Anti-Defamation League

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, is a New York-based international advocacy organization founded in 1913 with the stated purpose of combating antisemitism, as well as other forms of bigotry and discrimination. The ADL is also known for its pro-Israel advocacy, and, since the 1970s, it has promoted the concept of a new antisemitism, describing criticism of Israel or opposition to Zionism as antisemitic.
