The ADL has absolutely failed Jews worldwide by joining up with Israel in its mission to inextricably link Israel and Judaism. When I was young, I was told that the ADL had my back. I don’t feel that way anymore. They’d be more likely to call me an antisemite, something I’ve been called by other Israel-fanatic Jews before. It makes me laugh when they do it, but I feel like there’s no one on my side when it comes to an organization confronting and documenting actual antisemitism at this point.
