In a statement to the JTA, the ADL said the Wikipedia decision was part of a “campaign to delegitimize the ADL.”

How amusing, as if there were some shadowy cabal masterminding a coordinated attempt to bring down their memetic organization.

The only ‘campaign to delegitimize the ADL’ is its own kamikaze mission to mindlessly recategorize all opposition to a crappy régime as antisemitism while leaving actual victims of white supremacy in the dust. I predict that the ADL is either going to fall into obscurity or outright vanish after the last apartheid régime collapses.

This is the wikipedia that ran an article for years about "The Uighur Genocide". They still have one up that has less credible evidence than the werewolf but they eventually had to rename it out of shame.

I don’t see how that is a problem

That they eventually had to take a massive climbdown and take down an article based on some American propaganda bullshit?

An encyclopaedia that trades on its reputation should have articles with better credibility than mythical creatures or events.

Be careful posting too many sources, redditors tend to turn into the guy from Scanners if they engage with reality too much.

Holy shit. I have read the whole damn thing…. And I walk away with far less respect for the ADL, and the news media (somehow); more respect for wikipedia; that I recognize editors of wikipedia here; and that the ADL considers me anti-Semitic because I disagree with what Israel is doing.

Wikipedia still has a big zionist bias; the ADL is too extreme for even them

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Don't be too hard on entity's that have zionist bias' as Zionism and propaganda surrounding Israel has been ever-present since at LEAST the 1950's in America, and similar in Europe.

the adl is not a civil rights group; they are a criminal, fascist, and zionist entity. by lumping all anti-israel and anti-zionism rhetoric with genuine antisemitic hate crimes, they devalue the tracking of the latter. their deal with with the open nazi sympathizer elon musk led to a surge of hatred towards jews and holocaust denial on twitter, while they prioritize deboosting pro-palestinian and anti-genocide accounts. they openly blast american jews who are opposed to them as supposed terrorist sympathizers. adl, like all things zionist, is a cancer that must be eradicated.

Well yeah, that's because the ADL is unreliable
