No More ADL

Pop quiz:

Which of these two individuals do you find more problematic?

Kyrie Irving, a kooky basketball player who believes that the Earth is flat, that JFK was shot by bankers, that the COVID vaccines were secretly a plot to connect all Black people to a supercomputer, and that Jews worship Satan and launched the slave trade?

Or Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, who accepted $500,000 from Irving last week without even meeting or even talking to the all-star—and who was then forced to give back the donation when Irving blatantly refused to apologize?

Let’s think about it for a minute. One of these guys is a weirdo with dumb opinions he may or may not actually believe. The other is running a soulless racket which just made it clear that you can say whatever you want about the Jews and buy your indulgences at a discount price.

Don’t get me wrong: I absolutely believe that Irving’s endorsement of a Black nationalist documentary based on an obscure Jew-hating book, to say nothing of Kanye West’s meltdown, will most likely contribute to a surge in antisemitism in America, particularly in the Black community. But we Jews don’t control Kyrie Irving; in theory, we do control the ADL, and we shouldn’t want our chief defense group to behave in a way that advances antisemitic conspiracy theories about shadowy Jews trafficking in money and influence for fun and profit.

All of this leads to one sorry conclusion: It’s time to say goodbye to the ADL. It can’t be killed, so we need to just walk away from this formerly venerable organization, and weaken it before it swerves so far off the road that it takes us with it.

Well, black Americans are racist.

Not sure about all blacks. Definitely some, and Moslem blacks would be so and just plain cruel besides.

“Yellows”?

Who the ***k calls Asians “yellows”, outside of the Hollywood stereotypes portrayed in the series, Kung Fu?

I’m not sure about that supercomputer one. How is that supposed to work?

The guy is 30 years old, the last time someone taught him anything not about BB, was when he was in 5th grade. A lot of people are sucked into flat earth belief. A lot of people just find something new and are “all in”. He is likely processing new information out loud, instead of within. He needs affirmation, and that is something people usually get from growing up with a lot of love and nurture. IDK about his family situation growing up but..... future superstar baller and black.... his mom worshipped him, and black people are already told “its all a lie”. It is the new masters way of keeping them down and it works on all races.

Consistency, and accuracy, and simplicity.

I’m not into PCness.

Has the ADL ever apologized for Leo Frank?

i>ADL are just shakedown artists. They call you anti-semitic until you give them some money.

they're not even JEWS! Greenblatt is a deformed JINO who does not observe any of the commandments of the Torah
