During a recent interview with Rabbi David Wolpe at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, Jonathan Greenblatt, far-left Zionist activist and CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said that he is working “behind the scenes” to “take down” what he described as anti-Israel and antisemitic voices on the right, including American journalists and commentators Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens, and right-wing activist Nick Fuentes.
"I need people on the right to take down Tucker Carlson—so I’m trying to help [Senator] Ted Cruz,” and “I need people on the right to take down Nick Fuentes—so I’m trying to help people like [pro-Israel Jewish activist] Ben Shapiro,” Greenblatt said.
The ADL CEO called these individuals “disgusting,” “toxic,” and “revolting lunatics,” citing their rhetoric as harmful and dangerous. He labeled Fuentes as an “open, unapologetic racist, homophobe, and more than anything, an anti-Semite,” and criticized President Donald Trump for hosting Fuentes at Mar-a-Lago in 2022 along with Hip Hop mogul and businessman Ye.
Greenblatt called Fuentes a "Hispanic person" with a "good Jewish name," Joseph.
"Republican senator/presidential candidate working with the anti-white ADL to suppress speech," Carlson said referencing Cruz. "You can see why people begin to wonder about the system we currently have."
Greenblatt also targeted far-left video content creator Hasan Piker, calling him “a revolting person” and suggesting he be nicknamed “Hamas Piker” due to his criticism of Israel, saying he spreads “horrible slanderous things about Jews, about Zionists, about Israel.” He noted Piker’s influence among younger audiences via platforms like Twitch, Steam, YouTube, and Instagram.
The Zionist CEO praised figures like Senator Cruz, Shapiro, pro-Israel zealot Mark Levin, and U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson for pushing back against what he calls extremist narratives.
The ADL also revealed it is collaborating with the FBI, training law enforcement, partnering with evangelical churches, and working with tech giants like OpenAI and Meta to train AI systems and combat hate online.
Greenblatt revealed the ADL has "40 analysts working full-time, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day," monitoring extremists and sharing intelligence with the FBI. He emphasized the ADL’s efforts to pressure social media platforms to enforce their terms of service, saying, “We definitely are working a lot to try to get the platforms to kind of enforce their own terms of service so that we can pull down the most offensive hate speech.”
The ADL CEO highlighted the company's training of 20,000 officers yearly and an AI-powered legal network with 50 law firms. He disclosed that the ADL is working with "OpenAI, Alphabet (Google), Anthropic, Meta, Microsoft, and even Alibaba," to train large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and Gemini. The ADL is also investing in Wikipedia.
All anti-Semitism complaints are scanned by "AI systems" to identify potential litigation opportunities, which are then forwarded to a network of "50,000 lawyers," Greenblatt revealed.
The ADL is also apparently partnering with the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference to develop "Sunday school curriculum" for Hispanic evangelical churches, an attempt, critics say, to spread pro-Israel propaganda in Hispanic Christian communities.
Since the Jewish state's genocidal war in Gaza, there has been an increase in anti-Israel sentiment among traditionally pro-Israel White Evangelical Christians and conservatives in America.
According to Greenblatt, the ADL has abandoned the term "anti-Semitism" in favor of "Jew hatred" after research showed the public misinterpreted "end Jew hatred" as meaning "Jews are the ones hating."
Clips of the event went viral, Friday, prompting Sinai Temple to remove the video from YouTube. Critics argue the ADL’s actions reflect a "backdoor" strategy to silence dissent and criticisms of Israel, especially from right-wing figures, while simultaneously positioning itself as a neutral antisemitism watchdog.
