Chomsky on the ADL (Anti-Defamation Leauge)

An excerpt from Noam Chomsky's 1989 book Necessary Illusions.

"The ADL has virtually abandoned its earlier role as a civil rights organization, becoming 'one of the main pillars' of Israeli propaganda in the U.S.… These efforts, buttressed by insinuations of anti-Semitism or direct accusations, are intended to deflect or undermine opposition to Israeli policies, including Israel's refusal, with U.S. support, to move towards a general political settlement."


More to come on this issue.

  1. The Anti-Defamation League was established in 1913 which is the same year the Federal Reserve was established. I don't think its unreasonable to take the position that one of the main purposes of the Anti-Defamation League is to mount smear campaigns against those who openly oppose the Federal Reserve in the press -- to associate the idea of nonsupport of the Fed with antisemitism.
