Eleven years ago, the Anti-Defamation League surprised many by opposing an Islamic center planned for Lower Manhattan, blocks from the World Trade Center site the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, even as its leader denounced anti-Muslim bigotry.
Now, the ADL’s CEO says the position, taken four years before he joined the civil rights organization, was a mistake.
“We were wrong, plain and simple,” Jonathan Greenblatt wrote in an op-ed published Saturday morning on CNN. […]
The apology comes days before the 20th anniversary of the 2001 attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington, D.C. and Pennsylvania It also comes in the days before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, holidays that ask Jews to take stock of their misdeeds and commit to improved behavior. …

“Worldly Jews have no loyalty to decency, bar-none.”
To them, they fear their children (voluntarily) converting to Christianity more than seeing their childrens’ heads being cut off, and so that drives EVERYTHING they stand for.

Don't forget these same PoS where the ones that promoted the "OK" symbol being a symbol of hatred by saying it was a hoax as proof it was legit. Ponder the paradox.
Why anyone even cares what they say -- regardless of religion -- is beyond me.

If it’s even started it’d be the most vandalized structure ever.

Wow. I don’t think the ADL has EVER apologized to anyone, for anything, before. They’ve certainly never apologized to any of their Christian targets.
