If you have ever posted online criticizing the Israeli government, the Anti-Defamation League may have you on a list—and that list may have been shared with the FBI. That is not speculation. It is what the ADL’s own CEO now says out loud.
The ADL is operating a full-time surveillance apparatus to monitor and control Americans who criticize Israel on the internet or engage in lawful political activism, according to remarks by its CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, that surfaced on social media this week.
Greenblatt says: “I have 45 people at ADL—full-time analysts—45 full-time intelligence analysts tracking the bad guys across social media, across AI, across video games, podcasts, crypto, you name it.” He adds that the organization has built “software to track Wikipedia [editors]”.

The admission confirms what critics have long alleged: that a private organization with a foreign-policy agenda is building files on American citizens—not for law enforcement purposes, but to police political speech.

The Targets: American Dissent
The interview references a broader speech Greenblatt gave at a Los Angeles synagogue. In that speech, later deleted from public view, Greenblatt lists includes Americans across the political spectrum—left, right, and center—united only by their willingness to question U.S. policy toward Israel or to organize politically outside establishment channels.
Anti-war activists. Christian conservatives. So-called “conspiracy theorists.” All catalogued as “the bad guys.”

‘The Largest Trainer of Law Enforcement in America’
The ADL’s reach extends beyond list-making. Greenblatt described the organization as “the largest trainer of law enforcement in America,” claiming it trains 20,000 officers annually on issues of extremism and hate .
This means the same organization building political dossiers is also shaping how American police understand who constitutes a threat. The revolving door between private advocacy and law enforcement training is a recipe for ideological capture—where the ADL’s foreign-policy priorities become the default lens through which local police view their own communities.
Shaping the Digital Public Square
The ADL’s monitoring extends into the infrastructure that shapes public discourse. According to Quds News Network, Greenblatt stated the ADL is “working with OpenAI, with Alphabet, with Anthropic, with Meta, with Microsoft” to “train” their large language models, and is also “investing in Wikipedia”.
The implications are significant. If a group that labels critics of Israel as “bad guys” is influencing the training data of AI systems and the editorial processes of Wikipedia—the world’s largest encyclopedia—it is shaping what future generations will be taught to believe about American dissent, the Middle East, and who gets to speak.
A Foreign Interest, Not a Civil Rights Group
The ADL presents itself as a civil rights organization. But its actions reveal something different: a partisan actor with a specific foreign-policy agenda, using the tools of surveillance, law enforcement training, and tech-industry influence to silence Americans who dissent.
The First Amendment protects the right of Americans to criticize any foreign government—including Israel—without being placed on a list and reported to the FBI. It protects the right to organize politically, to protest war, to join the DSA, or to advocate for Palestinian rights.
If a private organization wants to monitor speech, that is its right. But when that organization shares its lists with federal law enforcement, trains police, and shapes the algorithms that determine what Americans see and read, it ceases to be a private actor. It becomes a de facto arm of the state—policing thought on behalf of a foreign interest.
The ADL did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the specific number of analysts, the criteria used to designate individuals as “bad guys,” whether Americans placed on ADL lists are notified or given a means to appeal, or what “investing in Wikipedia” entails.
Until those questions are answered, the American people have every right to ask: Who elected the ADL to decide who belongs on a list? And what is going to happen to the Americans designated “bad guys” by Israel?
