ADL partnering with Hamas-CAIR to denounce Bolton’s new chief of staff

Like the SPLC, the ADL did good work once upon a time, fifty years ago. But like the SPLC, its mission has morphed. Instead of protecting the Jewish people, they have aligned with the jihad force and have used their considerable influence and resources to go after proud Jews and Zionists (including me), while giving vicious Muslim antisemites sanction and cover. Despicable. Look at the two press releases here. They’re completely interchangeable. The ADL one could have come from Hamas-CAIR, and vice versa. The idea of a Jewish group sounding exactly like a group that was founded in order to further the goals of Hamas, and that has numerous links to Hamas, is despicable. Greenblatt, if there were any proud Jews left in the ADL. should be made to resign in disgrace. But he won’t be.

“ADL Concerned by Selection of Fred Fleitz as New National Security Council Chief of Staff,” Anti-Defamation League press release, May 30, 2018:

New York, NY, May 30, 2018 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today strongly criticized the selection of Fred Fleitz to be the National Security Council’s chief of staff. Fleitz has served as the senior vice president for policy and programs at the Center for Security Policy (CSP), an extreme, hawkish think tank that promotes the false conspiracy theory America is under threat from “Islamization” and that the implementation of Islamic law is imminent.

CSP is spearheaded by Frank Gaffney, who over the years has promulgated a number of anti-Muslim conspiracy theories, including the falsehood that the U.S. government has been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood and that a number of mainstream American political figures have shadowy ties to the group.

“It’s deeply disturbing and concerning that the National Security Adviser would choose someone from CSP for his chief of staff,” said ADL CEO and National Director Jonathan A. Greenblatt. “Fleitz’s senior leadership role with the Center for Security Policy, an Islamophobic, conspiracy-promoting organization, should automatically disqualify him from a position that deals with America’s most essential foreign policy and national security interests.”…

“CAIR Calls for Removal of Anti-Muslim Hate Group Leader from White House National Security Council Staff,” Hamas-CAIR press release, May 30, 2018:

WASHINGTON, May 30, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the Trump administration to drop a former leader of a designated anti-Muslim hate group from its National Security Council (NSC) staff.

Fred Fleitz was named the NSC’s executive secretary and chief of staff by White House National Security Adviser John Bolton.

Fleitz, up until his NSC appointment, was sr. vice president of the Center for Security Policy (CSP). The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has identified CSP as a hate group that is “a conspiracy-oriented mouthpiece for the growing anti-Muslim movement in the United States.” Fleitz has in the past expressed “concern” about “enclaves of Muslim communities in Michigan and Minnesota.”

CAIR’s Islamophobia Monitor website states that CSP head Frank Gaffney is “a key propagandist and conspiracy theorist for the Islamophobia movement.”

“An individual who held a leadership position in a notorious hate group should not be placed in a policy-making post in the White House,” said CAIR Government Affairs Director Robert McCaw. “We urge the Trump administration to drop Mr. Fleitz and to remove all other staffers who espouse bigoted views or back discriminatory and unconstitutional policies.”

McCaw noted that CAIR condemned Bolton’s appointment as national security adviser, calling him “a notorious Islamophobe who as a history of ties to anti-Muslim extremists and organizations.”…
