The perceptive article below by Daniel Greenfield of the David Horowitz Freedom Center demonstrates how the Anti-Defamation League has been confusing activity with achievement and raking in plenty of money doing so.
For the past 11 years the ADL has had the misfortune of having the vastly overpaid Johnathan Greenblatt as its CEO. Of course, he is one of Obama's former devoted choir boys and as such he has deliberately tilted the ADL much farther to the left than when Abe Foxman was in charge.
Somehow, towards the end of Foxman's stewardship he became afflicted with some form of Jewish advocacy dementia. Nothing else can explain why he became so fixated on Islamophobia or why he thought Greenblatt would make a suitable successor.
Mark Twain once remarked that if you give a man a reputation for being an early riser he can sleep until noon. This is what has happened to the ADL. Due to its early effective advocacy people still think the ADL can be taken seriously as a Jewish civil rights organization. It does just enough to make it look as if that is the case, but it's deceptive. Greenblatt understands that you can't keep the balloon rising without the usual infusion of hot air.
