    Apparently, the Anti-Defamation League had Charlie Kirk included in
    its rCLGlossary of Extremism and HaterCY <https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/10/2/fbi-cuts-ties-with-anti-defamation-league-amid-conservative-backlash>.
    So in revenge, TrumprCOs FBI guy has cut ties with them.

    The ADL does seem to be soft-pedalling some aspects of its definition
    of rCLantisemitismrCY, to try to suck up to the Trump crowd (their denial
    that Elon MuskrCOs Nazi salute was a Nazi salute being an obvious
    example). Now they have rCLremoved more than 1,000 entries about alleged extremism from its website amid right-wing outrage over references to
    the late activistrCY. Their now-removed entry on Kirk said he

    ... promoted rCLChristian nationalismrCY and rCLnumerous conspiracy
    theories about election fraud and Covid-19 and has demonised the
    transgender communityrCY.

    Furthermore,

    Kirk himself strongly criticised the ADL while he was alive, once
    describing it as a rCLhate group that dons a religious mask to
    justify stoking hatred of the leftrCOs enemiesrCY.

    Whaddaya know, one hate group hates the hate promulgated by the other
    hate group ...

    So, can you be pro-Israel and anti-ADL?
