Joe Berman, the former chair of the Anti-Defamation League's National Legal Affairs Committee, has publicly released his resignation letter, sharply criticizing the organization's response to antisemitism during the Trump administration. Berman accused the group of providing cover for harmful political agendas by not confronting right-wing antisemitism more forcefully. He argued that the fight against antisemitism is being manipulated to support policies that threaten democracy and warned of negative consequences for Jewish Americans. The Anti-Defamation League responded by emphasizing the need to focus on rising antisemitism, as outlined by its chief executive in a recent opinion piece.
