One day after Elon Musk agrees with a great replacement Jews "hatred against whites" tweet, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League thanks Elon for his "leadership in fighting hate" because he's suspending X users who post the phrases "decolonization" or "from the river to the sea"

The ADL is a sad cautionary tale about where a virtuous mission will take you when it becomes monomania.

I really, really hope they get their heads out of their asses — or that a more circumspect organization picks up their original mission of fighting actual antisemitism. Because we urgently need people doing that right now, and the ADL ain’t it.

@inthehands @micahflee Do you think maybe there's a tension between fighting antisemitism, and supporting revisionist Zionism?

I do. I think Netanyahu and his friends want me to feel unsafe as a Jew, so I'll accept their crimes as necessary evils.

@fivetonsflax @micahflee
Indeed, and I think the ADL has •exacerbated• antisemitism by trying to argue that any criticism of the Israeli government is antisemitic, which has ended up wrongly implying that all Jews everywhere are responsible for that gov and every awful thing it does. Don’t think ADL would agree that’s what they’re implying, but they really have kind of backed themselves into that corner.
@inthehands @fivetonsflax @micahflee The ADL argued no such thing. But nice try to say that a group that fights antisemitism is responsible for promoting it. It's an argument worthy of Elon Musk.
@tobie1 @inthehands @micahflee Elon Musk, the guy the head of the ADL keeps praising? 🤔
