Watch the webinar on DropTheADL.org

The Anti-Defamation League is denouncing anti-war protests, amplifying disinformation on violence, and partnering with right-wing organizations on anti-hate/antisemitism policy. Using social media, it has set out to redefine major concepts like settler colonialism to exempt the US and Israel. Yet it still appears regularly in media as a source for reporting and commentary on civil rights. Join experts on media, antisemitism discourse, and terror policy for a discussion of the ADL’s role in disinformation, racial repression, and war – and on efforts to push back.
