American U. pro-Palestinian faculty group demands school cuts ties with Anti-Defamation League
The American University Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine recently demanded the school sever its ties with the pro-Jewish/Israel Anti-Defamation League over its alleged failure “to challenge rising right-wing antisemitism.”
The faculty group, which claims to “stand against all forms of colonialism, racism, and apartheid” and alleges “students and faculty who are part of the Palestine solidarity movement are increasingly subject to surveillance, criminalization, and punishment,” criticized AU for “bragging” about the ADL giving it an “A” rating, The Eagle reports.
The AU FSJP claims the ADL “is not an ally in combating antisemitism” due to its “partnership grounded in racism” with Donald Trump and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.
The leaders allegedly “celebrate both countries’ exclusionary walls and white supremacist Trump supporters [who] cite Israel as an example of the legitimacy of ethnonationalism.”
The ADL also “promotes right-wing extremism and threatens the rights of Black, immigrant, queer, Muslim, Arab, anti-Zionist Jewish and other marginalized communities,” the AU FSJP contends.
The group cites a Guardian article which claims the ADL took down pages of “extremism research” after Elon Musk “led a rightwing backlash.
Included in the deletions was a section on “slain far right activist” Charlie Kirk’s group Turning Point USA, and another on “Christian Identity.” The ADL noted many of the entries were “outdated” and/or being “intentionally misrepresented and misused.”
AU FSJP additionally chides the ADL for running “cover” for Musk’s “Heil Hitler” gesture in early 2025, which the ADL had said was “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute.” Snopes noted the Hitler accusations “were based on appearances alone and ignored the context of Musk’s words.”
