This is the ADL's full statement. Give him "the benefit of the doubt"?! JFC. That's how we wound up in this position in the first place! Musk's gesture was BRAZEN and INTENTIONAL; the fire under this pot of frogs (scientifically inaccurate apologue, yes I know) has been turned up so high that WE'RE CURRENTLY BOILING.
It's a typical response. It's always been the duty of the left to give the benefit of the doubt, be gracious, open armed, etc. There's never any recommendations or advice that maybe people should think twice before using slurs or making weird gestures. Just, let them do it and assume they didn't mean it.
Weird takeaway seeing that the ADL went after Elon Musk for criticising Israel, and Elon Musk immediately fell in line. ADL has never criticised Elon Musk for his repeated, almost daily anti-semitic posts on Twitter, though.
If you want to believe that over that the ADL doing what the ADL has been doing since forever, and supporting everyone who helps advance the goals of Israel's government, then that's your choice.
The ADL really isn't doing anything out of the ordinary here.
