In reply to the discussion: Teachers' union NEA members endorse cutting ties with ADL [View all]Beastly Boy
(13,071 posts)This is not recognition that "ADL may not be unbiased". This is dismissal of ADL as an institution, and all the work it does to combat antisemitism.
It is a statement of wholesale rejection of the value of their work. Wh4ther or not the NEA was within their right has nothing to do with the statement they voted in favor of. Yeah, it is within their right to be racist and attack institutions that fight racism.
Just as it is within my right to call them out on their antisemitism.
This is picking and choosing which historical and academic resources antisemites wish to dismiss, and that is in itself a manifestation of bias.
And how does a vote to cancel an American non-governmental institution constitute criticism of Israel? FTR, expressing antisemitic sentiments in criticizing Israeli government (which is not what NEA did) is still antisemitic.
On edit: If not ADL, which "unbiased" institutions will conduct and publish research like this?

No wonder bigots want to shut ADL up.
