The Coalition for Jewish Values (CJV) has called for Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the Anti-Defamation League, to resign, after he called Fox News host Tucker Carlson a Nazi.
The ADL retweeted and seconded a statement that “Tucker Carlson went full nazi [sic],” accusing Carlson of “us[ing] his platform to stoke racial tensions.”

The CJV, a group of Orthodox rabbis, called this “minimizing the Holocaust,” a form of antisemitic bigotry, which the ADL would have excoriated rather than endorsed were it “even minimally competent” to fulfill its mission.
“Minimizing the Holocaust is never acceptable, ” said CJV President Rabbi Yoel Schonfeld, “and to compare anyone to a Nazi does just that unless that person is calling for genocide or at least inciting violence. Were the ADL even minimally competent, it would call out, not endorse, a ridiculous tweet claiming that Tucker Carlson ‘went full Nazi.’ Under Greenblatt, the ADL is incompetent to fight antisemitism at a time when it is on the rise. He must step down.”
