"Back in April, bestselling #author #MegKeene came on #TheJewishAngle—with some reluctance—to talk about what she saw as a growing problem for #Jewish #writers in mainstream #publishing. She spoke about being quietly pressured from agents, #publishers and industry insiders to change Jewish characters’ names and hide #Israeli backgrounds or connections.
But rather than be excommunicated from the publishing world, her inbox filled up with messages from writers and publishers in the same situation. She’s since worked with the #AntiDefamationLeague and an offer from the publishers at #WickedSon to start her own imprint, #MegKeeneBooks.
Now #Keene is on a mission to #publish around four Jewish #fiction #books over the next year, from romance to thriller."

The ADL wants to cancel susan abulhawa

"The #American #PsychologicalAssociation delayed its vote on Friday to recognize the Association of #Jewish #Psychologists within its organization, marking the second time this year the organization has postponed the decision to recognize Jewish representation in the organization.
The #APA has six official ethnic associations, representing Arab Americans, Black psychologists and Asian-Americans, among other minority groups. Proponents of the proposed Jewish group within the APA argue that Jewish psychologists deserve to be included as well, especially given the rise of #antisemitism within the organization.
On Friday, the #AntiDefamationLeague and the American Jewish #MedicalAssociation condemned APA’s decision to postpone the vote again."

If you're wondering, this is how it's done.
They convened more than one representative/group for dialogue and the exhibition is moving forward because Galliano has done the work and the impacted were included.
"Before announcing #JohnGalliano as the subject of its starry #CostumeInstitute exhibition opening next spring, the #MetropolitanMuseumofArt met with influential #rabbis and #Jewish leaders to discuss the selection of a figure “as famous for his #antisemitic rant in 2011 as he is for his #fashion,” according to the New York Times.
As reported by the Times’s chief fashion critic #VanessaFriedman, the #Met convened several meetings between Jewish leaders and #AnnaWintour, #Vogue’s global editorial director and a Met trustee; #AndrewBolton, curator in charge of the Met’s Costume Institute; and #Galliano himself. Among the Jewish leaders were #JonathanGreenblatt, chief executive of the #AntiDefamationLeague, and rabbis from significant #synagogues in New York."

"Two leading #Jewish #civilrights groups stepped up after Jewish #teachers reported #antisemitic harassment last year at the #NationalEducationAssociation’s annual convention, only to devolve into disagreement ahead of this year’s convention.
The unusual public dispute between the #JewishCouncilofPublicAffairs and the #AntiDefamationLeague brought to the fore a simmering tension over how to fight #antisemitism within #schools and #unions. Should Jewish groups promote collaboration with the institutions on solutions — or prioritize confronting them over their failings?"

"Hundreds of people affiliated with the #whitesupremacist group #PatriotFront marched in #WashingtonDC, on Saturday, in a #July4 show of force by the group founded by a veteran of a landmark 2017 far-right rally that featured an #antisemitic chant.
The marchers in #Washington wore masks and some carried #Confederate flags, according to reports and video from the scene. At times, they chanted “Reclaim #America!” — a rallying cry channeling the group’s nativist agenda.
While Patriot Front’s public activities mostly center on its anti-#immigrant and anti-#LGBTQ agenda, the #AntiDefamationLeague has repeatedly cited the group, founded in 2017, as the largest purveyor of antisemitic materials in the #UnitedStates.
One of the group’s signature slogans, which members displayed on a banner in Washington in 2023, is “No #Zionists in Government.”

'When the Anti-Defamation League...magnifies offensive graffiti and unflattering tweets to the status of violence, while ignoring actual discrimination, if it exists, they trivialise antisemitism. When they condemn criticism of Israel and Zionism as antisemitic, they risk elevating antisemitism to a virtue. And when those who define antisemitism bend over backwards to allow interpretation of antizionist expression as antisemitic, they contribute to enabling such dilutions'

No ADL, Anti-Police Symbols Aren't Hate Speech
So, even if you ignore everything the ADL explicitly says about Israel or Zionism, it's still not a reliable source on hate speech.
Did you know that nestled among the 14 words, the swastika, and the burning cross, the ADL lists ACAB as a hate symbol?
And here's the justification given for the classification:The acronym ACAB stands for "All Cops Are Bastards" and is a slogan of long standing in the skinhead subculture. Because non-racist skinheads (including "traditional" skinheads and anti-racist skinheads) may use this acronym as well as racist skinheads, it should be carefully judged in the context in which it appears.
Now, here's the problem with this justification: something doesn't become a hate symbol merely due to an association or even use by racists or other types of hate groups. If a nazi draws a smiley face that doesn't, in and of itself, make smiley faces 'hate symbols'. If a nazi hates corporate CEO's, that doesn't make CEO bashing hate speech. Similarly, a racist using 'ACAB' doesn't make that abbreviation hate speech.
What makes a symbol hate speech is if the group it is directed at is oppressed by the group using it. This is why words like 'cracker' aren't hate speech--because white people aren't oppressed by black people. Similarly, cops are an oppressor group in our society, which means a word like ACAB simply is not and cannot be hate speech and in fact the insinuation that it can be is in and of itself intensely racist given how cops uphold racism in our society.
There's a lot more I could say about the ADL's classification of this symbol, but I lack the time to elaborate, so I hope this makes clear how deeply insidious this inclusion is.
