Time for all those wonderful, principled American Jews, to sue the ADL for defamation, slander, libel, and unauthorized appropriation! Make the ADL have to admit publicily, with every statement, that they do not speak for all Jews.

Of course it would require great effort, energy and money. Perhaps organizations would join, or a class action law suit.

I am sure there are those who would volunteer their services, and surely we could get crowd-funding to assist with the legal fees.

Does this sound like something worth doing? How can we help make this happen?

And same for UK and Australia, Canada, etc.

If you are Jewish, you could join Jewish Voice for Peace and maybe try floating the idea with them.

I know that they say that, but what is the point of it being called Jewish Voice for Peace, if it is to be flooded with gentiles? That's like whites being allowed into the Black Panthers (which they were at first, but then later excluded for reasons).

Thank you for the suggestion. If I were Jewish, I'd be asking for support for the suit I had already brought. Therein lies the rub, as Shakespeare put it. But if the idea is good, there will be someone who will take it up. I have passed the idea on to several organizations. I think it is a new idea, and will take some time to percolate, so to speak. All help is appreciated if you want to help spread the idea.
