ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA NEWS RELEASE Tema Smith: ADL’s Newly Appointed Director of Jewish Outreach Sympathizes with Jew-Hating Terrorists, Black Antisemitism, and CRT Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein and ZOA Director of Research and Special Projects Liz Berney, Esq. released the following statement: For years, a Jewish woman named Tema Smith has been waging her own little war against Israel, Jews, the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) and ZOA President Mort Klein, on social media, and in articles in far-left wing media such as the Forward. But Ms. Smith escaped our attention up until last week, when The Anti-Defamation League (ADL)’s Jonathan Greenblatt announced that Tema Smith would be the ADL’s new “Director of Jewish Outreach.” Alarmed friends emailed us that Tema Smith was a dangerous, terrible and frightening choice to direct ADL’s “Jewish outreach,” because, among other things, Smith sympathizes with Israel-haters, Jew-hating terrorists, Critical Race Theory, condemns and blocks numerous Zionist Jews on social media, and obsessively levels false racism charges at Jews. This week, esteemed Shillman Journalism fellow Daniel Greenfield’s exposé, entitled “ADL Hires Director for Jewish Outreach Who Hates Jews,” documented Smith’s racism accusations against fellow Jews and Smith’s heinous, antisemitic, anti-Israel calumnies, such as “Jews Have to be ok with Palestinians Explaining Why Some Turn to Terrorism”; and “Hamas — And The Palestinians as a Whole — Have Desperately Real And Legitimate Grievances Against Israel” (published after Hamas murdered three Jewish boys); and that Jews need to “Repent for Gaza’s Dead”; and “There are no Good Guys in the Gaza-Israel Fight,” and Smith’s agreement with the heinous charge that the Jewish Press was “maximizing outrage and minimizing understanding,” after a French court failed to convict the vicious Muslim murderer of French Jewish kindergarten teacher Sarah Halimi. Senior Journalist David Harsanyi also just wrote about Smith’s horrendous stances, in an article entitled, The ADL Has Chosen a Side. And It’s Not the Jewish One.” Harsanyi gave context to her frightening quote that Smith tweeted: “Jews have to be ok with Palestinians, explaining why some turn to terrorism,” in the course of Smith’s disgraceful support of Biden appointee Reema Dodin’s defense of the Palestinian Arab terrorist who bombed the Sbarro pizza shop, murdering 15 innocent Jews, including seven children and a pregnant Jewish American woman. Harsanyi also noted Smith’s tweet accusing the Jewish community of “implicit racism” for reacting to antisemitism coming from Black people. We have now also independently investigated Tema Smith’s statements. Painfully, her record is indeed horrific.
