    I’m not Jewish, but not the least bit suprised academia makes another brilliant decision and cuts ties with ADL. Here’s a hint, when you get the full throated endorsement of CAIR, you may want to rethink that decision


    Why it matters: The member-backed measure calls for the union to no longer use ADL material on antisemitism and Holocaust education, nor will it promote other ADL statistics or programs

    Good for them, ADL leadership has made it clear they aren't pretending to be a civil rights org any more, just an advocate for a foreign government and its policies, which in this case are ethnic cleansing, unilateral military action and violence. No reason for anyone to tie themselves to a foreign government in the USA. 'America First' right?

    Unsurprising. I know a Jewish woman who has taught for almost 30 years. She is vociferously anti-Trump, much of which comes from parroting her mother.

    Anything Trump does to support Israel, she is against. Should the Islamists gain control over the Western world the fool hardy Left will be the first to be executed. #LGBTQ+\~4palestine

    Probably what ADL should strive to be. But the ADL is what CAIR would be if they were just an Iranian government lobbying group.

    Is there some kind of either/or … what’s CAIR’s role in it?

    True. I'd also suggest looking at other trade union's stances on Gaza. CWA, SEIU, UAW, etc all have called for ending military aid to Israel.

    Gay Palestinians ??? Ha. your statement displays your ignorance. Have you been to Tel Aviv? Jerusalem ? I have. Tel Aviv is basically San Fran. Both have open culture for gay and lesbian… Cross over into the the West Bank with your rainbow flag and you don’t come back.

    Your link literally says "gay palestinian" lol. What point are you trying to make? People like you hate San Francisco and are afraid of a rainbow flag in schools. You didnt even want a ship named after Harvey Milk. So I have to wonder if this is a criticism of Israel? You clearly are deflecting from something or not making an honest argument of any kind.

    Old school Anti-Semitism: "The American Jew" can't be trusted because they have dual loyalties.

    New school Anti-Semitism: "The American Jew" can't be trusted because they aren't dual loyal enough.

    I love the Jews but I'm also very critical of Israel's policies. Does that make me an antisemite?
