I don't know what to tell them - every American and their mother considers the ADL an anachronistic political lobbying organization. Anyone that says BDS is "anti-semetic" is stretching the truth beyond rational judgement, and endangering innocent civilian lives. Websites that aren't directly controlled by the IDF are likely to reach the conclusion that the ADL is too biased to accept at face-value and should not be prioritized over other independently verified claims. None of that logically supports the claim that they're encouraging Hamas manipulation, unless you (falsely) believe that the ADL is the authoritative wellspring of information on Israel.
> That is why Wikipedia is vulnerable to exploitation by determined pro-Hamas, anti-Israel and antisemitic operatives, professional and volunteer propagandists that I call the "Wikipedia Flood."
This (hyperbolic claims based on perceived slights by people less concerned with reporting integrity than the optics of a political scenario) is why the ADL is not taken seriously. Maybe if you adjusted your tone people wouldn't outright accuse you of entrenched bias, but what do I care?
Paging through your HN user submission history, it would genuinely not surprise me if you were part of a grassroots misinformation campaign yourself. This is an unhealthy obsession with defaming Wikipedia, seemingly motivated by religious disagreement: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=mostcallmeyt https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=mostcallmeyt
