The Hill Discovers 'Anti-Discrimination' Only Applies to Israel
The article, penned by Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), rails against Mamdani for allegedly 'abandoning anti-discrimination' by supporting resolutions that call for equal rights for Palestinians. Greenblatt's profound concern for 'anti-discrimination' appears to vanish when the discriminated are Palestinian, a group often targeted by policies supported by organizations like
the ADL. While the ADL purports a broad mandate, critics note its long history of unflinching support for Israeli government actions, irrespective of human rights concerns. This isn't an isolated incident. Organizations like the ADL, and politicians who echo their talking points, consistently advocate for protections for one group while simultaneously campaigning for the suppression of criticism
and rights claims from another. It raises the question: is it 'anti-discrimination' or just 'discrimination we approve of'? One might wonder if the concern for 'anti-discrimination' is genuinely universal, or if it's merely a political tool to silence voices critical of certain foreign policy agendas. (Or perhaps, just perhaps, they're only against discrimination when it's politically convenient.)
