Over 1,500 rabbis agree that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is “no longer competent to identify, let alone combat, antisemitism.'”
An ADL spokesperson, describing the new initiative, wrongly claimed that “Anti-Israel activism in and of itself is not antisemitism” and that they would need to “carefully evaluate” student government resolutions supporting BDS, the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement that seeks to destroy the State of Israel.
As explained by Discover the Networks:
The Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement is a Hamas-inspired initiative that aims to use various forms of public protest, economic pressure, and court rulings to advance the Hamas agenda of permanently destroying Israel as a Jewish nation-state. While Hamas pursues this goal in its low-intensity war against Israel by means of terrorism and bloodshed, BDS supplements those efforts in the United States.
In June, the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement slammed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh for “betraying” Palestinians because he met with the Moroccan Prime Minister. The rage was due to Morocco’s normalization agreement with Israel.
Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV) Southern Regional Vice President Rabbi Moshe B. Parnes rightly states:
“Only someone with no sense of Jewish history could claim that BDS is not antisemitic.”
On May 31, I wrote an extensive article about the ADL and its “Brief History on Antisemitism,” which focuses on Christians, while completely avoiding the ongoing jihad against Israel. Even some churches today, as well as the World Council of Churches, ruled by globalist doctrine and liberation theology, sympathize with the Palestinian resistance against Israel. They buy into the lie that the Palestinians are the victims while Israel, struggling for its survival since 1948, is the “oppressor.” See the Kairos Palestine document, which drives this agenda, HERE.
Those with common sense and a minimum knowledge of history should be questioning the willful blindness and the agenda of the ADL.
“1,500+ rabbis say ADL no longer competent to identify, let alone combat, antisemitism,” Coalition for Jewish Values, August 3, 2021:
Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV) took renewed aim at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today, after the ADL announced a partnership with Hillel International, the Jewish college organization, to document antisemitism on American campuses. While such an effort is noble and worthwhile, the ADL, CJV points out, demonstrated that it lacks the moral clarity to properly identify antisemitism, let alone combat it. An ADL spokesperson, describing the new initiative, wrongly claimed that “Anti-Israel activism in and of itself is not antisemitism” and that they would need to “carefully evaluate” student government resolutions supporting BDS, the international Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement that seeks to destroy the State of Israel.
“Only someone with no sense of Jewish history could claim that BDS is not antisemitic,” said CJV Southern Regional Vice President Rabbi Moshe B. Parnes. “The first Nazi edict was a boycott of Jewish businesses; economic warfare directed against the Jewish people was then and has always been one of the first signs of systemic Jew-hatred. Combating antisemitism in all its forms defined the ADL’s mission throughout its long and storied history, and it is crucial that it return to its core goals.”
For millennia, antisemitism has been driven by fabricated conspiracy theories regarding Jewish supremacists acquiring wealth by means of thievery and fraud. In the modern era, the same fictional beliefs are applied to the State of Israel. BDS arose from and is perpetuated by the same concocted claims expressed as land theft, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and similar terms, providing a prime example of ancient antisemitism in new dress….

What was their first clue???
It took them long enough to work out.
Mae~mae says
Imagine that, but we still have work to do to educate more and unlock brains from indoctrination that has been going on for many years.
Rob Porter says
Mae-mae – Big surprise! I’ve just discovered that Kairos is a ‘Canadian faith-based ecumenical organization’. What ‘faith’? It would be fascinating to establish because it certainly is not Christianity. I would like to know, because in South Africa I came across their leftist, pro-communist, sometimes incoherent material that communists employed to justify murderous savagery in black townships.
I had no problem with anti-apartheid material, but when this supported communism as an alternative and encouraged Christians to ’embrace communism alongside Christianity’ – two utterly incompatible beliefs with communists having persecuted millions of Christians, I emphatically rejected their nonsense. Back in 1986, in a public meeting held by the Methodist Church north of Durban, I took the opportunity to discredit the Kairos positions and convinced the Methodist Church to reject Kairos advocacies. How fascinating now to learn that these feckless Canadian leftist busybodies are involved in anti-Israel activity!
It never ceases to amaze me how much leftist, pro-communist and feckless rubbish emerges from Canada. Apparently winters are too long and cold, and give time for many brains to stew. Tens of millions dead at the hands of the Bolsheviks, their Stalinist successors, and through Mao’s evil idiocy, never diminishes the ardour of these imbeciles.

Eva and Mae~mae, a lot of people take a long time to wake up. Better lat e than never.

Technically true but if he thinks that is what BDS protests and Islam are all about then he has bubbles in the think tank.

Yep.

………….
It is sad to see what has happened to the ADL–but good to see these Rabbis taking a stand!
