Banning the ADL would harm us all, as they go above and beyond to maintain civil society. They help train FBI agents [1], highlight dangerous symbols of hate [2,3,4], help Paypal cut off the financial networks for those that support extremism and hate [5], make sure the news doesn't venture outside the Overton window [6], fight corporate anti-semitism [7], work with schools and teachers to help inoculate our children against anti-semitism [8,9,10,11], lobby to make their play spaces free of hate [12], and of course, they safeguard US interests in the Middle East by ensuring the continued existence of its greatest ally and asset, Israel [13].
If it weren't for the ADL, I fear the US would be a very different country. Our debt to this wonderful organization cannot be overstated.

[13] It is unrealistic and unacceptable to expect the State of Israel to voluntarily subvert its own sovereign existence and nationalist identity and become a vulnerable minority within what was once its own territory. - https://web.archive.org/web/20210519103412/https://www.adl.org/education/resources/fact-sheets/response-to-common-inaccuracy-bi-national-one-state-solution https://web.archive.org/web/20210519103412/https://www.adl.o...
