The ADL has said and done some shitty things in the past, notably demonstrating against the construction of the "ground zero mosque," arguing that there are no settlements in the Palestinian territories, and tried to arm-twist senators into not recognizing the Armenian Genocide. This last part was the most criticized, although their reasoning was that some Turkish nationalists threatened to commit anti-Semitic pogroms if the USA recognized their historical atrocities. Which if anything, kind of proves that these are the exact kinds of people who'd want to commit a genocide. It's also not a good look for a civil rights organization to cave to the demands of bigots.MGuy wrote:I'm not familiar with the organization but I understand it to be a pro Israel group. I've no doubt that it's probably problematic when it comes to the israel/Palestine issue. That doesn't matter where PDP comes in. Nazis not only herald PDP as a 'hero' but when he was talking about doing it there were Nazis telling him not to in his chat and coming up with conspiracy theories about the Jews 'Getting' to him. Then, just in case there was any confusion, when he went to explain why he cancelled it he wore a jacket that had a cross on it that was clearly Nazi signaling. The way he wore it even made sure it was easy to see. PDP's pulling away from the charity, and likely the whole stunt, was clearly Nazi signaling.
PDP is a Nazi. He's got a clear pattern of behavior including promoting other Nazi supporters. He is not Nazi adjacent, just an anti sjw, or anything like that. He's in league with Nazis.
I do not know if the ADL has made restitution for these past actions. Been a while since I read up on them.
But that's not what most PDP fans had in mind; they hate the ADL for being left-leaning and supposedly pro-pornography and sex work, which is a common Neo-Nazi allegation against Jewish groups "corrupting the minds of youth."
