“The Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, is holding its annual summit in New York City this week. The ironically-named ‘summit on hate’ features far-right MAGA pastors and politicians, billionaire CEOs, and conservative journalists among its speakers. No longer putting on the pretense of opposing all forms of bigotry, the ADL has shown it’s perfectly comfortable with Trump-era racism. In the year since the last summit, the ADL has withdrawn its criticism of white supremacist groups, denounced antiracist education as ‘radical,’ continued to loudly back Israel’s genocide in Gaza, and cheered on Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportations of students and other noncitizens who have criticized Israel’s violence and stood in solidarity with the Palestinian people. In fact, the ADL endorsed the executive order issued by President Donald Trump in 2025 targeting critics of Israel and threatening those who aren’t US citizens with deportation for protesting in support of Palestinian human rights.” (03/16/26)
