by Ram ben Ze'ev The Unintended Consequences: How the ADL Amplifies Antisemitism The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has long positioned itself as a bastion against antisemitism. While its mission may appear noble on the surface, it is essential to scrutinize the organization's actions and consider whether it might inadvertently exacerbate the very problem it seeks to combat. In this article, I discuss how the ADL's approach to addressing antisemitism can, at times, make the situation worse...
