ZOA Criticizes ADL For Filing Brief Supporting Race-Based College Admissions Harming Jewish and Asian Applicants 
 
ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt Also Wrongly Blamed Trump for Recent Killings at Massage Parlors in Atlanta
Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following:

ADL’s “Never is Now” event has hypocritically been trying to portray ADL as championing combating bigotry against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPI) – at the same time when ADL has been harming both Asian and Jewish college applicants by working to eliminate merit-based college admissions.

At its “Never is Now” event, ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt is also promoting ADL’s left wing political agenda by wrongly blaming former President Trump’s use of terms such as “Wuhan flu” for the murderous rampage last spring (during Biden’s term in office) in which a sexual deviant murdered Asians, whites and a Hispanic at massage parlors in Atlanta. To further add to this absurdity, despite the numerous excellent AAPI groups that ADL could have chosen from, ADL’s “Never is Now” event is featuring the head of an AAPI organization that honored Jew-hater Linda Sarsour.

ADL Is Supporting College Admissions Policies That Harm Jews and Asians:

ADL submitted an amicus brief supporting Harvard’s discrimination against Asian admission applicants in the Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard case (1st Cir., May 21, 2020). ADL’s promotion of Harvard’s “race-conscious” admissions policies hurts both Jews and Asians, and destroys the fundamental American ethos that individual merit and hard work should be rewarded.
Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
