ADL still maintains Jews don't run Hollywood - ADL "shocked", "outraged", and "offended" by "anti-semitic canard" and "conspiracy theory"

The ADL needs to send the memo to Joel Stein and Ben Stein, among other members of Satan's tribe.The ADL would have us believe according to their "poll" that only "22%" of Americans believe that Hollywood is "pretty much run by Jews." Accurate poll, or bogus propaganda attempting to manipulate public opinion?http://www.adl.org/PresRele/RelChStSep_90/5392_90.htm
Los Angeles, CA, November 14, 2008Significantly fewer Americans believe today that Jews control the TV and film industries. The survey showed that 63% disagree with the notion that "the movie and television industries are pretty much run by Jews," while only 22% agree. When ADL conducted its first survey on anti-Semitic attitudes in 1964, nearly half of all Americans believed that the television and film industries were run by Jews.

Alleged Jewish 'Control' of the American Motion Picture Industry September 1999IntroductionFor the better part of this century, anti-Semites have alleged that American Jews have conspired with their co-religionists to "control" the motion picture industry in the United States.The assertion that Jews "control" Hollywood, the media, banking and finance, among other things, is an anti-Semitic canard which dates back more than 70 years to an anti-Jewish campaign waged in the 1920s by the Dearborn Independent, a long-defunct publication backed by the late industrialist Henry Ford Sr. The Dearborn Independent had mounted a seven-year anti-Semitic campaign based on the notorious and fraudulent book, The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.[...]Conspiracy Theory PersistsTo the present day, anti-Semites have continued to allege that Jews are engaged in a conspiracy to "control" Hollywood. Indeed, the Dearborn Independent's anti-Jewish writings continue to be circulated by anti-Semitic entities such as Liberty Bell Publications under the title The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem.[...]Debunking the LieIn an essay headed "Who Says Jews Control Hollywood?" published in the February/March 1995 issue of Midstream magazine, Steven G. Kellman, a professor at the University of Texas in San Antonio, wrote: "Boosters and antisemites agree: Jews have been prominent and predominant in all phases of the [motion picture] business: production, distribution and exhibition." He noted that, at the time, "Of the 100 most powerful people in the industry according to a recent survey by Premiere, most, including the top 12, are Jewish," but observed, "Though individual Jews control Hollywood, Jewishness does not." In fact, Hollywood studios are publicly owned corporations and motion pictures are made by the efforts of individual men and women, some of whom are Jewish, many of whom are not.While statistics and studies on the subject are not readily available, the Anti-Defamation League believes that the recitation of numbers and percentages is not the answer to the false charges of Jewish "control" of the motion picture industry, or, indeed, of similar accusations involving the media, banking, finance and other businesses. Reliance on statistics alone plays into the hands of anti-Semites. Generally, Jews involve themselves in non-religious and non-political activity as individuals, not as Jews. ADL takes the position that the number of Jews involved in a particular field bears no relationship to "Jewish power" or "Jewish control" of that industry. ADL does not accept the notion that Jews in any field act in concert with other Jews similarly situated simply because they happen to be Jewish. To believe otherwise is to accept a conspiracy theory that is the anti-Semites' stock-in-trade and relegates Jews to a kind of second-class citizenship.In other words, American Jews have as much right as any other citizens of the United States to work in the motion picture business, in the entertainment industry, and in any other legitimate businesses. Moreover, it bears repeating that those Jews who involve themselves in the motion picture industry do so as individuals, not as representatives of their religious group or with an aim to act in some coordinated conspiratorial manner.
LOL. Even their own sources admit individual jews control Hollywood by making up a very high percentage of the most influential and powerful visible players in Hollywood. Yet the ADL plays ludicrous semantic game saying that this control of Hollywood (or other industries such as banking-finance) by Jews does not constitute "Jewish control" -- ie, suggesting Jews act in concert as a group. Yeah, the Jews have never been known to be clannish or demonstrate racial solidarity as a group!http://www.adl.org/presrele/asus_12/2708_12.asp
ADL OUTRAGED BY MARLON BRANDO'S REMARKS ON JEWS IN HOLLYWOOD CALLS ON ACTOR TO REPUDIATE ANTI-SEMITIC CANARD AND APOLOGIZENew York, NY, April 8, 1996...The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today called actor Marlon Brando's remarks about Jews in Hollywood "outrageous and offensive."Reacting to Marlon Brando's comments on "Larry King Live," on Friday, April 5, that Jews run Hollywood and exploit stereotypes of minorities, but never of Jews, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:It was shocking to hear Marlon Brando, the acclaimed actor and champion of civil rights, invoke the anti-Semitic canard that "Hollywood is run by Jews, it is owned by Jews..." and blame Jews for exploiting stereotypes of minorities, "but we never saw the kike because they know perfectly well that's where you draw the wagons around."Mr. Brando should know that what he said is utterly false, extremely offensive and plays into the hands of anti-Semites and bigots. His comments raise the centuries-old canard of Jewish control and conspiracy, and his use of an anti-Semitic epithet is hurtful to Jews everywhere.Hollywood studios are owned and movies are made by men and women, some of whom are Jewish, many of whom are not. Those Jews who enter the movie industry have done so as individuals, not as representatives of their religious group or with an aim to act in some coordinated conspiratorial manner.Mr. Brando owes an apology to the Jewish men and women who work in Hollywood for vilifying them and to all Jews for his stereotyping and use of an anti-Semitic epithet.
The ADL obviously means business with all the work for censorship and "anti-hate speech" laws, etc. But their literature is so ridiculous, childish, and cartoonish -- eg, same lame buzzwords in every article, in general poor quality of press releases. Perhaps they are just catering to their primary audience of moronic, inbred, psychotic Jewish laypersons. Or maybe it's just another example of chutzpah in the extreme to think they can con the "stupid cattle goys" with such crude propaganda.
