Here’s one from out of left field (well, out of right field to be more exact)…but one that seems to have enough credibility for us to think about.
Daniel Greenfield, a usually-worthwhile source who writes for Daniel Horowitz’s frontpagemag.com, has just published a commentary that suggests this is a real possibility. And there is enough meat in that commentary to make me pause and wonder.
Here is how it begins:
The ADL is a garbage leftist organization. It was never good for anything but under its current head, Jonathan Greenblatt, it’s become a generic woke group dedicated to intersectionality. I have spent over a decade exposing the ADL for what it is including, last week, for its decision to spend the anniversary of the Crown Heights Pogrom together with Al Sharpton in Washington D.C.
Last year, Musk met with a coalition of leftist groups, Color of Change (formerly founded by Van Jones) , the NAACP and the ADL and a number of others that were organizing boycotts of Twitter over ‘hate speech’.
A total of 40 organizations including the ADL, GLAAD, the NAAC,P Muslim Advocates, National Hispanic Media Coalition, United Church of Christ and many others urged advertisers to boycott Twitter.
Musk blamed these groups for “a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists.”
Recently Musk rebooted these claims, but instead of addressing all of these groups which are still pressuring Twitter advertisers to drop their ads, he decided to blame only the ADL.
And while the ADL is a reprehensible group, there are currently 60 organizations in the #StopToxicTwitter coalition representing a range of leftist groups. Musk apparently decided it was easier to target the ADL.
And he didn’t just target the ADL, he began promoting a campaign by Keith Woods: an antisemitic Irish vlogger with a long ugly history of attacking Jews.
Greenfield goes on to show some of the overtly anti-Semitic material pumped out by woods. And there is a lot more in addition, which I hope you’ll use the above link and read.
Does this mean that Elon Musk has a negative attitude/predisposition to Jews?
Maybe not. But maybe so as well. The possibility is real enough for me to try and monitor Musk’s actions as time goes on. You should too.
