BONUS: ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt was just asked if he was seeking to have a role at X or shaking Elon down for donations to the ADL (like he did to Adidas and the Brooklyn Nets) and he responds by saying that's an "anti-Semitic trope." https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1699503671011061784
Yeah, that's a better way of putting it. The ADL is very effective in executing censorship so if that's why someone donates, they are getting what they paid for.
Considering what a donation is, in this case and most, they'll donate.
It could also be called a gift-in-kind that you don't pay taxes on.
I owe you some money? Why pay you directly when I can deposit into your charity and pay no taxes? You deposit in my charity, and we both bill them for our plane flights to Vegas.
That's recency bias at work. It took a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to normalize criticism of the ADL. The kosher right knows they can't put that genie back in the lamp without self-discrediting so they are co-opting anti-ADL sentiment into "actually the worse thing about the ADL is that they promote anti-semitism."
It's funny seeing jewish pundits on the right try and claim the ADL doesn't represent jews, but rather is just a radical leftist org that happens to be run by jews.
A more honest but still defensive take would be "it represents some Jews". Which wouldn't even be a lie, since "some" can be any number between 2 and all-but-one.
Anyone who's ever read the Bible knows that "God's Chosen People" went astray like clockwork and consistently needed metaphorical slaps upside the head by The Big Man to put them back onto the right path.
In this cycle, Elon will be playing the role of the Prophet of God (lol) calling them out on their bad behavior. I really hope things turn around before we get dragged into the Conquered by Philistines/Exiled to Babylon phase....
I noticed that too, they're not using the proper dash- I thought the Juden were supposed to be well-educated? It should be "anti-Semitic" because it's opposed to the Semitic people.
Anti-gun means you're against guns, if someone says "antigun" you can be "What's an antigun? What caliber round does it take? Is it a pistol, rifle, shotgun?"
The specter of anti-semitism is heavily ingrained in their culture and history. It's what drives their 'us against the world' attitude, which is what drives their nepotism and is often used as internal justification for outright subversion and blatant dishonesty. Which, over time, turn fake, non-existent or rare antisemitism into real antisemitism. And the cycle continues.

Is it a grift if the ADL achieves the donors' desired results?
No, it's the kind of shakedown organized criminals engage in.
It could be argued the ADL is exactly that. Organized criminals.
The same could be said of its donors.
Yeah, that's a better way of putting it. The ADL is very effective in executing censorship so if that's why someone donates, they are getting what they paid for.
You are... oh what was the word... oh yes, YOU ARE BASED
There's a joke here somewhere...
THAT'S ANTI-SEMETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
$10? What do you need $5 for?

Crying out while striking someone?!
Sometimes I wonder if the ADL is run by antisemites to gaslight people. That's how far they have gone. Fucking hell.

what a cohencidence

It's called not being able to help themselves.
I mean they’re run by jews

You know, the Jews have a bit of a history of killing the prophets who call them out...
They also have a habit of being conquered and humiliated for generations afterwards.
I like how basically all comments here have a single downvote
ghost of jester
Amuses me slightly that "antisemitism" fails their spellcheck. Their own computer is like "Bro, that's not even a real word".
I noticed that too, they're not using the proper dash- I thought the Juden were supposed to be well-educated? It should be "anti-Semitic" because it's opposed to the Semitic people.

The rounds are made out of antimatter
the adl should be scattered to the winds, its employees all imprisoned, and its assets distributed to those it has wronged.
Why does the document have the red squiggle lines still on it? Does the ADL lazily send out word docs?
I trust the rabbi just as much as Goldblatt.
Elon is going for the "Your bad behavior reinforces false stereotypes about your people" route.
Big mistake. Not going to work.
