1. Conflación de antisemitismo y antisionismo.
Muchos usuarios critican a la ADL por equiparar las críticas a Israel con antisemitismo, lo que, según ellos, diluye el significado real del antisemitismo y silencia las voces críticas.
- I forget who said it, but someone once said that the goal of organizations like the adl is not to just conflate antisemitism with criticism of israel, but to make criticism of israel the *only* form of recognized antisemitism. That observation is frankly hard to refute at this point.
- Adl is waging ideological warfare in the name of jews. Nearly **60%** of incidents in adl's new "antisemitism" report relate to israel / zionism. Translation: criticism of israel / zionism is spiking were adl concerned abt antisemitism, it would protest trump and stop smearing antizionist jews.
- The adl’s “fight” against antisemitism looks a lot like labeling any israel critic an antisemite, backing laws that stifle free speech, ignoring real bigotry from allies, and twisting hate crime stats. Hard pass on taking them seriously.
2. Pérdida de credibilidad y apoyo a la derecha.
Algunos usuarios argumentan que la ADL ha perdido credibilidad al alinearse con figuras y grupos de derecha, incluso aquellos con antecedentes de antisemitismo, con el fin de promover la agenda de Israel.
- The adl is just a netanyahu group at this point. Really nothing to do with antisemitism at all.
- The adl's primary mission isn't combating antisemitism. Never has been. They align with antisemitic folk all the time if they can advance the adl's reactionary politics.
- The adl is creating more antisemitism in america and it's painful they're going to keep on. They're putting jews in danger. They're aligning with far right nazis.
3. Ineficacia en la lucha contra el antisemitismo real.
Varios usuarios expresan la opinión de que la ADL se ha vuelto ineficaz en la lucha contra el antisemitismo genuino, ya que se centra más en silenciar las críticas a Israel que en abordar el odio real hacia los judíos.
- Yeah, the adl at this point has to be considered an active and aggressive promoter and enabler of antisemitism.
- The adl's commitment to licking netanyahu's boot makes jews everywhere less safe. Why would anyone take actual instances of antisemitism seriously when the (ostensible) civil rights organization that claims to represent us does nothing but spout propaganda for war and genocide?
- The adl is actively engages in antisemitism by conflating zionism with judaism and presenting all jews as a monolith that supports the us-backed terror organization that calls itself the "state of israel." the adl makes jews less safe by distracting from actual instances of antisemitism.
4. Necesidad de una nueva organización.
Ante la percepción de que la ADL ha fallado en su misión, algunos usuarios abogan por la creación de una nueva organización que se centre en la lucha contra el antisemitismo de manera imparcial y efectiva.
- This is going to torch that creditability of the adl… we need a group that calls out antisemitism without fear or favor, anything less puts *all* jewish americans and jewish folks of all nations at risk. Antisemitism can’t become a political football, the threat is too grave.
- Antisemitism is very real (& has only gotten worse after israel's genocidal campaign in gaza). There needs to be a credible version of the adl, but one that doesn't equate anti-zionism (or even just criticism of israel) w/antisemitism.
- The american jewish community does not have an org we can rely on to accurately track, educate on, and combat antisemitism at the moment. The adl has sacrificed us for zionism. And declaring even “free palestine” as antisemitic has muddied the convo so much the damage is awful.
