Did Obama's ADL Boss @JGreenblattADL, Assault a Female Pro-Israel Activist? frontpagemag.com/point/272447/d…

Jonathan Greenblatt, the Obama vet chosen to lead the ADL, has been an unmitigated disaster. He's jettisoned what little Jewish civil rights and pro-Israel commitments the old ADL had, while trying to chase intersectionality, turning the ADL into a dime store SPLC.

Greenblatt failed to win over the Left and very blatantly alienated the Right.

But these latest accusations from the Zionist Organization of America are truly shocking.

ZOA alleged that after a 2016 panel discussion on BDS at the UN, Greenblatt was so angry about criticism of his ADL that he physically accosted the ZOA’s Liz Berney.

She told JTA that Greenblatt “came up to my right side, put his arm around my back, grabbed me with his left hand on my left shoulder. He starts pushing me with the force of his arm down the hall. I was trying to get away from him, and he was restraining me.”

Berney said Greenblatt brought her to the Iraqi and Syrian missions and yelled that they—not ADL—were the real enemy. Greenblatt and the ADL unequivocally denied the allegation, though JTA spoke to six people to whom Berney related the story right after it happened.

JTA spoke to SIX people who said Berney described the event to them, on the day of the U.N. meeting or within two days of it. None actually witnessed it.

All but one recalled her describing Greenblatt gripping her while guiding her to the office; one recalled only that Berney described an altercation. Two of those interviewed, Klein and Susan B. Tuchman, are ZOA staffers.

The others spoke on condition of anonymity, saying they feared reprisals within the Jewish organizational world.

There will also be no consequences. Unless the ADL and Greenblatt are actually held accountable.
