"“We are an apolitical, non-partisan organization, but you have to be deaf, dumb and blind not to see what’s happening on the left,” #Greenblatt said Friday, according to audio from the event obtained by the #Forward.

“There is a throughline from Occupy Wall Street to BLM to ‘defund the police’ to ‘River to the Sea,’” he added, referring to the Black Lives Matter movement launched a decade ago to protest police violence. “They are the same people, these are the same kind of nihilists.”"

    “You have people hiding their faces behind scarves and keffiyehs like they’re in ISIS, storming libraries, vandalizing buildings and literally – I’m not exaggerating – terrorizing their classmates,” he said.

    Wait… is he talking about the protesters or ICE here? Because it really sounds more like ICE to me.

      Well he’s certainly not taking about the IDF. That involves 1000x more terrorism and actual mass-murder, instead of the general “vibe” of terrorism, felt by some genocidal fascist mouthpiece.

    Genuine question, is it antisemitic for ADL to suggest that opposing genocide is antisemitic? It kinda feels like ADL, IDF, and other political figures want to treat warmongering as an inherently Jewish trait or a Jewish right or something.

    It honestly feels like they’re painting Jews with this image. Kind of like how Republicans have painted a picture of America that is antithetical to American values as laid out in the constitution. But they will still claim that you hate America if you oppose them in any way.
