Heidi Li FeldmanA word about #ADL: As with most organizations, I donβt agree with every position they take. But when Musk accuses the most organized voice against #antisemitism in the U.S. of costing him ad revenue, he is leaning on a most #antisemitic dog whistle (that Jews control the media) and he most definitely knows it. 1/2
When the administration of my university and my faculty refused to take a stand against #antisemitism on campus, #ADL provided a systematic, safe way to raise the problem with the dean and the president of the university. There was no other way this could have been done. Whether on the bird site or elsewhere, it is imperative to have organizations to object and to educate about antisemitism and other forms of racism and bigotry. 2/2
Michael of St. Joseph ποΈ@heidilifeldman Does the ADL deserve recourse for making wild unverified claims about old Catholic schools killing and burying native Canadian children? These claims resulted in the arson of dozens of Christian churches in Canada.
Allen B. Skye@michaelofstjoseph @heidilifeldman 'During a penitential pilgrimage to Canada in July 2022, Pope Francis reiterated the apologies of the Catholic Church for its role, also acknowledging the system as genocide. In October 2022, the House of Commons unanimously passed a motion calling on the federal Canadian government to recognize the residential school system as genocide.'
Fuck off, you anti-semetic dickbag.

@raddude12 @heidilifeldman Pope Fransis apologizes for everything, it means nothing. Also, surely they can dig up one single example of these supposed murders? Right? https://nypost.com/2023/08/31/still-no-evidence-of-mass-graves-of-indigenous-children-in-canada/

Residential school denialists tried to dig up suspected unmarked graves in Kamloops, B.C., report finds | CBC News
Residential school deniers tried to dig up suspected unmarked grave sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School, not believing a May 2021 announcement that at as many as 215 Indigenous children had been buried there, according to a new report.
Jeremy (ΧΧ’Χ§Χ) πΊπ¦@michaelofstjoseph @heidilifeldman
The residential schools in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada all have unmarked graves with Indigenous and non-indigenous children in them.
They died of tuberculosis, typhus, polio, influenza, measles, smallpox, neglect, malnourishment, beatings, suicide, sexual predation, substance abuse, hyperthermia (frozen to death while attempting to run away)

Geoff Berner@michaelofstjoseph @heidilifeldman those claims are absolutely accurate and consistent with the Catholic Church's murderously abusive behaviour as an institution world wide. I'm sorry that's so difficult to accept. It's why, for instance, Germans are fleeing the church in their hundreds of thousands. Half a million in a year. https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/half-million-left-germanys-catholic-church-year-abuse-100436173
More than half a million left Germany's Catholic Church last year as abuse scandal swirls
More than half a million people formally left the Catholic Church in Germany last year, significantly higher than the previous record as the church wrestles with a long-running scandal over abuse by clergy and with calls for far-reaching reform
@michaelofstjoseph @heidilifeldman I'm reporting you for denying genocide.
Can you point to where I denied anything? I said "wild unverified claims." It is possible the claims are true, but there has yet to be any evidence produced from the alleged grave sites originally found 2 years ago. In the vandalism against Churches you read "dig them up." They started digging and have found nothing. The moment there is a "mass" amount of child remains found at the specific sites alleged, I will reverse course.

Zorro Notorious MEB π‘@heidilifeldman Have the ADL made a ststement about Musk and Twitter?
Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin π¦@AlgoCompSynth @heidilifeldman
The ADL have regularly raised the point that certain advertisements on Twitter/X are both wildly antisemitic (and the dogwhistles are getting old, most folks can hear them for what they are now) and, vitally, supported by MuskE. Critically, a report released in May of this year pointed at how Twitter's content moderation is less than useless.
https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/threads-hate-how-twitters-content-moderation-misses-mark
MuskE, as one does, has now accused them of being responsible for Twitter's ad revenue dropping, and not, as a sensible person might possibly expect, other advertisers preferring not to be associated with the KKK and blood-and-soil crowd.
This isn't endemic to MuskE's Folly, either. Going back for over a decade, the ADL have been critical of content moderation on the big name social media sites, particularly Meta, because antisemitism is nothing if not hard to stomp out without the proper tools, handled responsibly.
JebKFan@heidilifeldman Or once again he is incredibly less knowledgeable than he thinks he is? #arrogance
Karen Strickholm@heidilifeldman Yes, exactly. Musk is a bigot and a fascist, through and through.

Martin Rundkvist@heidilifeldman Let's remember though that when Musk accuses the Anti-Defamation League of costing him ad revenue, he is placing himself firmly in insane capitalist troll country with all sane good-faith commentators. (I do know that the US has many insane ones.)

Bonnie Sonder@heidilifeldman Musk was my man of the century for several years and it was hugely disappointing to learn daily once he bought Twitter that he is a stonecold scumbag.
