33. You realize regulars here have bashed the ADL as a rightwing, anti- Muslim organization?

Why do you figure they'd do that? I'm curious.

IMO, the JihadWatch & Atlas Thugs crew is easily as disgusting, nasty and vile as Stormfront, Mondoweiss, and BDS posers. They can all go to hell, eat shit, die, and enjoy each other's company AFAIC. It's funny (well not so much) that they've set themselves up as Team Awesome fighting against Team Evil. Of course, JW and Atlas Thugs do the same thing but in reverse. What are your thoughts on this? Agree, or not so much?

As to Rubin being rightwing, I suppose we'll agree to disagree. You think Norm Geras is rightwing and he basically wrote the Euston Manifesto along with others like Terry Glavin. Maybe they're not your kind of liberals, but I can't say I see them as rightwingers either. Those they oppose on the Left, and the reason they wrote the Manifesto, are IMO the ones with very dangerous rightwing views (leftists who are megaphones for the extreme 3rd world right). I suppose I see Eustonites like Geras, Glavin, and David Hisch in the same way as Barry Rubin on Israel. Different styles but the same message.

All, from David Hirsh to Barry Rubin and the ADL, are hated by the Mondoweiss, BDS, and Stormfront crew for one simple reason. That reason is connected to why they could care less about Palestinian moderate (liberals) like Sari Nusseibeh and Ray Hanania.

I'd be very interested in your thoughts on all this.
