Leaked ADL Audio Shows Coming Govt Censorship Campaign Against Pro-Palestinian Groups, “Extremists”
Last month another, different, donor call was leaked from the ADL, which a Jewish outlet described as part of the internal struggle within the organization, noting that it was a “special meeting to pacify internal critics signifies that the organization’s vocal opposition to the anti-Zionist left is controversial even within an organization that has long been committed to Israel advocacy.”
The ADL has embraced far-left politicians for many years and unfairly harassed the political right, and that decision has been hurting the organization due to the left’s splintering of support for Israel and Jewish policy since the October terror attacks by Hamas in Israel. The New York Times recently referred to this split in an op-ed headline as “The Great Rupture.”
The ADL has long taken a hard-left political stance, even though polls consistently show most of Israel’s political support in America comes from the political right. Polls show Jewish antipathy towards Christian denominations, even though Christian groups reliably rate Jews positively.
In the leaked presentation, Greenblatt equates Anti-Zionism to Anti-Semitism, meaning that any criticism of Israel’s policies towards the Palestinians are enabling terror attacks. Most surprisingly, Greenblatt mentions the plan to bring in even more government censorship online. In his speech, Greenblatt mentions the CDA 230 immunity from liability that tech companies enjoy, limiting online companies from liability for content posted on their sites posted by others. Meaning that, currently Facebook can’t be sued for libel if someone posts libelous content on their platform.
The audio of Greenblatt says he is going to work to change online platform’s civil immunity, so that social media companies are liable for statements made online by their members, virtually ensuring a further social media clampdown on free speech.
Greenblatt said: “I know many of you probably feel the New York Times is the problem. Your kids and grandkids aren’t reading the New York Times, they’re reading their Instagram feed, they’re looking at TikTok videos, and so we have to fight the New York Times battle, but we also go to where the frontline really is. So we got a lot of computer scientists, software engineers at ADL working on these problems. It’s not going to happen easily. I ultimately came to the conclusion that we need government to come in and regulate. Basically if you publish something in the Miami Herald that’s libelous, you could be sued. If you post on Facebook? Nothing. There’s a loophole in the law which exempt the companies from liability. Change that rule, and we can change outcomes. So we’re really working on it.”
Greenblatt brags about close ADL working relationships with major big tech companies, including: Amazon, Apple, Meta, X, TikTok, Zoom, Snap, Google. Big Tech has been notoriously censor-happy for many years. Only in recent years has the connection between Big Tech censorship and the government’s mandates and directives to push that censorship, become known. That Military-Industrial Censorship Complex is on review with the Supreme Court as part of the Missouri v. Biden litigation where the Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft is the lead Plaintiff.
Greenblatt denounced “Extremist groups” on the political right and left without defining the terms further.
Greenblatt also explained a program developed with law firms, Gibson Dunn, Morgan Lewis, and Latham Watkins and 300 associated attorneys, to bring Title VI lawsuits against universities if the Jewish students attending those colleges felt threatened.The argument being that creating a hostile environment for Jewish college students is a form of discrimination, and therefore a violation of their federal civil rights. Greenblatt made clear that the goal is to use financial pressure through this lawfare to force the universities to police anti-Zionist criticism and speech.
