In the 1980s, at a time when Israel maintained close ties with South Africa, the ADL went on the attack against Nelson Mandela’s African National Congress. As Sasha Polakow-Suransky reported in his recent book The Unspoken Alliance: Israel’s Secret Relationship with Apartheid South Africa, ADL National Director Nathan Perlmutter co-authored an article implying that the ANC was “totalitarian, anti-humane, anti-democratic, anti-Israel and anti-American.” The ADL sent spies into the American anti-apartheid movement, as well as other movements critical of right-wing American foreign policy. Eventually, the organization was surveilling much of the American left. In 1993, a California police raid on the offices of the ADL and one of its investigators yielded files on Greenpeace, the NAACP, Act Up, New Jewish Agenda, the Center for Investigative Reporting, and several Democratic politicians, among hundreds of others. The ADL eventually settled a class-action lawsuit brought by several of its targets.

ReplyDelete<p><span>The ADL’s infamous history goes back way beyond Israel’s love affair with apartheid South Africa and now that it has a top-ten list of antisemitic organizations, it should be told that it was itself on the US Government watch list after WW II because of its affiliation and intelligence ties with the Bolsheviks. It helped a known Soviet spy enter the US in 1955 and provided cover for him through its contacts in the government. In the 60s, the ADL was heavily involved in the dirty tricks department along withy the FBI against civil rights workers. When the 80s rolled around, it was up to its neck into the Iran-Contra affair and was instrumental in the wheeling and dealing with Oliver North. The ADL had ties to Meir Kahane’s outlawed Jewish Defense League that was into dirty tricks such as killing activists, causing riots and other nice things. The ADL was up to its neck in the Iran-Contra affair and it had subversive agents all over Central America. There’s a link between the ADL and the killing of Indira Gandhi.</span>

ReplyDeleteAnd they still do..They fund various groups that operate legally and illegally under other names since JDL was banned a decade ago..
ADL's Foxman again in the news yesterday saying the US should make sure the Palestinians don't declare their statehood. He calls it a "pipe dream" for Palesti8nians to aspire for a state without making concessions.
