“More than a decade ago, a video (Mondoweiss, 8/7/14) showed Jodi Rudoren, then The New York Times’[s] Jerusalem bureau chief, having a casual and friendly meeting with Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation League. The cozy relationship in the video was telling enough, but when the video captured Foxman complaining that ‘the Arabs’ had taken over a famous New York City hotel, and Rudoren shrugging it off, many skeptics viewed this as a window into the Times’[s] pro-Israel bias. The recently deceased Foxman (Jewish Telegraphic Agency, 5/12/26), famous for promoting the pro-Israel viewpoint and insinuating that critics of Israel were antisemitic, wasn’t Rudoren’s source in this video; they were pals. Emmaia Gelman’s new book, The Anti-Defamation League and the Racial State, is a history of the group, framing it not as a racial justice organization but as a deputy sheriff for the US empire.” [editor’s note: Is ADL just as messed up as SPLC?
