ADL: What does this even mean?

Genocide in Gaza

ADL “ADL works to protect democracy and ensure a just and inclusive society for all.”
Or not. Is it the Anti-Defamation League, or is perhaps ADL short for Activities of daily living.

These are the tasks of everyday life. Basic ADLs include eating, dressing, getting into or out of a bed or chair, taking a bath or shower, and using the toilet. Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are activities related to independent living and include preparing meals, managing money, shopping, doing housework, and using a telephone. Also called activities of daily living.

Who the heck is the A D L?

“The Anti-Defamation League CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, sparked controversy in 2022 when he placed opposition to Israel on a par with white supremacy as a source of antisemitism.

“Anti-Zionism is antisemitism,” Greenblatt said in a speech to ADL leaders. He singled out Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace as groups that “epitomize the Radical Left, the photo inverse of the Extreme Right that ADL long has tracked”.

His remarks didn’t only upset grassroots activists and Jewish groups critical of Israeli policy. It also set off a firestorm within the Jewish advocacy group.”

ADL Chief Harshly Rebukes Netanyahu’s
‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Rhetoric on Palestinians

Jonathan Greenblatt says the term the prime minister used was inappropriate to describe the Palestinian demand to remove settlers from the West Bank.  The head of the Anti-Defamation League harshly criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s claim that Palestinians supported the

“ethnic cleansing” of Jews in the West Bank, saying the term was inappropriate to describe the removal of settlers and that his argument was unreasonable.

ADL Activities of daily living :

 “On Oct. 13, the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence reportedly issued a proposal to move the entire population of the Gaza Strip to the Egyptian-ruled Sinai Peninsula (Mr. Netanyahu’s office said it was a “concept paper”). Extreme right-wing elements in the government — also represented in the I.D.F. — celebrate the war as an opportunity to be rid of Palestinians altogether. This month, a videotape emerged on social media of Capt. Amichai Friedman, a rabbi in the Nahal Brigade, saying to a group of soldiers that it was now clear that “this land is ours, the whole land, including Gaza, including Lebanon.” The troops cheered enthusiastically; the military said that his conduct “does not align” with its values and directives.”

Death toll in Israel surges above 1,200, while Gaza officials report 900  people killed


“And so, while we cannot say that the military is explicitly targeting Palestinian civilians, functionally and rhetorically we may be watching an ethnic cleansing operation that could quickly devolve into genocide, as has happened more than once in the past.”

If not now… then when?


“Moderates” who condone genocidal attacks on captive Palestinian people in a virtual prison are part of the problem.

“Moderately thinking” it is OK to fund crimes perpetrated by an antisemitic lunatic in Israel are a huge part of the problems we face today.

“In our application, South Africa has recognized the ongoing Nakba of the Palestinian people through Israel’s colonization since 1948,” Vusimuzi Madonsela, the South African Ambassador to the Netherlands, said, introducing the case in court.

 “The application places Israel’s genocidal acts and omissions within the broader context of Israel’s seventy-five-year apartheid, fifty-six-year occupation, and sixteen-year siege imposed on the Gaza Strip.” The word “apartheid,” wielded by South Africa, a country that ended its own apartheid regime just three decades ago, was an assertion of authority: South Africans know apartheid when they see it.”

Gaza: 10,000 children killed in nearly 100 days of war – Middle East Monitor

“The Israeli military is killing an average of 250 Palestinians per day in Gaza, a higher daily death rate than any other twenty-first-century armed conflict. In 100 days, Israeli attacks killed one out of every 100 Palestinians in Gaza and injured—often with life-altering wounds—at least two Palestinians in every 100. As we write, thousands of Palestinians remain buried under rubble, whether dead or alive, some enduring this situation for days or even weeks. Hundreds of bodies are in a state of decay, deprived of the right to a dignified burial, as Israel continues to deny medical and rescue teams access to areas where its troops and soldiers are deployed.”

“Israel’s international crimes against the Palestinian people must cease immediately and permanently. To this end, the international community must not only hold Israel and the Israeli authorities accountable, but address the root causes by dismantling Israel’s settler-colonial and apartheid regime, and ensuring that all discriminatory and inhumane laws, policies and practices against the Palestinian people are abolished once and for all. The international community must also urge Israel, the Occupying Power, to immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the occupied Palestinian territory, lift the closure and blockade of Gaza, and enable the Palestinian people to fully exercise their inalienable right to self-determination, including their right to return”

Gaza: World Court Orders Israel to Prevent Genocide

The International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands, August 27, 2018.

“The ICJ held hearings on January 11 and 12 to consider South Africa’s request for provisional measures, which featured the first formal response by Israel before an independent and impartial court to allegations of atrocities against the Palestinian people since October 7, 2023. On December 29, 2023, South Africa had filed a case with the court alleging that Israel is violating the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

“The World Court’s landmark decision puts Israel and its allies on notice that immediate action is needed to prevent genocide and further atrocities against Palestinians in Gaza,” said Balkees Jarrah, associate international justice director at Human Rights Watch. “Lives hang in the balance, and governments need to urgently use their leverage to ensure that the order is enforced. The scale and gravity of civilian suffering in Gaza driven by Israeli war crimes demands nothing less.”

Killing children to placate angry illegal Israeli “settlers” is obscene, perverse and insane…
