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.

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.

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.
