Anti-Defamation League blasts Trump for 'invoking support for Israel to defend this racism' David Knowles, The Anti-Defamation League denounced President Trump’s “racist” tweets telling four Democratic congresswomen to “go back” to the “crime infested places from which they came.” In an op-ed published Tuesday for NBC News, ADL president Jonathan Greenblatt did not mince words, calling Trump’s rhetoric “ripped straight from a white supremacist manifesto.” Greenblatt wrote that Trump’s insistence Monday that the four congresswomen — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts — hate America and Israel was troubling. “Trump’s language was absolutely and unquestionably racist despite his denials to the contrary,” Greenblatt wrote. The ADL, a civil rights organization founded to “stop the defamation of the Jewish people,” also noted on its website that Trump’s attack on the Democratic lawmakers “was greeted with enthusiasm by white supremacists and other extremists.” Neo-Nazi Andrew Anglin, for instance, applauded Trump on his website, the Daily Stormer. The ADL was not the only U.S. Jewish group to decry Trump’s attacks on the congresswomen. Israel Policy Forum columnist Michael Koplow wrote that invoking Israel to defend Trump’s “vile racism” could ultimately cause more harm than good. Over the past two days, Trump has launched a campaign against the four congresswomen in what some have read to be a calculated effort to further divide the Democratic Party. “It seems the president would like to foment a civil war among Democrats, using Israel as a wedge,” Zev Chafets, a journalist and former senior aide to Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, wrote at Bloomberg. “Nothing they say about this country will be any worse than the things you can hear in Israel’s own legislature, the Knesset, every day,” Chafets wrote. |

More dirty toilet water via the OP: "In the months leading up to the U.S. presidential election in November 2016, a former director of the World Jewish Congress decried the direction in which the new head of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) was taking the international human rights group. In a series of columns, Isi Leibler -- a prominent Australian Israeli -- blasted ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt, a former adviser to President Barack Obama, for turning the 100-year-old organization, whose mission is to monitor and expose anti-Semitism and other forms of racism, into a platform that "represents an echo chamber of left-wing Democratic politics."
