Some day some Israeli lib will do a tearful land acknowledgement at the grand opening of a seaside waterpark owned by his family, on what was once the beaches of Gaza.
Why don't the Dems start engaging with all Republicans as if they are children? Why is Nancy Pelosi talking about wanting a strong Republican party, rather than just outright calling some of these people stupid and trying to marginalized their influence in any way possible?
Just think about how much Jonathan Greenblatt, current head of the ADL, has single handedly helped skyrocket antisemitism in the US.
He chose to lump all anti-Israel and anti-Zionism rhetoric together with genuine, oft-violent antisemitic hate crimes in the ADL's data, thereby devaluing the genuine useful tracking of hate crimes--making any real antisemitic hate crime easier to write off.
He made a deal with Elon that did not censor antisemitism on Twitter but did censor anti-Israel accounts and auto-community note anti-Israel messages, leading to a surge of hatred toward Jews and Holocaust denial on Twitter. Many outright Nazi accounts have built their followings unchecked by riding the wave of anti-Israel sentiment, which does not matter to Greenblatt nearly as much as ensuring that pro-Palestinian accounts are deboosted
He declines to use his platform to defend against the surging Groyper right, because they don't upset him as much as the Jewish Americans protesting in support of Palestine. Instead, he openly blasts American Jews as terrorist sympathizers.
Jonathan Greenblatt will be the reason that the ADL's power completely collapses one day soon. He will be the reason American Jews subject to antisemitic attacks in the future get taken less seriously.
