    I wonder what the ADL would think if people started openly doing Nazi salutes now around Jewish communities.

    The Jewish people will never again be taken seriously as crusaders against genocide and fascism.

    The ADL represents the Jewish people in the same way that Focus on the Family represents the Christian people.

      I still live in this Jewish community I grew up in. ADL or not the majority of these people are fanatical about supporting Israel, so if supporting an open neo-Nazi is expedient to their cause they will not think twice about it. They don’t care if they burn down the US in the process so long as they get what they want.

          Just to be clear, I don’t hate my neighbors. They were my friends and mentors growing up. I’m just really disappointed with the community considering the values I was instilled by the Jewish community as an adolescent, these are not the values I was taught by my Jewish teachers. There doesn’t seem to be a healthy way forward at the moment, people are gripped by hysteria.
