But in recent decades under Abraham Foxman and now under former Obama White House staffer Greenblatt, it has morphed into a left wing political organization falsely posing as the conscientious voice of the American Jewish community.
It's obvious that today's ADL now frequently refuses to call out left wing antisemites (like Hillary Clinton) for whom they are, while at the same time is more than glad to falsely accuse conservatives of the same.
No doubt that the current ADL has totally lost sight of its original mission and has lost credibility, so it's encouraging to see voices within the American Jewish community, like the author of the posted article, criticizing the ADL on its reckless statements.
From this Jewish perspective, the ADL should either change its leadership and move in a politically non-partisan direction or pass into the ash bin of history.
Indeed.
There are a number of organizations whose founders would be appalled at their present-day agendas.
Agreed Have also had occasion to see that the new ADL provides little if any help to Jooos suffering from anti- Semitic attacks or discriminations. ADL needs to get back to its historic mission or a new outfit needs to be established to help protect innocent Jewish people from bigotry and discriminations.
