"The blowback escalated sharply on Wednesday after FBI Director Kash Patel announced that the bureau would sever ties with the ADL, accusing the prominent advocacy group of spying on Americans. Tech billionaire Elon Musk's post calling the ADL a hate group set off a firestorm of criticism online, forcing the group to scrap the Glossary of Extremism and Hate, which contained more than a thousand entries on groups and movements with connections to hateful ideologies."
"The ADL is one of the oldest and most influential Jewish advocacy groups in the United States. It was founded in 1913 by members of the B'nai B'rith Hebrew for Sons of the Covenant, a Jewish fraternal organisation to counter anti-Semitism and prejudice against Jews. The group, which calls itself a global leader in combating antisemitism, started with its original mission, to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all."
The Anti-Defamation League included an organisation founded by Charlie Kirk in an online extremism database, triggering sustained right-wing backlash. FBI Director Kash Patel announced the bureau would sever ties with the ADL, accusing the group of spying on Americans. Elon Musk called the ADL a hate group, intensifying criticism and prompting the ADL to remove the Glossary of Extremism and Hate, which had over a thousand entries. Conservatives remain critical despite the removal. The ADL was founded in 1913 by members of B'nai B'rith to counter anti-Semitism, grew into a national advocacy force, and trains law enforcement on bias-motivated violence.
