In response to one of the most transparently obvious flexes of Jewish power in history, the conservatives/right-liberal/anti-idpol/anti-woke/whatever gatekeeping milieu has to run some damage control to suggest that despite all outward appearances, we're not witnessing an act of Jewish power but instead an act of mere leftism and promotion of the Democrat party. This conservative interpretation relies upon the ADL's combination of Jewish Supremacy with leftist advocacy and its close relationship with Democrats in recent history. While the ladder gives some credibility to this interpretation, there are a number of glaring problems.
First off, the ADL maintains a Zionist disposition and consistently advocates on behalf of Israel. If they are all about Democrat partisanship, why do that have the same position on Israel as the Republicans, including Trump?
Secondly, the ADL has done a number of oddly specific things that have no obvious pro-leftist/democrat implications. As u/trump4045 said, they attacked Iceland for trying to ban circumcision. The ADL also attacked AirBnB for boycotting Israeli settlemnts. How does any of that help promote leftism/dems?
Thirdly, it's one thing to examine the ADL's motives, but you also have to look at the responses to them. While the ADL doesn't get their way 100% of the time - PewDiePie and Tucker Carlson come to mind - it's staggering how many times the ADL has told seemingly powerful institutions to "jump" only to be answered with "how high?" Is nearly every organization on Earth leftist/dem controlled?
Fourthly, the ADL isn't the even the only Jewish organization involved. While the AJC has worked with the ADL at times, it's still a separate org with its own leaders and history, and you can interrogate its actions along the same lines as my first two critiques above.
Lastly, I can't help but chuckle at the reversal of fortunes here. It's usually the critics of Jewish power who have to fight off accusations, including from this conservative/whatever milieu, that we are flat-earth tier conspiracy theorists reading tea leaves, yet here it is them who are saying, in so many words, "The ADL has all the appearances of a Jewish supremacist organization, but that's just what THEY want you to think!"
