Just a bit from the end of a long but great article!
While ADL is the immediate target of such delegitimization, the ultimate target of these campaigns is Jewry as a whole.
To campaign against the very legitimacy of ADL is to campaign against Jews.

(3,051 posts)Apparently the young lady who recently won the primary in NYC against our #4 man has a thing against "greedy Jewish landlords" in the neighborhood that are improving properties, "jacking up rent", and renting to wealthier tenants.
There's a lot of old baggage with the new crop of Democratic leaders.

(16,422 posts)They really do get it from all sides.
However, I personally don't see sarsour and Mallory as liberals. I think sarsour is a fake liberal who has learned how to leverage liberal ideas (like egalitarianism which she clearly doesn't agree with) to promote her agenda and mallory is just lost, what with her support of that racist antisemite farrakan.

(3,051 posts)The new, young, face of the Democratic Party, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
She merely:
1. Supports the antisemitic BDS movement;
2. Called Israel's defense of its borders against armed terrorists a "massacre" hopes that her "peers have the moral courage to call it such."
3. Complains that the gentrification of her neighborhood is the work of "greedy Jewish landlords".
Surely we can do better than this.

I am literally the last Democrat standing at the shul.
Most Jewish people are not one-issue voters, and can handle some disagreement regarding Israel, even if not logical because there are so many other concerns in this world.
But crap like "greedy Jewish landlords" will not be tolerated if the facts come out.

Though she does support the odious and bigoted, BDS.

(3,051 posts)The guy seemed to be right in the middle of things.
More to the point, her tweeted lies about Israel's defense against literal invaders bent on murder and rape are beyond the pale.
I'd like a little more due diligence about her before being embraced; we've been burned too badly before.
One or two more prominent antisemites will result in a mass exodus of Jewish people from the party.
