Photo Credit: {Reposted from the Elder of Ziyon website} Laura Adkins writes on Twitter, The most wild thing about the @Sethrogen controversy, to me, is not that his remarks were stripped of context or that everyones jumping to make his words fit their own narratives (those are par for the course.)

Left-wing activist groups are promoting a campaign called Drop the ADL in a bid to get progressive institutions to cut ties with the 107-year-old Jewish advocacy organization. Even though the ADL is integrated into community work on a range of issues, it has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, perpetrators of state violence, the groups wrote in an open letter. More disturbing, it has often conducted those attacks under the banner of civil rights.
