The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a Zionist pressure group based in the United States. It began as a civil rights organization to combat racism but is now dedicated to supporting Israel and claims that, "Zionism is a fundamental component of many Jews' identities."[1] In 2023, CEO Jonathan Greenblatt falsely said that, "Every Jewish person is a Zionist" and "anti-Zionism is genocide."[2]
Zionist activities
The ADL spied on Civil Rights activists and making false accusations of antisemitism against the Black Panthers during the 1960s at the height of Civil Rights activism in the United States.[citation needed]
In the 1970s, the ADL condemned the Palestine Liberation Organization and boycott of Israel.
It described the UN's World Conference against Racism in South Africa in 2001 as "antisemitic." It also accused Jimmy Carter of antisemitism because of his book Palestine: Peace not Apartheid.[1]
In 2023, the ADL described 153 pro-Palestinian rallies as "antisemitic" and said 85 of them "supported terror." It equates these protests with actual antisemitism such as a bomb threat against a synagogue in Albuquerque, New Mexico.[2]
Media guidelines
Following the Al-Aqsa Flood in October 2023, the ADL printed a handbook of instructions for media to follow when reporting on the uprising. It told journalists to call Hamas "terrorists" instead of "militants" or "fighters" and described the Zionist invasion of Gaza as a "legitimate military action."[2]
Police training
The ADL is the largest non-governmental police trainer in the United States. Its Advanced Training School trains over 250 U.S. agencies, including ICE and the FBI. ADL training is mandatory for all new FBI special agents and intelligence analysts.[2]
