My latest in PJ Media:
We’re all woke now, and so just a few days before the twentieth anniversary of the 9/11 jihad attacks in which 2,977 people were murdered, Anti-Defamation League top dog Jonathan Greenblatt thought it was the perfect time to pen a piece for CNN announcing that he was sorry, so very sorry, that the ADL had opposed the Ground Zero Mosque, four years before he joined the ADL at all. This is a bit like President Eisenhower apologizing for the New Deal, but okay. Apparently Greenblatt thought it was necessary for the ADL to shore up its Leftist bona fides, and with the Left becoming increasingly open about its anti-Semitism, it’s easy to see why Greenblatt was feeling the heat.
Greenblatt wrote that “when we opposed the location of the then-proposed Park51 Islamic Community Center & Mosque near Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan… I believe the stance we took is one for which we owe the Muslim community an apology.” He claims he was moved to do this because of Biden’s handlers’ disaster in Afghanistan: “For me personally, and ADL as a whole, this catastrophe made our Teshuvah [self-examination and repentance] all the more urgent.”
Then come the flights of fancy: “Today one can see how the Cordoba House,” the organizers’ name for the Ground Zero Mosque project, “could have helped to heal our country as we nursed the wounds from the horror of 9/11.” He claims that “when Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Daisy Khan envisioned the creation of Cordoba House, they intended to foster better relations between the Islamic world and America, and to serve as a public rejection of extremism.” He adds that “Daisy Kahn once explained how the goal of Cordoba House was to ‘repair the breach and be at the front and center to start the healing.’”
How does Greenblatt know that she was on the level? How does he know that the Ground Zero Mosque would have been a source of healing? He doesn’t, but as a doctrinaire Leftist, he knows that to think otherwise would constitute “Islamophobia,” which he duly decries: “Sadly, rather than heal, we have seen Islamophobia persist in ugly ways.” He knows that the Ground Zero Mosque organizers said that the sixteen-story mega-mosque they planned at Ground Zero would be a mosque of reconciliation, and they wouldn’t lie, would they?
There is more. Read the rest here.

Frappin’ guy doesn’t even know that his enemies are out to kill him, his kin, his brethren, along with the rest of us. Muslims expressly tell us that is what they intend to do, following express instructions in their holy book.

So true.
Robert McKenna says
This guy has to be as brain dead as is possible and still walk around !
He want’s to apologize to a bunch of murderous heathens for not letting them use the site of their own crimes to thumb their nose at the United States !
Forget about being Jewish, he should be deported for just being unpatriotic !
Their lie about “healing” and “coming together” is as transparent and as old as “The Checks In The Mail” !

The reality is: Western m people are so secularized that they can’t imagine any people or group taking any religion seriously, including their own if they still attend synagogue or church;

Sounds like Greenblatt is experiencing a lowering of testosterone levels in his bloodstream.

To His Everlasting Shame, ADL Chief Apologizes for the Organization’s Opposition to Ground Zero Mosque
……………
Absurd dhimmitude from Jonathan Greenblatt. The ADL was right the first time.
But this is not the first time that Greenblatt has promulgated ludicrous bowing to Islam. This, from 2016:
“Jonathan Greenblatt: ‘This proud Jew would register as a Muslim’ in database
This article is more than 4 years old”
Anti-Defamation League head vows to sign up to registry Trump promised while campaigning, legally obligating Muslim Americans to be tracked
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/18/jonathan-greenblatt-muslim-registry-database-trump
He seemed to have no concern about Jihad terror at all.

I don’t know if people like this Greenblatt-guy are just really, really dense, traitors, or have some other ulterior motive that remains a secret to most of us. It could be that he has no clue about Islam, I can’t deny that, but if that’s the case, then how can he make it to the top of an organisation like that, which is suppose to protect the Jewish people????

Why Cordoba?
Could it be that the Cordoba caliphate in Spain was an era of intellectual brilliance but also Muslim ilitary success against Christians? We read:
“Al-Manṣūr’s rule (978–1002) marked a period of brilliant military successes abroad and increasing unrest at home. With his mercenary army he won a series of spectacular victories against the Christians, capturing Zamora (981), Barcelona (985), and Coimbra (987). In 997 he razed Santiago de Compostela and returned with the bells of the city’s cathedral to serve as braziers in the mosque of Córdoba. “
Hmmm……

I have lovely Muslim friends, B.S. you do read Quran 5:51.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of low-information Jews out there who support ADL.
robert rawson says
so we can bomb the kaaba and build a church there?
Alfredo says
This woke cretin in his abject submission to dhimmihood is an illustration of the demoralized decay the very people charged with the original mandate of the once fierce ADL. No more, under Rosenblatt, this ONG has sunk too a new low.
Now we’re treated to the disgraceful spectacle of watching this disgusting descent into servilism.
Now, the aggressors have been transformed into innocent victims.
Walter Sieruk says
He has no logical and reason based need to apologize. What a senseless apology to make,
Shame on him.
Infidel says
Rarely can now come here and explain to us how the ADL has the genuine interests of the Jewish community at heart
medaber_emet says
I really liked the analogy that now we can bomb the Kaaba and build a chirch there
i Would take that a furthere step beyond
just like the god damn kordova house in ground Zero
we can bomb El aksa musque and rebuild our jewish tample on it
and it should be perfectly fine
Rooster says
So typical of stupid people to embrace their murderers. Every mosque in the US harbors and supports Muslim terrorists. Islam is our number one enemy in America! No Muslim should be allowed to live here and practice their sharia. Unfortunately, it is way past time to purge Islam from America. Most all our Presidents have empowered Islam to eventually overcome our Republic and Law of the Land. I for one will not yield to Islam or government tyranny! Death to Islam in America!
Walter Sieruk says
Back in the year of 2010 and during the month of August I attended a lecture at a church, about the subject of Islam. One of the speakers was a former Muslim, a Hezbollah member and an Iranian citizen. Now he’s a Christian and an American citizen.
After the lecture and during the question and answer part, he was asked about the Ground Zero Mosque which is that construction of that specific mosque at that specific place.
The speaker answered that the G.Z.M. would have a symbolic meaning with a message in the Islamic world, in the G.Z.M. will be in the Muslim world as a “victory monument” of Islam and Islam’s jihad over the West.
In other words the message to all jihad-minded Muslims is “Look what we have done for the cause of Islam, we have killed and have been victorious.”
Michael Miller says
I will not donate to the ADL if they do not change their position.
