Guys, it's not a nazi salute - those literal nazis were just "giving their hearts". Come on, stop being blinded by your ideology.
For those of you struggling, no I do not actually believe this.
The ADL exists to normalize fascism and "Israeli" colonialism. That's it. It's a subversive fascist lobbying group masquerading as some kind of pro-equality, anti-racist civil society nonprofit group. Absolutely disgusting organization.
Musk responded “Thanks guys” with a laugh-crying emoji.
When you know you've lost the plot.
Apartheid Defense League living up to its reputation.
This article is highly relevant to the situation.
Most of the story is behind a paywall.

TY!
The ADL considers anti-zionism to be antisemitic.
I literally don't give a shit what the ADL thinks.
This is the most clear possible destruction of their credibility. It's the thing you point to when you say they're full of shit.
Still poignant to point out how absolutely stupid and hypocritical this entire group is with their bullshit of literally defending a actual Nazi giving the Nazi salute in broadcast tv.
Agreed. It seems they only exist to squelch any criticism of Israel.
The ADL has been questionable for a long time, but this definitively kills the last bit of credibility they ever had. From this point on, anything they say should be ignored.
Oh, and Justice for Pepe, you downright pieces of shit
The ADL is anti-Semitic, they need to be investigated.
One of the common anti-Semitic tropes is equating Jews with the state of Israel, something the ADL routinely does.
The ADL has been supporting Nazis forever.
Could you provide some examples please? This is the first time I'm aware that they have intentionally looked away.
Nazis in this case means genocidal states, aka Israel.
Zionists in particular. Ethnostates are fascist in principle.
Ethnostates are fascist in principle.
I wouldn't go that far, but they are at high risk of being antidemocratic and oppressive. If your idea of a nation is a club for hating an out-group, with an army, that's going to lead to trouble.
He just had heartburn, you guys. He was reacting to all that burning and in exasperation, was gesticulating wildly and accidentally did it! Er, twice.
