Oh if that were only true. It's been made apparent in the last 2 years in particular that fighting antisemitism from the perspective of the ADL and figures like Jordana Cutler (who previously worked for the Israeli Prime Minister's Office) simply means silencing critcism of Israel, even when that means siding with actual antisemites (up to and including neo_nazis and outright Nazis). Examples: - Ben Shapiro excuses antisemitic remarks by Ann Coulter because she's pro-Israel [1]; - ADL defends Elon Musk for making the Nazi salute (twice) on stage [2] - We brutalized people with the police for organizing peaceful protests to say "maybe we shouldn't bomb children" or to get their respective universities to divest their endowments from the state doing the bombing; - We went so far as trying to deport legal permanent residents for organizing said peaceful protests (ie Mahmoud Khalil); and - The IHRA definition of antisemitism includes criticisms of the state of Israel.

I was replying to the claims on big tech company policies. Jordana Cutler appears to be an internal advocate for reducing antisemitism on the Meta platform. They don't set policy. There are many similar roles for many different groups, it's how the company tries to hear more points of view before making policy changes. We can only judge big tech company policy based on its declaration or application. So far I see no supported criticisms of either, though I am open to them. | ||||||||
