Jewish Rabbis condemn SPLC's "hate map"

The SPLC started out as a good group fighting the Democrat founded KKK.

But it's now morphed into a Democrat hate group that labels anyone who subscribes to traditional Christian or Jewish morality as haters.

100 Orthodox Jewish Rabbis have called on Amazon to stop using the SPLC to decide which charities are legitimate and which ones aren't.

The Rabbis sent Jeff Bezos a letter which said:

The letter charges that the SPLC "frequently vilifies group based upon nothing more than their advocacy for biblically-based beliefs about sexuality and family ethics that were uncontroversial a generation or two ago." It adds that the SPLC map omits groups "which ally with international terror organizations, openly glorify murder under the guise of 'resistance,' and frequently descend into clearly anti-Semitic expression."

"According to the SPLC, Christians can only incite hate, and Muslims can only be its victims," the letter states. "Yet more Jews have been murdered in the past 50 years due to radical Islamic terror organizations than all those groups that the SPLC does mention — combined. This level of dishonesty directly endangers the Jewish community."

A key part of the problem is that the SPLC for example says the following about why it doesn't classify Antifa as a hate group:

Why doesn't the SPLC list antifa as a hate group?


The SPLC condemns violence in all its forms, including the violent acts of far-left street movements like antifa (short for anti-fascist). But the propensity for violence, though present in many hate groups, is not among the criteria for listing. Also, antifa groups do not promote hatred based on race, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity (see criteria above).

Apparently the fact that Antifa beats the crud out of people who say things it doesn't like doesn't mean that they hate the people they're beating up.

But groups that support traditional marriage and never commit any violence are labeled by SPLC as hate groups.  Interesting standards indeed.

Interestingly here's what the SPLC has to say about why they don't have a category for anti-semitism:

Why is there no specific category for antisemitism?


Antisemitism is a central tenet of belief for most white hate groups, though other people are also anathema to these organizations. Many of the groups we list are antisemitic, including neo-Nazis, Racist Skinheads, Christian Identity adherents, Klan groups, many white nationalist groups, and others, such as Radical Traditional Catholics. Black separatist hate groups are also often antisemitic.

What's interesting is that the answer doesn't actually address the question.  In fact one would think that since these groups are antisemitic that would mean there is a need to have an antisemitic category.

It's clear why the Rabbis are concerned about Amazon using such a biased organization to determine which groups are hate groups.  After all any organization that doesn't label Antifa as a hate group but does label groups that simply support what Obama supported until the last 2 years of his Presidency, ie traditional marriage, as hate groups isn't really labelling hate but rather showing which groups Democrats approve of and which groups they condemn.
