The endless capitulation and pretzeled logic of Jonathan Greenblatt — who was initially strong in calling this obviously heinous trolling — is exhausting to watch.

ADL: these college kids setting up tents on lawns to protest a genocide are antisemites

ADL: so about the richest man in the world sieg heiling — yea the one who endorsed the AfD in Germany — that was just an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, every one calm down & give each other grace

Too much trying to make everyone happy.

I am not a Trump supporter or fan of Musk, my father was a Holocaust survivor, grandfather killed in a firing line, great grandfather killed in the home, Aunts sent to death camps. I don’t think Musk’s intent was to do a Nazi salute. I found his face more alarming. Today was a horror show. So sad.

There's a high probability that he was so high (😑) he did it subconsciously, like a Freudian slip

I get it. We don’t know what it was but I think he was just trolling people

I agree. I think he is currently feeding off the craziness and “Maga Energy.” I don’t think it is serving him well. I believe one day hr is going to wake up with a terrible hangover, Meanwhile I am rewatching Succession. It is more enjoyable knowing how it ends. ADL should have stayed out of it.

He posted this today. Now his trolling is entering the cruel stage. I hope people will tire of him. It is shame this is what he directs his energy towards.

The jig is up with this guy and everything he represents, which btw isn't good faith efforts to protect Jewish or vulnerable groups. Instead, he villainizes them when perceived as ideological foes--those against genocide and the right wing Israeli Zionist project.

Breaks my heart as lifelong advocate against anti-semitism and hate, as well as former regional board member under Abe. At least you knew where Abe stood on everything, better or worse. His comment today was welcome.

Lost in the mess is all the great work ADL does in schools and community.

So hypocritical

Claudine Gay should still be president of Harvard.

Punching down, not up

I'm guessing he's a donor.

A-fucking-men

I'm guessing they are capitulating to their wealthy donors who support Trump.

The ADL has been trash for so long. They replaced one bigot (foxman) with the most ignorant unqualified executive director ever (Greenblatt).

He thinks criticism of Israel is antisemitic, but didn’t know Henry Ford was an antisemite.

ADL is a mouthpiece for Israel and Israel is on the side of the oligarchs.

He should resign if that's really his belief...

Let's just get it out there: it's perfectly reasonable to despise the Hamas October 7th attack while also demanding that Israel treat Palestinians in Gaza with humanity. Some in Israel-- and in Israeli leadership-- want Gazans wiped out. Israel is heading towards Apartheid.
