'Silence is deafening': Seth Mandel shreds Left, ADL for hypocrisy on anti-Semitism

That was gorgeous.

I'm blown away.

There’s been a lot of talk about Donald Trump’s rather heated exchange with a Jewish reporter at today’s press conference over a question about anti-Semitism. Unsurprisingly, that got the attention of many liberals in the media, as well as the Anti-Defamation League, who sent out these tweets afterward:

Trump shut down a Q about bomb threats against Jewish centers. Let's ask @realDonaldTrump: "What about the bombthreats"? #answerthequestion pic.twitter.com/EMffFgcEoH

We are disturbed by the disregard by @POTUS when asked about #antiSemitic incidents https://t.co/rvX2fyi3gG #TrumpPressConference

At today’s #TrumpPressConference, @POTUS aggressively dodged questions on #antiSemitism. Our reaction: https://t.co/rvX2fyi3gG

And while the exchange absolutely newsworthy and deserves to be spotlighted, it’s also notable in that it’s gotten so much more attention than blatant anti-Semitism from the Left ever seems to garner.

Fed up, New York Post op-ed editor Seth Mandel is shining a light on the Left’s flaming hypocrisy when it comes to anti-Semitism. Mandel only needed to look to earlier today, at the confirmation hearing for prospective U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, for a sickening example:

Well, the ADL wasn’t entirely silent on Friedman. They clearly said something to him — to get him to apologize for criticizing them:
