In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified anti-war protest events led by Jewish groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as “anti-Israel”, adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US.
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled the Jewish organizations “hate groups” and equated anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
This led to criticism of ADL, including from its own staff, one of whom quit in protest, stating: “Those were Jewish people who we [as the ADL] were defaming, so that felt extremely, extremely confusing, and frustrating to me. And it makes it harder to talk about that when any criticism of Israel, or anyone who criticizes Israel, just becomes a terrorist.”

It’s more or less the same business model as the NRA – manufactured outrage.
