ADL Chief Jonathan Greenblatt Catches Himself Referring to Israel’s Anthem as ‘Our National Anthem’: ‘I Shouldn’t Say Our’
Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt caught himself during an interview this week after referring to Israel’s national anthem as “our national anthem.”
“Think about this. The national symbol, let’s say, of Hezbollah is a rifle. That’s what’s on their flag. The national symbol of Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sword. That’s what’s on their flag,” said Greenblatt during an interview with the Jewish Broadcasting Service on Monday. “The national symbol of Israel is the shield, it’s the Star of David. The symbol of our people is not a weapon of war, it’s an instrument of defense. The thing that most embodies our entire ethos is not harming others, it’s again creating a better world.”
He continued, “This is fundamental to our tradition for thousands of years, and so the idea that our national anthem would be the Hatikvah, would be The Hope–”
Greenblatt – an American citizen who was born in Connecticut – then caught himself, adding, “I shouldn’t say our, it’s Israel’s national anthem, but I think it speaks to the Jewish longing, the Jewish longing that whether you’re a Jew in, I don’t know, New York City or in Nairobi, Kenya, like we all have this shared sense of hope.” — Mediaite
Our Take: This is a mind-blowing clip:
If Jonathan Greenblatt is not a secret white hat, he’s apparently unaware that he’s destroying his entire thing.
"There were these accusations that the Jews killed Christ."
