The Anti-Defamation League’s disinformation campaign should mark the end of the group’s role as a source on extremism.
“The ADL’s endorsement of Musk was only the latest in a series of disqualifying actions: It has taken on a new, alarming role as a purveyor of debunked claims about antisemitism and terrorism. The ADL has long set out to “interpret Israel” to United States policy makers without intervening. But now, as the ADL struggles against an avalanche of evidence of Israeli war crimes — and a surging U.S. antiwar movement led by largely young Palestinian and Jewish Americans — it is displaying surprising disregard for its reputation as a credible source. That should make policy makers who heed the ADL very nervous.”
