IT’S SIMPLE, ADL: IT’S EITHER JUSTICE FOR ALL, OR ELSE IT’S NOT

Advocating severing ties with the Anti-Defamation League is emotional
rhetoric expressing anti-injustice and not anti-Semitism.
more stories like thisIn reading the article "Hard to forget: Debate
over ADL stance unleashes painful memories" (Globe NorthWest, Nov. 1),
I felt sorry that anyone is left with the latter impression.
Any organization that supports universal concepts but for political
reasons practices selectivity cannot help but be suspect and have
the intent of its programs questioned.
ADL appears to have a distinct bias that speaks against the very
program it is advocating. What I believe many Armenian groups and
Jewish groups are saying is that either one believes in justice for
all, or one doesn’t believe in justice for all.
To put on a universal hat and preach selectivity can be construed as
promoting injustice; at the least it is dishonest and misleading.
