from Wikipedia:

In November 2023, the Anti-Defamation League classified protest events led by groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow as "anti-Israel", adding the protests to a database documenting rising antisemitism in the US. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt labelled both organizations as "hate groups". This led to criticism of the ADL, including from its own staff, one of whom quit in protest, stating: "Those were Jewish people who we [as the ADL] were defaming, so that felt extremely, extremely confusing, and frustrating to me. And it makes it harder to talk about that when any criticism of Israel, or anyone who criticizes Israel, just becomes a terrorist."

Greenblatt significantly damaged his credibility by trying to defend Elon Musk's salute and later apologized for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elon_Musk_salute_controversy

The Anti-Defamation League said it was not a Nazi salute, but other Jewish organizations disagreed and condemned the salute.

ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt later expressed regret that he had not "framed" the tweet differently given "the impact that it had".
