars mainstream conservatives with guilt by association," and that by avoiding critiques of left-wing activists, the ADL "betrays its core mission."
"This pattern began in 2015 when Jonathan Greenblatt took over as CEO of the ADL, and accelerated during the Trump presidential campaign," said Rabbi Yaakov Menken, Director of the CJV. "They are promoting the false notion that anti-Semitism is uniquely a right-wing problem."
While the CJV called the ADL's list of "Alt Right" leaders "a frightening depiction of American evil," it rejected the "Alt Lite" list as "an often embarrassing exercise in demonization."
The ADL lists Corey Stewart, the Chairman of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, as an "Alt Lite" figure because he "champions the preservation of Confederate monuments" and has "defended the 'heritage' of the Confederate flag." The CJV suggested that this was motivated by politics, given that Stewart announced his candidacy to oppose Democratic Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia just last week.
The CJV also provided its own list of ten left-wing figures, each of whom, it said, was both far more prominent and far more guilty of anti-Jewish defamatory speech. The list included NYTimes writer Thomas Friedman, bassist Roger Waters, Keith Ellison and LInda Sarsour, among others.

ADL = the Synagogue of Satan
Rev 2:9 & Rev 3:9
the ADL almost never helps Jews who are suffering discrimination
it has become a left wing propaganda outfit, mostly
what’s needed is a real ADL that actually helps people who need help
I’ll settle for an ADL that shuts the hell up and stays out of the way. it would also help if they disbanded like the discredited relic that they are.
understood.
(but there really are lots of Jewish people who get discriminated against badly at times, need some help....
and the US Dept of Justice is notoriously uninterested most of the time in protecting their rights)
True enough. Maybe this JVC organization will fill the void.
maybe. the article says they’re a bunch of orthdox rabbis.
other than their mothersinlaw, its hard to imagine a more formidable attack corps than a bunch of 200 mad orthodox rabbis coming at ya all at once
smile smile smile
smile smile smile
They’ll be joined by Johnny Cash impersonators, because they like to wear black, too.
HA!
good one
the wearing of the black and the funny hats...like they wanna be funeral directors? ... I have the highest possible respect for good orthdox rabbis but really..the mideval eastern European drag could really be ditched, dont ya think? after all, there’s nothing especially Jewish about it anyway..quite the contrary actually
oy now I’ve opened pandora’s box for sure, gonna get flamed all the way to Gihinnah now

The irony is the so-called Anti-Defamation bunch are themselves defaming people like McInnis, and Cernovich who is Jewish.
The ADL has as much to do with the true interests of Jews as Linda Sarsour has to do with the true interests of women.
If they’re anything like the ones that support the ADL I can understand why.
The incongruity here is striking. Given that the majority of institutionalized anti-Semitism originates in Islam, I do not understand why ADL would be concerned about criticism of Islam (which they characterized as "anti-Muslim bigotry"). Although, if the goal of ADL is to capitulate to (or even abet) the forces of anti-civilization, then it makes (sort of) sense.
All of these groups in the “hate” tracking business ought to be sued into nonexistence and perhaps have criminal charges pursued, given the extreme level of actual provable malice involved.
90% of discrimination against Jews in the US is because those Jews appear to be white, male, and/or are not sexually deviant.
9% comes from Islam. This is growing with the number of Islamics.
The other 1% is what the ADL was actually set up in the first place to fight. But it’s all but nonexistent now and any remaining prejudice is all but moot.
Much of the ‘anti-Jewish’ online activity is by left wing trolls posing as Nazis. See a lot of that on 4chan.
Certainly there are a couple hundred Nazis in a country of 300 million. Typically the average KKK march is half FBI agent infiltrators and a dozen actual racists. More protestors appear at the marches than marchers.
But the Left is all about creating the myth of ‘hate groups’ so they can continue to play the victim card.
bkmk
The saddest and most annoying part is when you denounce a leftist America hater, you’re slandered as an anti-semite, then none of the reasonable Jews say anything in your defense.
it’s similar to the excellent question:
“Hey, WHERE are all the moderate Muslim marches against terrorism..?!”
Well there aren’t any. People notice.
Sure when Bannon is called a Nazi there are those that don’t like that privately, but that’s not really my point:
there’s no strong Jewish voice in mass media who says, “this is ridiculous”.
I mean look at Cernovich, an L.A. Jew married to a Persian, yet he’s called a Nazi.
at some point you have to wonder, who is not a Nazi, then..?
These are the same Jews who told the others 75 years ago “Don’t worry, it’s just a work camp you’re going to. You’ll be fine’’.
“the wearing of the black and the funny hats”
Among other things, these serve as instantly recognizable uniforms. As such, change is going be slow, lest that purpose be thwarted.
Yes understood thanks
