ADL defends Nazi salute

He's laughing at them. He feels so safe.
- He's laughing with them, they're out there gaslighting people for him.
  
  I'd imagine Musk thinking everybody are laughing with him always because he is so desperate for validation and those that he can't gaslight himself are with him is why he is a nazi.
  I'd imagine Trump to laugh to himself with self indulgence of all his smarts, and mostly scoffing and despise everyone that supports him or not including those closest to him and his own family. Thinking of it, it's not impossible he despises them all because they are supporting him. Idiots that allow themselves to be herded like sheep by a wolf like himself.
- I'd feel pretty safe if I literally controlled the platform everyone was speaking on, too.
- What a shame if

People seem to forget that the ADL is not a Jewish advocacy group, they are an Israeli lobby group. Israel is a far-right government that is actively engaged in genocide.
- Also remember it’s in Israel’s best interest to conflate Jews with zionists and make people worldwide hate Jews so they make Aaliyah to Israel and create babies for the IDF. Also the goal of the “birthright” program (what a fascist name right?!)

The ADL are defenders of genocide. Is it any wonder they'd be pro-Nazi?

Never forget that the ADL spied on American citizens for Apartheid South Africa on behalf of Israel during the Reagan administration.
- on behalf of Israel
  Not exactly a good argument to discredit them saying it is not a nazi salute. An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
  I'm not making any claims about the ADL beyond having some serious doubt that they would go along with nazi-ism.
  
  This was a literal investigated criminal case, this isn't supposition.
  Your serious doubts is nothing more than ignorance.
  EDIT: Another thing that is not supposition. Israel was one of the final supporters of Apartheid South Africa. They supported them even after the US stopped.
  Pick up a history book.
  And Yes, Israel has just spent the last 15 months committing what every human rights organization has declared a genocide. Can't get more nazi'ish then committing a genocide.
  
  Israel has a complex relationship with Nazis.
  During WW2, the Lehi terrorist organization actually tried to join in the war on the side of the Nazis.
  One of the men behind this initiative went onto become prime minister of Israel in the early 1980s.
  The Lehi terrorist organization folded into the IDF in 1949.
  Now, there was a philosopher who was a member of Lehi, he took Nazi ideology and sort of swapped master race and the undesirable race. God's chosen people had to be the master race, and the Arabs who lived in on the land were declared to be undesirable.
  As a note, the Lehi prime minister was Netanyahu's political mentor.
  
  An organization working on behalf of israel is unlikely to support nazi behaviors, no?
  Historically, yes.

  The ADL is atrocious. I’m Jewish. This was a variation of a Nazi salute.
  Also, Zionist and Nazi propaganda have quite the overlap about “chosen people” and “master race”. It never sat well with me as a kid which is why I became antizionist around age 10 or so.

If Elon walked out wearing a red arm band with a swastika, the ADL would be talking about its history as a Hindu symbol.
- "Mr. Musk has provided us with another delicate moment, demonstrating the ancient Roman salute combined with a Hindu symbol. It appears that the talk about the AI-operated gas chambers was a bit of an awkward slip, and it's best we do not further aggravate the division of our nation."

If it was a genuine mistake he would have sincerely apologised. Only a nazi doesn't apologise for making a nazi salute.
- Is "Thanks guys" the only comment he's made on the topic?
  (Asking here because I don't have a twitter account)
  
  I remember reading he also just laughed it off and said people are just paranoid and see what they want to see.
  A pretty good tell-tale sign of a fascist is that they will never apologize or admit doing wrong. You have to appear strong at all times.

Who/what is ADL?
- Anti-Defamation League. Basically a zionist organization that goes after anything they percieve as being anti-semitic. Their definition of anti-semitic typically seems to include vocally supporting Palestine & not supporting Israel.
  Part of what makes this noteworthy is they call anti-semitism often in dubious cases where it is not present - so them defending Elon sieg heiling multiple times is unusual, but also likely a calculated move to not distance their organization from president musk's administration.
  
  It used to be Anti-Defamation League but it's looking more like AIPAC Defense League.
- They're an organization that calls out antisemitism.
  Problem is saying anything against Israel, or pro-Palestine will get you on their public list of antisemites, along side your local neo-nazi militia members.
  It's Zionist propaganda and intimidation.
  
  So they're a Nazi organization
- Anti-Defamation League. They're a non-profit political group that state their mission is to combat anti-Semitism. They're mostly a pro-Isreal group.
  
  They spied for a foreign government. They should have been required to register as foreign agents and the only reason they didn't was because the foreign government was Israel. Instead they just had to notify the US citizens they spied upon that they spied upon them, and what they discovered.
- ADL stands for Anti Defamation League, the first paragraph on the about us page on their website reads.
  ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.”
  
  *except Palestinians

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

The ADL exposed themselves as a hate group 14 months ago

The ADL has been in Trump's pocket ever since he moved the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
- Musk attended Netanyahu's visit to Congress. And Musk went to Israel for a propaganda tour of oct7.
  Fun fact zero babies were shot in their crib on oct7
  
  This photo makes my skin crawl.
  
  What the hell is happening in this photo?
  Is that a crib on a shopping cart? Umbrella vests? Musk wearing Taci-cool wear?
  If I didn't know any better, I'd say this was made up to mock Musk and Israel.

Lot of businesses backed up Hitler and his Nazis too.
A lot of them even came out of that whole situation in pretty good shape.
- IBM, Coke, and Ford had no issues doing business in nazy germany, even if they were under a different name. Business only cares about steady and growing revenues/margins no matter how it comes about it.
- The most important lesson I learned in Hebrew school was that the Holocaust would have not been possible without IBM.

Yeah it was just "my heart goes to all of you" also known as "Meine Ehre heißt Treue”.

Reminder that Zionists like to collaborate with antisemites, in the hopes of accelerating emigration to Israel.
- Not so fun fact: early on Hitler was a zionist, or at least considered it a good "solution" to the "Jewish question" before he came up with the final solution.
- Wait, stop! I think I heard this story already.

Regardless of if he intended to do a Nazi salute or not exposing the public to that level of cringe should be a capital offense.
- Now that I can certainly agree with.
- I hope his Tesla malfunctions with him in it. Shitty ass car killing a shitty ass person would be chefs kiss

what the hell weird timeline are we on.

🤣 /s

As long as you grease the right palms you're never in the wrong

I heard of ADL Wayy before this,And its pretty classic they are doing this judging by their past.
(oops wrong acc but its fine)

Nazis defend a nazi doing a nazi salute. Color me shocked.

~~made an awkward gesture~~ forgot he wasn't supposed to do the Nazi salute in public in a moment of enthusiasm...
FTFY
- Forgot? Why should he care? There appear to be no repercussions to his behaviour.
  Unfortunately, it seems these people can do whatever the hell they want.

Why wouldn't they? The ADL has never had a problem with fascism, they're one of it's staunchest supporters.

Soooooo many Nazis to tag on Lemmy today

Same old nazi/zio bond.
https://www.jpost.com/Features/When-Zionists-made-deal-with-the-Nazis

And there’s people on Lemmy repeating these exact words

Lol is the Elon response real of photoshopped? Man what an asshole if true. I mean, also asshole if not.
I've always suspected this man was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but I was told I was overthinking it. I wonder if the ppl who told me that I was wrong remember doing so.

Maybe he had no1 near he could've given a hug. Or nobody near wanted to hug a Nazi. So this 'awkward gesture' was his cry for help. To help him take the burden of billions and billions off of him. And ask Betty Ford centre to take care of him for the next decades.

I don't know who adl is but this is correct. he actually was going off on the us putting astronaughts on mars because he wants trump to funnel money to his company. He was making all these broad gestures and we are going to put a flag here and here. honestly I practically would have prefered a straight out nazis salute.
- He thumped his chest and did it emphatically. Then he turned around and did it again. The only way it could've been more nazilike is if he stomped while he did it
  
  yeah. sorry if it sounded like he did not its just his whole thing went into this america fuck yeah type of thing that followed in lets get people on mars which worries me more as I hear a big sucking of tax money sound from him. what he was going on about would cost someone (cough us) trillions and not just one. many many. but yeah why that is his go to excitement gesture is pretty disturbing.
- ADL is a German fascist party.
  
  That's AfD.
  
  you would think they would be more pro nazis salute.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe this was simply a mistake? Never assume Malice for something that can be explained by utter stupidity. If it was intentional he probably would be bragging about it non stop.
- Two times. One after another. He did it two times specifically to assure you that he's not joking. And he knew you would still excuse him.
- Did it ever occur to you to watch the video? Even the first time was a very deliberate movement, and the second time should remove any doubt.
- I think he didn't mean to do it in that moment, but he appears to have been practicing.
  <br>
  
  Oh, you don't heil twice by accident.
- Gaslighting.
- Shocker that you want to defend the nazi
- It is hard to do it by mistake, and even if let's not treat 53 year old man as some kid that didn't know.
- Yes, that was my first thought. Then I saw him turn around and do it a second time.
- Spock would be disappointed in you.
- Deleted by author

- Dude, watch the video, it's like 10 seconds long. He does the salute, twice. Not in a "oh this could be construed as something else", but a full on seig heil. Twice.
  He then posted the video of himself doing it on Twitter. Not with any explanations or defense of his actions, just the video.
  He gave a Nazi salute and is proud of it. And idiots like you are scrambling to try and give him the benefit of the doubt when literally no doubt exists.
- Mate, he did the nazi salute twice. If it was a still image you might be able to believe that it was an unintentional part of a larger gesture, but the video shows what it is. It's a nazi salute. If you don't want to be compared to nazis, maybe don't do the nazi salute?
- Reposting someone else's gif becsuse it is so perfect.
- DoN't BeLiEvE yOuR lYiNg EyEs
  sheesh
- This is the essence of doublespeak: contradictions in the smallest possible footprint, laid out glaringly and consumed with eager approval.
  That's what you're doing literally right now. Dude makes a clear Nazi salute and you're like "naaah surely the ADL can't be wrong" like no fuck the ADL and their lies.

He wasn't doing a Nazi salute. He's literally trolling you all and you're all falling for it.
- "He didn't mean for it to be a Nazi salute, he just wanted it to look like a Nazi salute. You know, to troll people who don't like Nazis "
  
  He's literally just a cringe edgelord desperate for attention. And people keep giving him exactly what he wants.
- It's the rule of goats:
  If you screw a goat ironically, you still screwed a goat.
- Explain me how this is trolling people. Hahaha I'll just do a little gesture that seems exactly like a nazis salute...to troll some liberals.
- Stop gaslighting.
- ask the trump why his hand wasn't on the bible during oath
  
  I'm assuming it would catch on fire, no?
  
  Because the event was indoors, the fire marshal wouldn't allow it.
- Hey if you're trolling you should check out the !chadmctruthstruth@lemmy.world community, I think you'd like it.

- Have you seen the video? He did an unmistakable Nazi salute to the crowd, then turned around and did the same Nazi salute towards the USA flag. This was as Sieg heil as Nazi salutes come.
  
  In no time ever has a Nazi gripped their heart like that before reaching out their hand. I just went through countless videos of fucking Nazis to confirm this. Stop spreading misinformation /disinformation
- If this kind of greeting is so much in your standard repertoire that you just accidentally without thinking go for it in such a moment... Then it is not the "stupid PC police trying to claim everything is offensive". It is offensive. Which normal person does that?
  Edit: I mean, seriously, look at this
  Taken from https://lemmy.world/post/24527348 I just include it here in case that post is deleted.
  
  What? That's just Hitler doing an awkward gesture.
- remember guys, it's only a nazi if they do a nazi salute while saying "heil hitler I'm a nazi kill all jews and other minorities" just like it's only a racist if they're burning a cross and yelling the hard R and saying "I'm a racist", but only if they do it all at the same time. 2 out of 3 doesnt qualify.
- He done it twice and repeated a version of the 14-words after it, thanking them for securing the nations future.
- He did the salute. And talked about the Great Replacement Theory. And endorsed the fucking AfD. And named himself Kekius Maximus.
  He's a Nazi, Jack, wake up.
- Cool. What is your walkaround for the crap he’s pulling in Germany’s politics right now, with their far right?
  
  He can be both a nazi, and not do the back salute? Not sure 😂
- Afaik musk is yet to explicitly deny it. Laughing at adl doesn't count
- You voted for Stein. You don't get opinions, bitch. At least vote for the person you're choosing to elect you spineless piece of shit.
  
  So, Nazi salute = bad
  Vote for genocide = good
- Blocked
- Has Elon said it wasn't a Nazi salute? No.
