EXPOSED: ADL’S HISTORY OF GETTING SUED & NEVER ADMITTING WRONGDOING
Elon will likely file a lawsuit against the ADL “to clear our platform’s name on the matter of anti-Semitism.”
The ADL isn't a stranger to the courtroom, and their track record is concerning:
1. ADL v. Civil Rights Groups
In 1993, the ADL was sued by civil rights groups representing Arab Americans and African Americans for allegedly hiring agents to gather secret information on them.
They reached a settlement to pay $175,000 toward the plaintiffs’ legal fees and to establish a $25,000 community relations fund for programs to facilitate improved relations between and among Arab American, Jewish, African American, and other minority communities in the US.
RESULT: The ADL did not admit wrongdoing but agreed to a restraining injunction barring ADL from obtaining information from state employees, which is forbidden by law to disclose.
2. William Quigley and Anne Quigley v. Rosenthal
This was their last true loss. In 2000 when a judge in Colorado fined the ADL $10.5 million in a defamation suit.
William and Anne Quigley were accused of anti-Semitic behavior by their neighbors, Mitchell and Candice Aronson.
The Aronsons recorded the Quigleys' conversations without their consent and gave the recordings to the ADL, which then publicly accused the Quigleys of hate crimes. In response, the Quigleys sued the ADL and its regional director, Saul Rosenthal, for defamation. In 2000, a Denver jury ruled in favor of the Quigleys, finding that the ADL had defamed them.
The ADL appealed the verdict, but the appeals court upheld the ruling.
RESULT: The ADL eventually paid the $10.5 million fine plus interest in 2004 but never admitted any wrongdoing. This was a major setback for the ADL.
MY THOUGHTS:
As you can see in both examples above, the ADL DID NOT ADMIT WRONGDOING, despite paying hefty sums of money and having to face penalties such as a restraining injunction.
How can the ADL never admit guilt?
Also, should other social media platforms join @ElonMusk’s lawsuit?
Remember that Zuckerberg was HEAVILY pressured by the ADL in 2021, also losing substantial amounts of money before caving!
