‘The Top Ten Anti-Israel Groups…

Jun212020

Ten years ago, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) produced a document titled “The Top Ten Anti-Israel Groups in America.” Despite the passage of a decade, online research indicates all 10 are still functioning organizations. Note: The links in the document to find additional information about the groups are no longer operative. However, all the groups have websites that can be accessed.

Quote: “Israel’s detractors use a plethora of weapons to assault Israel’s legitimacy, including drawing parallels between Israel and Nazi Germany and alleging that Israel is akin to apartheid South Africa and that its policies toward the Palestinians are motivated by racism. They hold Israel to a different standard than other countries, condemning it for implementing policies to protect its citizens… from the constant threat of Palestinian terrorism.”

“[T]he foundations for extremism usually are held in check by various restraints. Societies are not liberal, moderate, progressive, and free because almost all their citizens – let alone their politicians — are liberal, moderate, progressive or committed to the freedoms of others.

“But societies consistently avoid extremism when the infrastructures of freedom are strong: when key institutions and norms encourage a more decent, rights-respective, lawful politics; when powerful social movements and independent media hold leaders to account, expose rather than reinforce political fantasies, and champion the rights of the vulnerable; and when information is produced and scrutinized by scholars, civil servants, and non-governmental organizations devoid of either government repression or vested interests.

“Yet no infrastructure is rigidly immovable, and once key components are eroded and weakened, once sections of the political and cultural elite attempt to mobilize the foundations of extremism, the system of restraints can swiftly collapse.

“While genocide on the scale of the Holocaust is historically exceptional, its central lesson is that the broader danger of extreme atrocities is not. In the words of the great historian Ian Kershaw, the Holocaust ‘lit a warning beacon that still burns brightly: it showed how a modern, advanced, cultured society can so rapidly sink into barbarity… It showed what we are capable of.’ Only by rejecting false narratives of conflict and polarization, and maintaining systems of rights and freedoms for all, can we hope to prevent that capability from once more becoming a reality.”
