Jonathan
Greenblatt, the head of ADL accused Wikipedia - of what else? -
"antisemitic" bias, the tired old Zionist scarecrow to scare away any dissident
opinion against Israel, the now-officially recognized "Genodical"
colonial monster in Palestine.
“In
a moment when we need to be educating millions of people on how
dangerous anti-Jewish hate is, we are being silenced and our research is
being marginalized,” Greenblatt said. “Just let that sink in.” Perhaps the world no longer needs to be educated by a bunch of racist Zionist agents. Greenblatt should let sink in his dense skull the obvious fact of Jewish barbarity
on display in Palestine, barbarity that he spent his lifetime trying to hide under the guise of fighting racism. Is there anything more racist than
Zionism, the project of ethnically cleansing the Palestinian people out
of their ancestral homeland by sheer terrorism (Haganah, Stern Gang,
Lehi group, etc.) in order to create the Bronze Age fantasy of Israel
and invite a widely diverse population united only by religion to settle
the raped ravaged Palestine and its demolished villages and cities?
The decision by the reputed Wikipedia last week to add ADL to its list of banned or partially banned sources, puts it in the same company as Russian state media and the National Inquirer. ADL is now officially a rag spewing falsehoods in service of an ideology and not the truth. This means that ADL should not be cited in articles on the Israel-Palestinian conflict “due to significant evidence that the ADL acts as a pro-Israeli advocacy group and has repeatedly published false and misleading statements as fact,” says Wikipedia on its site. ADL’s unreliability extends “to the intersection of the topics of antisemitism and the Israel/Palestine conflict,” the statement said.
Wikipedia’s review of ADL’s reliability began in April and involved more than 120 volunteers who participated in discussions about the organization’s coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, antisemitism and its hate symbols database, said Maggie Dennis, a vice president at The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that operates the online encyclopedia but does not determine what content is included on the site.
The online encyclopedia is
volunteer-run and non-profit, and goes to extremes to be transparent and
unrelenting in verifying and vetting citations and attributions behind the information it
publishes. Any reader can see the discussions and
debates. The crowd-sourced encyclopedia has over 60 million
entries and is often the internet's most accessible and reliable record
of people, places and events. In 2023, the
English-language version of Wikipedia had about 92 billion views. The
fact of Wikipedia's universal reach is what is terrifying Zionist
mouthpieces like ADL that have generally relied on biased sources to
propagate lies, misinformation and anti-Palestinian and anti-Arab bias.
Wikipedia editors have concluded that "ADL is heavily biased in favor of Israel and inaccurately labels legitimate criticism of Israel as antisemitism". One editor said, “The ADL no longer appears to adhere to a serious, mainstream and intellectually cogent definition of antisemitism, but has instead given into the shameless politicization of the very subject that it was originally esteemed for being reliable on."
Another editor said the ADL often acts as a “pro-Israel lobbying organization,” which “can and does compromise its ability to accurately report facts regarding people and organizations that disagree with it on this issue.”
As an example of virulent Zionist pro-Israel bias, the Zionist leader of ADL Jonathan Greenblatt has often said that
anti-Israel protesters on college campuses are "Iranian proxies.” This Zionist con artist Greenblatt has
also said that the Palestinian keffiyeh head scarf is equal to the Nazi
swastika. He later tried to walk back from his statement by making
convoluted and unintelligible comments, such as “I’m certainly far from
perfect, but it is
stunning that someone would take comments that were intentionally
misrepresented and use that to slander and undermine an entire
organization and to suggest that the body of our work is somehow no
longer made of integrity.” I let the reader decide what that means.
The
Wikipedia decision is problematic for ADL because it raises questions
about the organization’s credibility, said James Loeffler, a professor
of modern Jewish history at Johns Hopkins University. Loeffler tries to
split hairs by arguing that there is a difference between ADL's
research team and ADL's leadership, just as when westerners try to
separate a political wing of a terrorist organization (Hamas, Hezbollah)
from its military wing.
Loeffler said. “The problem [with ADL] is that there’s one message
coming from the
leadership and one coming from the research team. The leadership
statements are much less disciplined and raise questions about exactly
how rigorous their measurement is and their standards for defining
antisemitic acts.” Loeffler is obviously being kind in the language that he uses.
