Press Split on
ADL 'Espionage'
ARTHUR J. MAGIDA SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
N
ews reports, editorials
and op-eds about the
Anti-Defamation
League's alleged spy
probe falls into two distinct cat-
egories: 1) Anti-ADL. 2)Pro-
ADL.
The coverage in question con-
cerns the ADL's alleged espi-
onage in the San Francisco area
against neo-Nazis, skinheads,
Arab-Americans, the National
Association for the Advance-
ment of Colored People, the
American Civil liberties Union
and other groups on the politi-
cal right and left.
Since the case first surfaced
in late 1992, San Francisco po-
lice have been investigating the
ADL for possibly buying police
files from an ex-member of the
police department's now-defunct
intelligence unit.
The FBI is also investigating
whether the officer sold infor-
mation to South Africa and Is-
rael.
The ADL has stepped up its
damage control efforts, issuing
a 50-page compilation of press
clips and its own version of
events, asserting that the San
Francisco investigation con-
tained "inaccuracies and have
mischaracterized ADL's fact-
finding operation."
Typical of the anti-ADL head-
lines and opinions are:
• "The Anti-Defamation
League Is Spying On You" by
Robert I. Friedman in the Vil-
lage Voice: "Once a proud hu-
man rights group, the ADL has
become the Jewish thought po-
lice."
• "Spy Masters" SF Weekly,
a San Francisco alternative pa-
per: "How did a Jewish civil
rights group become a Zionist
version of the CIA?"
• "A Spy Operation Against
Whom, and For What?," an ed-
itorial in the black-owned New
York Amsterdam News: The
ADL's not-for-profit status
"must be challenged, for it is
conceivable that our tax dollars
have been used by the ADL to
support covert activities de-
signed to destroy black people
and our institutions."
Typical of pro-ADL articles
are:
• A Wall Street Journal op-
ed by Stephen Schwartz, a San
Francisco Chronicle staff writer,
who claimed the "controversy
has played out against a chorus
of exaggeration about the ADL
... It's hard to see how 'keeping
files' is a criminal act ... Is there
not a right of research that is
equal to political advocates' right
of privacy, especially when there
is a potential for violence? In
San Francisco, objections to sur-
veillance arise when the sub-
jects are left-wing."
• "Is Justice Being Served,"
a Jewish Bulletin of Northern
California editorial: San Fran-
cisco's District Attorney has "riot
only... made his case in the dai-
ly newspapers, he's rendered
the conviction there as well...
The local news media has
thrived on the D.A.'s exposures,
often printing pieces of so-called
evidence... A visitor to San Fran-
cisco reading the local newspa-
pers... probably left believing the
ADL has been found guilty..."
• "Sniping At the ADL," a
New York Post editorial: "Those
who would use an isolated
episode of this sort to smear an
organization with a long and
proud history are animated by
their own political agenda."
Holocaust Museum
Inspires Blacks
For the 14 years that the new
U.S. Holocaust Memorial Mu-
seum in Washington was being
planned, critics kept saying that
the new institution might back-
fire:
Instead of increasing other
groups' sensitivity to anti-Semi-
tism and other bigotries, the
museum might actually in-
crease anti-Semitism by con-
vincing some that Jews' exercise
so much political clout that they
can have such an institution
built in the shadow of the Wash-
ington Monument.
Now, the Baltimore Afro-
American has one of the first
opinion articles about the mu-
seum to appear in a non-Jewish
minority publication — and it
rebuffs the museum's nay-say-
ers.
If anything, the op-ed by Dou-
glas I. Miles implies, the muse-
um will increase non-Jews'
empathy with Jews and Israel.
"If you visit the museum," he
writes, "you will come away
with a deeper appreciation of
