Anti Defamation League er en ældgammel interesseorganisation, der har som sit mål, at sikre primær jøder, fra at blive diskrimineret. Som tiden er gået er det blevet en selvbærende forretningsmodel, der grundlæggende afpresser virksomheder, ved at true med boycott kampagner, hvis ikke man donerer penge til ADL. Eller, som ved de sociale medier, lader ADL stå for en del af indholds-moderationen, det som vi andre kalder censuren.
Dens nuværende direktør Jonathan Greenblatt, er et politisk aktivistisk menneske, der angriber alle Demokraternes modstandere, med beskyldninger om antisemitisme. Musk overtagelse af Twitter og den medfølgende trussel om mere ytringsfrihed, var en trussel mod Demokraterne og beskyldniger om at Twitter oplevede en eksplosion i ‘hadtale’ og antisemitisme, skræmte mange virksomheder væk, hvilket førte til enorme tab i reklameindtægter. Det samme skete for Facebook for et par år siden, skrev Politico i en lang og interessant artikel
The advertising boycott battering Facebook is unlike anything the social-media giant has faced in its 16-year history: Three days in, 800 companies worldwide have pulled millions of dollars in advertising from the social network, with brands from Coca-Cola to Ford to global conglomerate Unilever demanding that Facebook monitor hate speech more aggressively.
With pullouts mounting and the company’s name constantly tied to racism and hate in the news coverage, CEO Mark Zuckerberg responded by livestreaming part of an employee meeting — one of the few times he’s done that in the company’s history. Then, on Wednesday, Facebook’s powerhouse policy and communications chief, former British Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, issued an open letter, titled “Facebook does not benefit from hate,” touting its efforts to police its content.
The boycott has emerged as a crucial test for a company that has become a key player in American politics simply because of what it hosts and promotes on its site, and which until recently had been vocally doubling down on its commitment to keeping an open platform for users’ speech.
It is also a behind-the-scenes triumph for a novel coalition of civil rights groups and other advocacy organizations — the architects of the #StopHateForProfit campaign that many of the boycotting companies have signed on to.
Interviews with leaders of the nine coalition partners reveal how the groups spun up a boycott idea in a matter of days, responding to the George Floyd protests late this spring and using public energy to join together several long-simmering, frustrated efforts to hold Facebook to account for its content. They lobbied corporate leaders in private and, in some cases, shamed companies on social media to join the effort.

While the boycott came together quickly, its roots trace back to the 2016 election. Amid widespread outrage over the role Facebook had played, one complaint was that Russians were using the site to exploit America’s racial tensions. But the site wasn’t just amplifying them, activists came to believe. It was a petri dish for racism and discrimination; it was growing hate. And, by taking a largely hands-off approach, Facebook wasn’t taking the issue seriously, the activists decided.
In the months after Donald Trump was sworn in as president, civil rights groups and other social justice organizations began quietly comparing notes about their interactions with Facebook and Silicon Valley more broadly.
“The conversations started really informally, just collecting information. But what we learned was that we were getting played by Facebook and other big tech companies,” says Jessica González, co-CEO of the left-leaning media advocacy organization Free Press. “They had a very strategic appeasement strategy, where they gave us breadcrumbs, but in a way that made it look like they were doing such great work when in fact hate and disinformation were rampant on their site.”
The advocates tried to figure out how to get Facebook and other tech companies to take their complaints more seriously. Campaigns to get users to stay away from the platform, or to allow civil rights groups to alert the companies of hateful activities, largely sputtered. In 2018, Facebook announced it would undergo an audit to better understand how it was affecting communities of color and other marginalized groups, led by Laura Murphy, a highly regarded civil rights advocate. But a pivotal five-week stretch this past fall largely erased whatever goodwill was left.

To clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism, it looks like we have no choice but to file a defamation lawsuit against the Anti-Defamation League … oh the irony!

Jonathan at ADL kicked off a massive Twitter boycott campaign less than a week after the acquisition closed.
Literally nothing had changed about the site.
Our US revenue is still 60% down from that campaign, but slowly improving.

When he presses ADL staffers for evidence to back up their claims of a sharp spike in North American anti-Semitism in 2007, they can offer only wan transgressions — letters from employees denied time off for a Jewish holiday, or people offended by a cop’s incautious use of the word “Jew” — that hardly stack up compared with the Holocaust, which is repeatedly invoked by ADL officials as something that could happen again anytime, anywhere.
Der nævnes også en spændt stemning mellem sorte og jøder, nævnes det også i artiklen, som var det jøderne der havde andel i det. De sorte er de fremmeste anti-semitter som man kan se herunder, hvor Obama bistert nedstirrer ALDs Jonathan Greenblatt
Ron Coleman, der er ortodox jøde, skriver i Newsweek
It existed to protect Jews from attacks and did so within the confines of free speech values, albeit with a liberal slant. I know because after my encounter with ADL in 1987, I volunteered as an ADL legal intern. It was fun, and I did believe I was doing good. Everyone believed that. And it was true.
The ADL taught me that nastygrams from Jew haters were just the price we pay for liberty, worthy of being filed and forgotten. This is not Weimar Germany; it is America. We have a First Amendment, we have civil rights, we have a working democracy. That is part of the good we have done.
But the ADL no longer believes this. It has become part of a great online censorship machine that is being exposed day after day as an anti-free speech enterprise.
The national ADL, like the ACLU, the NAACP, and other formerly “apolitical” civil rights groups, is now merely a tax-exempt cadre of the national Democratic Party. Anyone paying any kind of attention knows this. And as the Democratic Party has moved further into the fringes of Left-wing lunacy, the ADL has moved with it—whether a Jewish “antidefamation” issue is at stake or not. The party requires it.
So it should come as no surprise that “X” (Twitter) CEO Elon Musk is now claiming the ADL has engaged in relentless efforts to delegitimize X, falsely smearing the platform and its owner for providing an antisemitic haven for “hate speech.” Per Musk, the ADL has gone so far as to lean on advertisers not to do business there. No shrinking violet himself, Musk has gone as far as threatening to sue the ADL for defamation. Naturally, Musk’s objections to being defamed “just prove” that Musk “really is” an antisemite.
(…)
Today’s ADL operates hand in hand with other formerly august institutions such as the SPLC and CAIR, dedicated to the proposition that all speech is not created equal. Having failed to persuade, the Left is now committed to censorship. And as state and federal governments get in on the act, the ACLU and other self-described champions of civil liberties are silent, or even cheer them on.

The Anti-Defamation League (“ADL”) has declared war on X. This isn’t because X is antisemitic. It’s because the ADL is a branch of the Democrat party. Elon Musk is vowing to fight back.
In 1913, B’nai B’rith founded the Anti-Defamation League (“ADL”) after Fulton County, Georgia, corrupt then and corrupt now, tried and convicted Leo Frank, a Jewish man, for a murder the evidence showed he didn’t commit. Since its inception, the ADL focused on addressing antisemitism in America. Everything changed in 2015 when Jonathan Greenblatt became the ADL’s CEO.
Greenblatt had been Special Assistant to Barack Obama. He is the perfect example of one side of the schism in today’s Judaism. On one side are what I call the “Torah Jews,” those whose values are shaped by the literal words of the first five books of the Bible, along with the Talmud and Midrash (the rabbinical commentaries on the Bible).
(…)
Under Greenblatt, the ADL followed John O’Sullivan’s law and moved left. For example, in 2020, the ADL partnered with Al Sharpton, “one of America’s most notorious anti-Semites.” In 1991, after a car driven in a Jewish motorcade accidentally ran a red light, killing one child and injuring another, Sharpton’s antisemitic demagoguery led to three days of violent rioting against Jews in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Four years later, Sharpton’s antisemitic demagoguery resulted in the fire-bombing of a Jewish-owned store in Harlem, killing seven people, none of whom were Jewish. (Liel Leibovitz has much more information about this noxious alignment with Sharpton, which goes against everything the ADL once stood for.)
In 2021, the ADL went after Tucker Carlson, not because he was antisemitic (so far as I know, he isn’t) but because he opposes open borders. That is, the ADL used an organization that is intended to fight antisemitism to defame someone in order to support the Biden administration’s illegal border policies.
The ADL’s “Center on Extremism” is as preoccupied with LGBTQ+ issues and Biden’s open border as it is with antisemitism. Chaya Raichik (aka Libs of TikTok), an Orthodox Jew, is on the extremism hit list for exposing hospitals that give minors toxic hormones and mutilating surgery. However, if you search for Marc Lamont Hill, an openly antisemitic academic, or Jew-hating members of the Squad, they’re not on the extremist hit list (although the latter show up in the occasional policy press release). If you’re a Democrat, you get a pass.
Regarding Raichik’s war on child mutilation, the ADL contends that it’s antisemitic to oppose mutilating children in the service of so-called transgenderism. Ironically, one of the things the Nazis, led by Mengele, reveled in was using “medicine” to mutilate children’s bodies.

Here’s ADL CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, bragging to MSNBC how the group extorts every single tech company in Silicon Valley to censor Americans and “ban” hate speech:
“From Amazon, to Microsoft, to Meta, and indeed to Twitter. We’ve dealt with them for years helping them to tackle the challenges of hate speech on their platforms.”
“The reason why we’re so concerned is because we think Twitter is such a consequential service, allowing people who created the toxicity on the platform that led to real world violence.”
“The conspiracy theories that dominated on Twitter for so long exploded in places like Pittsburg, Poway, El Paso, and of course in Washington, DC on J6.”
“Freedom of speech isn’t the freedom to slander people, Katie. Freedom of expression shouldn’t be the freedom to incite violence.”

ADL’s CEO broke his silence on 𝕏 and Elon by lying and trapping the host:
1) He claimed that Elon brought and amplified anti-semitism and hate speech back to the platform.
This is NOT TRUE. The 𝕏 Safety team shared that an independent assessment by Sprinklr found that hate speech impressions on 𝕏 “to be 0.003% compared to Twitter’s estimate of 0.012%.”
2) Greenblatt clarified that he has never claimed Elon or 𝕏 are anti-Semitic: “I don’t think Twitter as a platform is anti-Semitic.”
3) When Greenblatt was asked by the host (who also identified as Jewish) if he was seeking a position or donation from 𝕏 to the ADL, he took offense to this, called it an anti-semetic trope, almost as if he was trying to cancel him, leaving the host uncomfortable and defensive.
4) Greenblatt claimed ADL is NOT publicly or privately talking to advertisers, BUT shortly after, said, “It is true we did call for a pause back in November, after the acquisition and since then” and in a previous interview he stated “if it remains a hellscape the advertisers won’t take part in [Twitter]”
5) Greenblatt said the ADL is a SMALL non-profit in NY.
NOT TRUE. The ADL is an influential organization with over 100 years of history, and according to the ADL’s 2021 tax filings, the organization’s total revenue was $101 million with a balance sheet of $238 million.
They ALSO received millions of dollars of indirect government funding via grants to groups in which the ADL has special interests.
6) Greenblatt says the ADL works WITH other social media platforms, including Facebook. We saw in the Politico article that @elonmusk posted that the ADL indirectly CONTROLS what can be posted on Facebook.
7) Greenblatt claimed he doesn’t know what prompted Elon’s tweets, but Elon was clear it was prompted by the 60% drop in advertising from the ADL’s interference, which Greenblatt admitted in the video.
Doesn’t seem like the meeting with X CEO Linda Yaccarino went as well as Greenblatt is making it out to be.
“Did you know ADL trains every new FBI agent on their role as protectors of the American people and the Constitution?” Og det er nødvendigt, for der eksisterer meget racisme på internettet
