    The group, which combats anti-Semitism and bigotry, reported a 1000 percent increase in online donations during the week beginning Aug. 13, one day after the Charlottesville rally. The ADL said it received six times as many individual donations as during an average week this year, mostly from first-time donors, though it did not provide a total amount of money raised.

    In the aftermath of the rally, the ADL has seen its profile skyrocket. It received $1 million donations from Apple and 21st Century Fox CEO James Murdoch, and announced a partnership with Bumble, a dating app, to block bigoted profiles. JP Morgan Chase also announced this week that it would donate $500,000 to the group. JP Morgan and Apple also pledged to match donations to the ADL and other nonprofits from employees.

    On Friday, the ADL announced a partnership with the U.S. Conference of Mayors to combat hate and bigotry.

    Tha ADL is not going to stop the Nazis, regardless of how much money their executivs have at their disposal. High end dinning and vacations will not solve history’s oldest hate, anti-Semitism. The only solution is, for the Jews to stop hating each other and support the state of Israel, the only true hope for the Jews.
