Thanks for clarifying. I'm not familiar enough with this organization to either stake a position for or against, but one passing observation based on that wiki page :
> Right-wing groups and pundits, including right-wing Jewish groups, have criticized ADL as having moved too far to the left under Jonathan Greenblatt, labeling it a "Democratic Party auxiliary"
> In August 2020, a coalition of progressive organizations launched the "Drop the ADL" campaign, arguing that "the ADL is not an ally" in social justice work. The campaign consisted of an open letter and a website, which were shared on social media with the hashtag "#DropTheADL". Notable signatories included the Democratic Socialists of America, Movement for Black Lives, Jewish Voice for Peace, Center for Constitutional Rights, and Council on American–Islamic Relations.[179] The open letter stated that the ADL "has a history and ongoing pattern of attacking social justice movements led by communities of color, queer people, immigrants, Muslims, Arabs, and other marginalized groups, while aligning itself with police, right-wing leaders, and perpetrators of state violence.
Always interesting to see entities criticized for being both too far left and too far right.
To me, the ADL doesn't seem right or left within the US. The evident goal of their org today is to silence criticism of US-Israel relations and run PR for Israel in general, which makes sense given its founding org. That's its own thing, in fact it'd be counterproductive to do it in a partisan way.
