The Israel lobby group ADL tried to stop the Nakba commemoration at the Capitol by saying that Rashida Tlaib had slandered Israel. The historic ceremony was carried off thanks to Bernie Sanders.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has blocked an educational event about the Nakba featuring Rashida Tlaib at the Capitol, saying he will honor Israel instead.

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

After doing all he can to avoid confronting Netanyahu, Joe Biden called on him to halt judicial overhaul and said he’s not invited to Washington. Biden knows major Jewish groups have his back.

I disagreed with my friends who tried to tell me years ago — Israel will just get more rightwing, messianic, and hateful to Palestinians, and the U.S. government and Jewish community will just enable it. But they were right.

The ADL’s annual audit on antisemitism in the U.S. offers a distorted view of the issue because the group counts anti-Zionist protests against Israel as antisemitic acts.

The Anti-Defamation League has long made it a priority to conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism, but in recent years, it has become almost an obsession. The group’s latest report subverts the fight against antisemitism towards support for Israeli crimes.

If you don’t want to socialize with people who support Israel, or you think Israel treats Palestinians the way Nazis treated Jews, you’re antisemitic, according to a new survey by the ADL aimed at branding “highly negative” views of Israel as bigotry, thereby granting political immunity to apartheid. “You hate the Jewish state, chances are you also deeply dislike the Jewish people,” says Jonathan Greenblatt.

The Harvard Kennedy School’s brazen move to rescind a fellowship to Kenneth Roth over criticism of Israel is becoming a massive own goal for the institution. Organizations are calling for Kennedy School Dean Douglas Elmendorf’s resignation, Roth hitting the interview circuit, and a fresh round of people checking out Human Right Watch’s apartheid report.

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.
