    People seem to forget that the ADL is not a Jewish advocacy group, they are an Israeli lobby group. Israel is a far-right government that is actively engaged in genocide.

    If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn’t apologise for making a nazi salute.

    He wasn’t doing a Nazi salute. He’s literally trolling you all and you’re all falling for it.

    Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.

    A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.

      IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.

      Forgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
      Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.

    Never forget that the ADL spied on American citizens for Apartheid South Africa on behalf of Israel during the Reagan administration.

      on behalf of Israel

      Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?

      I’m not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.

      ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.

      ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”

          Nah, you just gotta ask them what a fair treatment for a Palestinian would be. Probably not anywhere near what would be fair treatment for an Israeli. Or most other folks.

              Yeah, Israel like other places that commit crimes against humanity aren’t into respecting their victims after death, just like they didn’t do it while they were alive.
