ADL Head Celebrates Trump Picking Stefanik as US Ambassador to UN: 'I'm Excited to Work With Her'
ADL head Jonathan Greenblatt on Monday celebrated President-elect Donald Trump picking New York Rep Elise Stefanik as US ambassador to the UN and said he's "excited to work with her." "Mazel Tov to Elise Stefanik on her nomination to be the next US Ambassador to the UN," Greenblatt said Monday on X. "Rep. Stefanik has been a critical partner and absolutely fearless in fighting campus antisemitism. I'm excited to work with her to combat anti-Jewish hate & anti-Israel bias on the world stage."
Trump confirmed he had picked Stefanik for the job on Monday and noted how she "led the charge against antisemitism on college campuses."
Last week, Greenblatt congratulated Trump on his win and added: "We look forward to working with the incoming Administration, Congress and all elected officials in pursuit of our 111-year-old mission -- to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and secure justice and fair treatment to all." As a reminder, Greenblatt blamed President Trump for a torrent of over 2,000 bomb threats called into Jewish community centers in early 2017. Greenblatt expressed outrage after Trump said at the time that the calls were probably a false flag to "make people look bad." The ADL used the threats to harangue Trump for "emboldening anti-Semites" and legislation was passed as a result of lobbying from the ADL to increase funding and security grants to Jewish groups.
It turned out nearly all of the JCC bomb threats were carried out by "18 year old" Israeli-American Michael Ron David Kadar, who was found to have a bitcoin wallet worth millions of shekels (a few copycat threats were called in by African-American Juan Thompson). Kadar was found guilty in Israel in June 2018 for the bomb threats and sentenced to ten years in prison. In 2019, evidence was dug up by geneticist Franklin Stahl, Ph.D., a member of the National Academy of Science, suggesting that Kadar's Israeli mother, Dr. Tamar Kadar, who is a chemical weapons researcher at the Mossad-operated Israeli Institute for Biological Research, may have been the real culprit behind the calls. Stahl reported that Kadar, who evidence indicates was actually 27 years old and not 18 years old at the time of his arrest, was nothing more than a fall guy. Additionally, Kadar appears to have been freed from prison by Israel and allowed to travel back to America only to be arrested and jailed on a weapons charge in Illinois. The ADL refused to remove the hoax calls from their list of "anti-Semitic incidents" for 2017. The ADL never apologized to Trump or his supporters for smearing them for supposedly inciting these (hoax) bomb threats and never offered to give back the money they got from Congress due to hyping the threats. "The new information does not change our view that the bomb threats against Jewish institutions were anti-Semitic and harmful to the communities targeted," the ADL said in a press release after Kadar's arrest. "No matter who placed the calls or why the calls were placed, the outcome was the same: they instilled fear and disrupted communities across the country."
