ADL attacked Bannon and Breitbart media, but simply forgot about Soros all during the Obama administration....
Jonathan Greenblatt, President of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) served as Special Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Social Innovation and Civic Participation in the Domestic Policy Council for the Obama Administration, in one of the most anti-Israel administrations in history.
So, it should not come as a surprise that the organization he leads today attacked President-elect Trump’s appointee Stephen Bannon and Mr. Bannon’s company, Breitbart media, “saying Bannon’s association with “unabashed anti-Semites and racists” is disqualifying.” (This, from the same ADL who refuses to comment on one of Hillary’s largest donors, Israel-hating, George Soros and others with awful records on Israel.)
In fact, as the Zionist Organization of America noted today, there is an extensive record of “…Mr. Bannon’s and Breitbart’s friendship and fair-mindedness towards Israel and the Jewish people. To accuse Mr. Bannon and Breitbart of anti-Semitism is Orwellian. In fact, Breitbart bravely fights against anti-Semitism....

Ping!
Once the Democrats name Keith Ellison party chair all this stuff about Bannon is going to melt away like a late April snow.
Also Andrew Beitbart was Jewish. Raised in The Brentwood area of LA...
Only ONE Presidental Candidate said he would follow the Embassy relocation act of 1995 which stated that the US Embassy would be moved to Jerusalem....every administration since 1995 has given a variety of excuases as to WHY NOT NOW.
President Elect Trump also said that the eternal capitol of Israel is Jerulsalem and it shall remain a unified and undivided city....
Why any Jew world wide would not like that or defy it to follow left wing whack jobs is beyond my brains pay grade..
As a follower of Yeshua ha Mashiach ( Jesus is Messiah) I support Israel!

Secular Jews screwed themselves royally by going 71% for Hillary. They are now out in the cold. Trump’s son in law being Jewish won’t help them. What Jews always has was money to give to a campaign - there are so few of them that for the most part they don’t sway elections by their votes. Trump didn’t need their money or want it. The Democrats will make a Jew hating Muslim the head of the DNC. Maybe they’ll just stay home :-).
Just like there are ‘genuine’ Christians and ‘liberal post-Christians’ or ‘cafeteria Catholics’
there are ‘genuine’ Jews and ‘liberal or reform’ Jews
in all cases, the ‘genuine’ ones place their faith in God (and trying to live moral lives) FIRST
while in all cases, the other kinds place their idolization of leftist/communist/socialist politics first (they are essentially pagans despite any protestations otherwise)
and in all cases, the ‘genuine’ believers really can’t figure out anything much they can actuall do about the commie heathen types Continuing To Use The Titles Christian Jewish or Catholic
it is false advertising, misleading labeling...and would be prosecuted if it involved anything other than religion
Impotent Rage About Trump Directed At Steve Bannon –Jewish Press
Joel Pollak takes down Don Lemon, Irrelevant McMuffin and Kurt Bardella in a debate about Steve Bannon (Pollak, senior editor at Breitbart, is an Orthodox Jew)
ZOA Criticizes ADL for Falsely Alleging Trump Advisor Bannon is Anti-Semitic –Zionist Org of America
I’ve seen the antisemite smear on FR too.
Thanks for those links. I only saw one of them earlier.
That tells you all you need to know in order to realist this SoB is a lying piece of trash throwing out the antisemitic card the same way Barry throws around the race card.
I am an ordained minister.
I was raised on the Bible, and first learned what it meant to be a Jew by reading the Bible, cover to cover.
When I was at university, contemplating possible seminary later, I took two years of Hebrew.
The teacher was quasi-Orthodox; she was a native of Israel. Since Hebrew had been fossilized by the Diaspora for two thousand years, she used it as one of our texts: Unlike Latin, the language is basically the same today.
I was the only Gentile in the class; all others were “Jews”; yet none of the others knew the first thing about the many Bible references that the teacher used. I was the only one who knew what she was discussing.
Th rest of the class were all atheist/agnostic, hedonistic leftists. Some of them had been in kibbutzes, some had been to Israel.
Their definition of Jew was strictly cultural and political; mine was strictly religious.
(Although I never mentioned it to them, my Jewish forebear was an actual Semite with an actual Hebrew surname, but since she was what would now be called a Messianic Jew, I knew they would not respect her.)
Going all the way back to Sinai, there was division within the Jewish community between believers and (essentially) non-believers.
The believers (largely but not entirely synonomous with the Orthodox Jews)... are mostly of the view that it would do no good to confront the (mostly, not entirely) “reform” or pagan types. Internal strife has been the cause of several serious downfalls in Jewish history. The believing Jews just try to quietly and respectfully ‘bring the other types around’ as best they can, and by living as good an example as they’re capable. Unfortunately, the very same problem or division exists within the Catholic and Protestant communities... with some pretty genuine believers...and with some leftist/socialist/communistic/progressivist ‘liberals”... either ‘cafeteria Catholics” or (since Protestantism allows new denominations) “liberal Protestants”
NONE of the more traditional believers in God (Catholic, Protestant, or Jewish) seem to have discovered a really effective way to bring faith to their ‘reform’ or ‘liberal’ or ‘cafeteria’ neighbors.
Perhaps we just have to keep faith alive, keep the door open with the welcome mat out, and pray. It has been taught that faith is a gift from God, after all May HE kindle a measure of sincere faith... in all of the wayward or “fallen” or assimilated or “reform” or “liberal” people!
We’ve certainly seen a huge display of wounded egos in this election. Trouble is, the left has started to believe their own citation-free accusations. And when someone says, “Prove it,” they quote their own previously stated opinion.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

In fairness, GWB not only campaigned on it, in was in the GOP platform in 2000 and 2004. Even Colin Powell was on board, until he wasn't
Have to make a big deal about Ellison.
Not only make a big deal about Ellison, but also demand that they substantiate the allegations of “unabashed racism” against Breitbart, throw around the term “neo-McCarthyite” and “smear campaign,” and maybe a lawsuit or two.
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.
Please remove me from the Ping List.
I am a staunch supporter of Israel, and I don’t mind receiving a message once, maybe twice a month, but not too frequently.
Thank you.
