ADL is an evil marxist front and needs to be destroyed. Good on Musk for calling them out.
Greenfield always a must read.
Don’t care.
You were beat up by a group of bullies but can only produce evidence against one? Well you had better not do anything about it unless you can convict them all young man.
Is that the logic here?
Because personally I do not find it a logical line of reasoning.
It was never good for anything but under its current head, Jonathan Greenblatt, it's become a generic woke group dedicated to intersectionality.
Uh huh? And you have done what about them? You have written a few articles that have objectively done nothing.
But when someone else may you want to cry because he is not going after another group?
Yeah, let's be honest here. You would not be crying if he went after BLM but someone else on the "conservative" side would and they would use the exact same logic. And the logic stinks.
“A total of 40 organizations including the ADL, GLAAD, the NAAC,P Muslim Advocates, National Hispanic Media Coalition, United Church of Christ and many others urged advertisers to boycott Twitter.”
Perhaps so, but if you cut off the head of the snake, the group that is leading the effort, it gets MUCH TOUGHER for the followers (as in those other ones listed) to be effective.
I have NO DOUBT that Musk knows where the jugular is in this crap, as it’s his many billions at stake. As to this article, there might be a bit of ‘circling the wagons’ going on here.
I’m OK with Musk making the ADL the face of those pressuring advertisers. Anything that takes them down a notch is OK by me.
I love how the left is painting the adl as ‘Jews’ in general now. They’re the same as the splc or alcu now
I will stop believing that when the ADL goes after Soros for his involvement with the Nazis during WWII, and his public denial that he felt any sense of guilt or remorse for what he did. He excused himself by saying that if he didn't do it, someone else would have.
Go to war with them.
They had a woman that was on Twitter Spaces last night arguing for the censorship and the guests asked her if she still worked for Black Cube (Israeli intelligence).
She immediately deleted her account.
The ADL is not a Jewish group.
It is a front for the socialist democrats and simply uses Jews and Judaism as a cover for its political activities.
Well that's your mistake, right there.
I’m sure he has the receipts
That’s a sensational headline.
” he began promoting a campaign by Keith Woods”
“The barrage began Saturday, when Musk liked a post by YouTube influencer Keith O’Brien”
Why didn’t Greenfield sight the Keith O’Brien post that Musk “Liked”? He included posts from years ago. I guess if you agree with something a despicable person says or does, that makes you just as bad?
Where’s the O’Brien quote that Musk “Liked”?
And while the ADL is a reprehensible group, there are currently 60 organizations in the #StopToxicTwitter coalition representing a range of leftist groups. Musk apparently decided it was easier to target the ADL.
And he didn’t just target the ADL, he began promoting a campaign by Keith Woods: an antisemitic Irish vlogger with a long ugly history of attacking Jews. Not the ADL, Jews.
This is not as simple an article as I first thought. While Greenfield does not like the ADL, he points out that the vlogger that Musk referenced is in fact, virulently anti-Jew.
Which always sets off Greenfield's "Danger" warnings.
He doesn't defend the ADL as much as question the value of this particular battle for Jews, like himself.

The ADL are Jews, but they are not "The Jews".
So the headline is slander by implication.
Musk said that most of the advertisers he spoke to referred specifically to pressure by the ADL. He didn’t blame Jews, he blamed the ADL.
As a complete outsider to all of this, this is what I see: Greenfield says the ADL is bad, and then spends an entire article explaining why Musk should not sue them, tries to divert the subject to other organizations, and then smears Musk by claiming he associates with anti-Semites. If Greenfield really thinks the ADL is as bad as he says, why does he go after Musk so hard? Strange, isn’t it?
“The ADL is a garbage leftist organization.”
How does blaming a leftist organization smear Jews?
Your argument is stupid on its face.
Musk said himself that pressure from the ADL was the #1 reason cited by advertisers for dropping Twitter/X. This is why he singled them out. It wasn’t because he “liked” a post from this guy Keith Woods.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Greenblatt has a HUGE conflict of interest. He served for 3 years as a political appointee of the Obama administration. This alone should have disqualified him from being the national director of the ADL.
The ADL is the Jewish Mafia and are nothing more than shake down artists. Donate to them or they’ll call you a Nazi
