    People seem to forget that the ADL is not a Jewish advocacy group, they are an Israeli lobby group. Israel is a far-right government that is actively engaged in genocide.

      Also remember it’s in Israel’s best interest to conflate Jews with zionists and make people worldwide hate Jews so they make Aaliyah to Israel and create babies for the IDF. Also the goal of the “birthright” program (what a fascist name right?!)

    If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn’t apologise for making a nazi salute.

    If Elon walked out wearing a red arm band with a swastika, the ADL would be talking about its history as a Hindu symbol.

      “Mr. Musk has provided us with another delicate moment, demonstrating the ancient Roman salute combined with a Hindu symbol. It appears that the talk about the AI-operated gas chambers was a bit of an awkward slip, and it’s best we do not further aggravate the division of our nation.”

    Never forget that the ADL spied on American citizens for Apartheid South Africa on behalf of Israel during the Reagan administration.

      on behalf of Israel

      Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?

      I’m not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.

        This was a literal investigated criminal case, this isn’t supposition.

        Your serious doubts is nothing more than ignorance.

        EDIT: Another thing that is not supposition. Israel was one of the final supporters of Apartheid South Africa. They supported them even after the US stopped.

        Pick up a history book.

        And Yes, Israel has just spent the last 15 months committing what every human rights organization has declared a genocide. Can’t get more nazi’ish then committing a genocide.

        The ADL is atrocious. I’m Jewish. This was a variation of a Nazi salute.

        Also, Zionist and Nazi propaganda have quite the overlap about “chosen people” and “master race”. It never sat well with me as a kid which is why I became antizionist around age 10 or so.

    Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.

    A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.

      IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.

    Reminder that Zionists like to collaborate with antisemites, in the hopes of accelerating emigration to Israel.

      Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good “solution” to the “Jewish question” before he came up with the final solution.

      Anti-Defamation League. Basically a zionist organization that goes after anything they percieve as being anti-semitic. Their definition of anti-semitic typically seems to include vocally supporting Palestine & not supporting Israel.

      Part of what makes this noteworthy is they call anti-semitism often in dubious cases where it is not present - so them defending Elon sieg heiling multiple times is unusual, but also likely a calculated move to not distance their organization from president musk’s administration.

      They’re an organization that calls out antisemitism.

      Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.

      It’s Zionist propaganda and intimidation.

        They spied for a foreign government. They should have been required to register as foreign agents and the only reason they didn’t was because the foreign government was Israel. Instead they just had to notify the US citizens they spied upon that they spied upon them, and what they discovered.

    Maybe he had no1 near he could’ve given a hug. Or nobody near wanted to hug a Nazi. So this ‘awkward gesture’ was his cry for help. To help him take the burden of billions and billions off of him. And ask Betty Ford centre to take care of him for the next decades.
