In recently seeing an Anti-Defamation League billboard touting
'RESPECT' that engages the Boston Celtics and the NBA, it exemplifies a
hypocrisy that makes my blood boil, not at all unlike any anti-Semitic
Holocaust denial would affect Jewish people's sensibilities. While
part of the ADL's work is admirable there is one particular aspect
less so. There was and still is a still festering controversy its
National Director, Abraham Foxman, created and continues in contesting
official United States recognition for the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
The ADL's position that aids the Turkish government's vehement denial
of the 1915 Armenian Massacres/Genocide is hypocritical and shameful
when it purports to advocate for the human rights of all and might
warrant greater moral ethics on the part of the ADL.
There is a deceptive practice in cloaking oneself with the
accomplishments of others when incorporating professional sports
or any organizations that proves the reach and power of the ADL to
embolden its image and clout. If this is what is seen, there may be
other schemes of influence at work to the disadvantage of some.
The ADL has evidently changed in its lifetime and while respecting
the original objectives, enlarging its sphere of action can be a
threatening factor for some that may grow further still.
When the ADL supports Turkey's efforts to defeat congressional
resolutions to recognize the 1915 Armenian Genocide inversely it
could promote it. I believe that if the Armenian Genocide Resolution
benefited the favor of the ADL it could pass through Congress though
unlikely to happen.
