<p>With the rise and election of Trump, anti-Semitism is appearing in mainstream U.S. discourse in an unprecedented way. At the same time, false and grossly exaggerated accusations of anti-Semitism remain a potent political weapon in U.S. politics. Now, more than ever, we need organizations that can serve the public as principled, credible, unbiased investigators and referees of allegations of anti-Semitism in the U.S. <br>
<br>
The Anti-Defamation League would be ideally positioned to occupy this role, but unfortunately it currently suffers from a perceived conflict of interest. In addition to advocating against anti-Semitism, the ADL also advocates for settlements in the West Bank. The ADL's entanglement in the settlements issue diminishes the ADL's credibility on anti-Semitism in the eyes of many Americans. <b>If the ADL accuses an American who opposes the settlements of anti-Semitism, many Americans will wonder, rightly or wrongly, if the ADL's advocacy for settlements is coloring the ADL's judgment.</b> Thus, the ADL's settlements advocacy undermines its ability to combat anti-Semitism.<br>
<br>
<b>Urge the ADL to disentangle itself from advocacy for settlements to maintain its credibility on allegations of anti-Semitism by <a href="http://org.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=8tZOuWbx63qg7Zrct6vYMBUHAkugaedc" target="_blank">signing our petition at MoveOn</a>.</b> <br>
