The horses' mouth: "The last thing I’ll say is that one of the admirable things in the 1960s about the ADL and the liberal coalition it belonged to is that it built support for landmark legislation like the Immigration Act of 1965, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of ’65. '

Oooooof.
Single-handedly some of the biggest policies that have led to the destruction we see today. Funny how that works huh?
Bugging out on this thread for tonight but I'm appending one last comment to the top thread. Thanks Pickle.
I totally missed the following in the Times of Israel article:
Dallek: "But the ADL also had undercover agents with code names, who were able to infiltrate the society’s headquarters in Belmont, Massachusetts, and various chapter officers. They dug up financial and employment information about individual Birchers."
[...]
Elia-Shalvev: "That last thought brings to mind another, right-wing Jewish group that existed in this era of taking things into our own hands, that did use violence, explosives even."
Dallek: "You mean the Jewish Defense League, led by Meir Kahane."
Elia-Shalvev: "Yes, exactly."
Dallek: "He was a Bircher. Toward the end of my book, I mention that he was a member for a while, under his alias Michael King."
WHAT THE FUCK? So an ADL agent went on to form an internationally recognized terrorist group and he got his start by spying on American grassroots politics?
