"Wikipedia’s editors declared that the Anti-Defamation League cannot be trusted to give reliable information on the Israel-Palestine conflict, and they overwhelmingly said the ADL is an unreliable source on antisemitism. It’s a stunning rebuke to one of the world’s preeminent authorities on anti-Jewish hate and a significant advocate for the rights and causes of American Jews."

"Wikipedia's editors have voted to declare the Anti-Defamation League "generally unreliable" on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, adding it to a list of banned and partially banned sources."

"An overwhelming majority of editors involved in the debate about the ADL also voted to deem the organization unreliable on the topic of antisemitism, its core focus. A formal declaration on that count is expected next."

"The decision about Israel-related citations, made last week, means that one of the most prominent and longstanding Jewish advocacy groups in the United States – and one historically seen as the leading U.S. authority on antisemitism – is now grouped together with the National Inquirer, Newsmax, and Occupy Democrats as a source of propaganda or misinformation in the eyes of the online encyclopedia."

"Moreover, in a near consensus, dozens of Wikipedia editors involved in the discussion said they believe the ADL should not be cited for factual information on antisemitism as well because it acts primarily as a pro-Israel organization and tends to label legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism."

@wdlindsy they are not wrong. The ADL has accused many Jews of antisemitism for not agreeing with Israel’s Zionist agenda which breaks every commandment.

“because it acts primarily as a pro-Israel organization and tends to label legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism."
That’s exactly what ADL do.
They stifle dissent using false claims of antisemitism to do so.
They equate antizionism with antisemitism which is wrong.
