the adl opened its first office in 1913 a year before the outbreak of world war i. two decades before the rise of before the35 years birth of israel. the adl was founded to stop the defamation of the jews and its people in this room know very well the defamation of the jews was not unique to the 20th century. it is a problem that has been unique for more than 20 centuries. it has plagued backwards and progressive societies. it has transcended time and space, faith and coulters. i've mentioned this banal point because too many have forgotten it. too many believe today the jewish state is because of the defamation of the jewish people. that israel is the cause of anti-semitism across the world. they believe the shameful questioning of a student at ucla or the statements of politicians in london, or the murderous actions of killers in paris are sometimes a byproduct of israel's policy. israelome today believe is the cause of anti-semitism, the adl first opened its doors in 1913 some believed israel was the cure for anti-semitism. some of the greatest zionist thinkers b

[ inaudible ] >> the question is, is there a difference between anti-semitism and anti-zionism? right. what i would say is no. i'm going to explain way. there is a difference. 6 that is a difference for, and a number of years ago i worked with a mentor on coming up with a difference that -- called it the 3-d test, to be able to show the difference between legitimate criticism of israel, which could be tough, and criticism that spills over into anti-semitism. those three ds were demonization of israel, a double standard, and the denial of israel's very right to exist. now, by the way, those of you who don't know, the reason why i chose the 3-d is the image, because when you watch a 3-d movie, everything is blurred
