Proverbs Daily Reflection – January 22, 2025

My good name reputation and integrity are all that matters in my life at this point. A good name before my God matters more to me than what men think, although what men think does matter. #josephmekaelpageministries

Reflection on Proverbs 22:1 A good name is more desirable than great riches. This profound truth from Proverbs 22:1 (KJV) teaches us a vital lesson. Our character and reputation form a legacy that holds more value than any material wealth we could accumulate. Many chase after riches. They adopt ruthless tactics or step over others to achieve their goals. However, they fail to consider eternity…

Proverbs Daily Reflection – February 1, 2025

Happy Black History Month. We will be talking about black history all month long. I want to thank those who came before us and show appreciation to the freedom fighters. Truly, "Black Lives Matter." #josephmekaelpageministries

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.: A Legacy of Wisdom, Faith, and Sacrifice Proverbs 1:5 (KJV) – “A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. lived in a time of deep injustice—inequality, segregation, violence, and lynchings were everyday realities for Black Americans. As a young man, he witnessed the hatred…

wait I know why we hate AIPAC but what did ADL do? I thought the anti defamation League was good

The ADL is an Israeli/Zionist advocacy group at its core. It's main priority as an organization is to protect Israel and its mission for a Jewish Ethno-State. This is especially true under Johnathan Greenblatt's leadership who has said "antizionism is antisemitism" It's easy to think that the "Anti Defamation League" has no underlying agenda given its history as a "civil rights organization" but it has constantly used that as a screen for extremely right wing positions on Israel. Some of their greatest hits include: Equating Students for Justice in Palestine, JVP, and CAIR to "white supremacists" simply because they strongly oppose an ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. A leaked ADL memo revealing how ADL plans to "soften" the news to Americans that Israel plans to annex the West Bank. (Source). In this leak Greenblatt recognizes that the annexation is a violation of basic human rights. To me this is a clear indication that they are less concerned with civil rights and more concerned with shaping the public image of Israel, especially in the US. Really urge you all to read this leak! Supported South African Apartheid (surprise surprise) and participated in propaganda against Nelson Mandela and the ANC. They even employed a spy named Roy Bullock to infiltrate the anti-apartheid campaign in the US. They later settled a law suit for this. (Source) That's not even close to the only time they've utilized spies. THIS recent leak of Greenblatt talks about ADL having spies in Jewish Voice for Peace and other organizations. It also talks about how they are having a hard time with the global youth no longer buying into their propaganda. Another source you should give your full attention to. PLEASE listen to that whole thing. It's truly terrifying. You're gonna hear them talk a lot about why Tiktok is a danger to their mission.

HERE is an article about how the ADL has a long history of smearing black activists, working with Police/ICE, and its attempts to demonize the BDS movement. I could go on and on about how terrible and deceitful the ADL is. The sources above are a good start to understanding why we shouldn't trust the ADL but please look into all the other things they've done like working with the FBI to spy on Arab Americans, infiltrating student organizations they find to be a threat to "Israel's image", surveillance, the people who fund/donate to them etc.

The best way to fight orgs like this is to share/spread this info as much as you can. It's clearly working because they're losing global support especially with the youth.
