The Anti-Defamation League’s call for the FBI and IRS to surveil, investigate, and possibly prosecute student activists is a new level in its McCarthyite campaign to silence any and all criticism of Israel. 

Palestine Writes responds to racist attacks on the literature festival: “Palestine Writes is a small moment for us to exist with agency in the fullness of our brilliance, ancient heritage, stories, music, dance, and other art forms. This also includes our defiance against our colonizers.”

Despite clear video evidence and statements from aid groups, ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt says Israeli forces blocking Palestinian ambulances is “complete fiction.”

Just as the Nakba is at the heart of Palestinian national existence, the denial of the Nakba is at the heart of the racist ideology that has so successfully warped U.S. foreign policy.

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt attacked anti-Zionists in an address at the organization’s annual National Leadership Summit but barely mentioned far-right antisemitism.

The new Israeli government is so radical that even moderate Israelis are saying that Zionism is racism. That’s what scares American Jewish leaders and why they will rely even more on the lie that Anti-Zionism is antisemitism. This must not be allowed to succeed.

The Anti Defamation League’s yearly conference features student-oriented sessions on “Anti-Zionism’s Global Reach” and how students can confront anti-Zionism on campus. As the ADL brings together youth and educators under the misleading banner of “fighting hate,” our movements must come together to affirm that the ADL is not an ally to working class and oppressed peoples, nor to students and teachers.

U.N. human rights investigator Miloon Kothari has now apologized for criticizing the “Jewish lobby.” But Israel advocates including Alan Dershowitz, Stu Eizenstat, JJ Goldberg and Bari Weiss have long acknowledged the power of the Israel lobby in forming U.S. policy, and said it expresses the goals of the Jewish community.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a non-profit organization founded in 1913. Masquerading as a “civil rights” group, the history of the ADL show its mission is to protect the mutual interests of the US and Israeli governments – and to eliminate solidarity among oppressed and colonized peoples, especially concerning Palestine.

In response to Jonathan Greenblatt’s recent attack on the Palestinian rights movement, over 30 organizations declare “ADL: your lies will never silence the movement for Palestinian liberation!”
