Anti-Defamation League: Huckabee 'completely out of line'
CNN.com ^ | 7/27/2015 | Deena Zaru

Posted on 07/27/2015 12:28:40 PM PDT by GoneSalt

The Anti-Defamation League, a prominent Jewish advocacy group, slammed former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee's comments Sunday that Obama is marching Israelis to "the door of the oven" by agreeing to the Iran nuclear deal.

Jonathan A. Greenblatt, the national director of the organization, issued a statement, calling the Republican 2016 hopeful's comments invoking the Holocaust "completely out of line and unacceptable."

"Israeli military and security officials have repeatedly said the Obama Administration has been as strong as any other American administration in keeping Israel secure," Greenblat writes.

"To hear Mr. Huckabee invoke the Holocaust when America is Israel's greatest ally and when Israel is a strong nation capable of defending itself is disheartening," Greenblat continues.

Whose side is Greenblat on anyway?

Soros made a big donation again didn’t he?

Did ADL understand what Huckabee said or are they just having a knee-jerk reaction to something that contained anti-Semitic key words?
Like you can't use the N-word in a sentence even when it's in support of the black community. It's too toxic.

The ADL does almost no good for Jews facing discrimination.
Occasionally the ADL issues a helpful press release but this sure ain’t one of them!

I think the Jewish people need a new organization to replace ADL, an outfit that will actually fight for the civil rights and liberties of Jewish people suffering discriminatory abuses.

Maybe Huckabee could follow up by calling the ADL “Obama’s Goebbels”

Just goes to show you how totally out of original spec the ADL has become. Nothing more than a Commie shill purporting to be vaguely connected with something Jewish.

Just like Al Sharpton, the ADL is in the outrage business.

IOW, Greenblat is just as much in the bag for Zero and the Demagogic Party as Foxman was.

From what I've heard, the new ADL national director is a former Obama administration official. So for him to be "in the bag for Zero" is hardly earth shaking. Here he is starting his new position at the ADL according to form.

The ADL's historical function is to speak out against anti-Semites and anti-Semitism, not against philosemites concerned about the survival of Jews and Israel. Greenblat here is doing just the opposite of what ADL is supposed to do. He should be either praising Huckabee for his remarks, or at worst, be keeping quiet.

Huckabee trying to be Trump, he should stick to collecting donations and hawking his books.

Maybe it's the "Don't cry wolf" theory. If politicians start using gas chamber analogies all the time, it could lessen the impact. If it becomes acceptable, politicians will be using such references all the time.

Like you can't use the N-word in a sentence even when it's in support of the black community. It's too toxic.

Realistically, how is that supposed to work? It might provide a funny sketch for Key and Peele, but come on ...

ADL..

Another worthless group who worships at the feet of George Soros. Crying shame they would sell out their own people for some silver and gold.

Let’s be honest about who Jonathon Greenblatt is: Special Assistant to President Obama and Director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation.

He’s been a this new job with the ADL for about a week.

CNN is simply dishonest.

The ADL might not like being reminded that, if Iran gets its way, the Holocaust could happen again.

As “Insensitive” as Huck’s statement was, he was probably right.

No, not the “Masada Complex” which was one of we would rather kill ourselves than be killed by the Romans or become their slaves ago.

This is the German Jews of 1930’s mentality. We are good German citizens. The country would never do anything against us.

“Don’t run. Everything is all right”.

My grandmother’s family from Lemberg did that and they all were murdered either there or in Belzec or Auschwitz concentration camps.

Greenblatt is a KAPO, a religious traitor, and a Democrat genocide-enabler.

To #12: Good point. Let’s officially label Greenblat as a “SonderKommando Oven Stuffer”.

Do they have any credibility left that’s visible to the naked eye?

Jonathan A. Greenblatt is a former Soros operative who worked for the Obama administration. The ADL is not Jewish anymore. It is a leftist organization that eats lox and undermines the security of Jews in America and the survival of Israel.
