It’s wrong for the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to have failed to condemn as blatant anti-Semitism Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA)’s “termites” label for Jews living in Judea/Samaria. It’s also wrong for the ADL to have accepted Johnson’s phony apology “tweet.” Congressman Johnson merely tweeted: “Poor choice of words – apologies for offense. Point is settlement activity continues slowly undermine 2-state solution.”
The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) is not alone in feeling this way.
Prominent Las Angeles Rabbi David Wolpe wrote: “That is not an apology. ‘I am sorry I said something stupid and anti-Semitic’—that would have been a fitting apology. These are not trivial issues. . . . To call Jews ‘termites’ is base and vile.” (Rabbi Wolpe: There Is No Excuse for Anti-Semitic Smears, Time Magazine, July 26, 2016)
Commentary editor John Podhoretz tweeted about ADL’s inadequate tweet: “How about using the term “anti-Semitic,” you cowards?...

Under the ' leadership' of Jonathan Greenblatt, it seems like the ADHell has become even more anti-Israel/ Pro Leftist/ Pro Islam than even under the previous ' leader' Abe Foxman. The differences between ADHell and J-Street are now minuscule, relatively speaking.
