Following Elon Musk's controversial gesture at a Trump rally, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) defended him, characterizing it as an awkward enthusiasm rather than a Nazi salute. This defense stands in stark contrast to previous comments by ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt, who likened the Palestinian keffiyeh to a Nazi symbol. Critics, including Jewish Voice for Peace's Beth Miller, argue that the ADL's actions indicate its greater focus on silencing Palestinian voices rather than addressing anti-Semitism, leading to concerns about the organization's credibility in its priorities.
Beth Miller highlights that the ADL's rapid defense of Musk starkly contrasts with its demonization of Palestinian advocates, suggesting a focus on silencing criticism rather than combating anti-Semitism.
The ADL’s actions show a prioritization of defending pro-Israel sentiments, leading voices critical of Israel to question the organization’s credibility in its anti-Semitism efforts.
