The ADL considers anti-zionism to be antisemitic.

I literally don't give a shit what the ADL thinks.

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 81 points 2 months ago

Still poignant to point out how absolutely stupid and hypocritical this entire group is with their bullshit of literally defending a actual Nazi giving the Nazi salute in broadcast tv.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago

Agreed. It seems they only exist to squelch any criticism of Israel.

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

This is the most clear possible destruction of their credibility. It's the thing you point to when you say they're full of shit.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In 2016 they tired to say drinking milk was racist, now they're saying being a Nazi is completely fine.

The ADL is a joke, but I aint laughin'.

Antizionism means to be a against Israel‘s existence. Half the world's Jews live in Israel and the state protects them. Without the state of Israel millions of Jews are in danger of ethnic cleansing or genocide. So the consequences of antizionism are enabling antisemitic acts on a large scale.

[-] LePoisson@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

Zionism is trash. Israel is the one doing the ethnic cleansing and genocide and using Zionism as part of the excuse for it.

I know it's not the fault of Judaism or Jews in general but goddamn Israel is probably turning people antisemitic because of what they're doing and have done.

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 months ago

Yes. I keep reminding myself my Jewish friends did not choose to attack the Gazans and don't agree with Israel's actions, but wow is the antisemitic brain worm whispering at me.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 2 months ago

Antizionism means to be a against Israel‘s existence.

It doesn't.

millions of Jews are in danger of ethnic cleansing or genocide.

They aren't. Maybe some. Not in America, Britain, most of Europe.

Too bad the best-boyfriend-in-the-world is still a boy and doesn't understand world politics.

This is some real DARVO shit right here...

"You're making me hurt you"

[-] phar@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

That's not all that Zionism is, you're purposely changing it to fit your narrative. In other words, lying.

I am definitely against the existence of the world's only Ethnostate, especially when it siphons money from America's Healthcare Programs and uses them to kill Palestinian children for being the wrong color.

The ADL has been supporting Nazis forever.

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Could you provide some examples please? This is the first time I'm aware that they have intentionally looked away.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 37 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Nazis in this case means genocidal states, aka Israel.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 months ago

Zionists in particular. Ethnostates are fascist in principle.

This page, while obviously specifically advocating against the ADL, is well sourced in its criticisms: https://droptheadl.org/the-adl-is-not-an-ally/

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 58 points 2 months ago

The ADL has been questionable for a long time, but this definitively kills the last bit of credibility they ever had. From this point on, anything they say should be ignored.

Oh, and Justice for Pepe, you downright pieces of shit

[-] florencia 47 points 2 months ago

Video of Elon Musk performing a Nazi Salute side by side to a video of a Neo Nazi performing a Nazi Salute

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 46 points 2 months ago

Apartheid Defense League living up to its reputation.

[-] dx1@lemmy.world 39 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The ADL exists to normalize fascism and "Israeli" colonialism. That's it. It's a subversive fascist lobbying group masquerading as some kind of pro-equality, anti-racist civil society nonprofit group. Absolutely disgusting organization.

[-] b161 31 points 2 months ago

The ADL supports the fascism in all its forms.

[-] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

He just had heartburn, you guys. He was reacting to all that burning and in exasperation, was gesticulating wildly and accidentally did it! Er, twice.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago

The ADL is likely giving a calculated response because of what happened last time Nazis took over a western country. It’s really sad that people are letting Nazis take over the US over what seems to be fear of AI and influx of immigrants from LatAm countries.

Couple this Nazi bullshit with what the Trump admin said yesterday about Israel having a biblical right to the land in the West Bank, it’s clear the plan is to eventually “gently encourage” Jewish “immigration” from the U.S. to Israel. Because Nazis don’t have any principles per se, and people like that especially don’t care about the Bible. Sadly, it seems that American conservatives are essentially Nazis now.

This is cope. The ADL is and has always been a zionist org and their purpose is to secure a future for their chosen people and their Israeli children.

[-] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I think their exact mission statement is "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for Jewish children, because the beauty of the White Jewish woman must not perish from the Earth."

Israel is far-right. Far-right actors will align itself with other far-right actors. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone that the militaristic society who actively perpetuates the worst apartheid in living memory would naturally align itself with the far-right.

The next fascism will not be anti-Jew. That's all ADL cares about

Musk responded “Thanks guys” with a laugh-crying emoji.

When you know you've lost the plot.

[-] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 months ago

Well, the ADL is literally a fascist organization itself.

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The ADL: McDonalds Mascots and Cartoon Frogs are racist, just like drinking milk and the "Okay" gesture!

Also The ADL: The Hitler Salute is cool and has never been a problem. If you have a problem with it, why are you trying to divide this country?

It's time to stop listening to the ADL, they refuse to be taken seriously.

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

The ADL's job used to be to protect Jewish people from discrimination. Now, it's pretty obvious they exist to protect the policies of the Israeli government.

So if your government is current engaged in a slaughter, who would rather have on your side in the U.S. government? An apartheid-loving fascist or someone who might actually criticize your actions?
