Open Letter Sent to Anti Defamation League About Sarah Palin

To Whom It May Concern:

I am the great great nephew of Sigmund Livingston, your founder, and a blogger at geofflivingston.com. It's my request as a descendant of Sigmund and as a Jew that the Anti Defamation League (ADL) take swift and prompt action to condemn Sarah Palin's remarks this morning against the media, in conjunction with the Arizona Shootings.


In her video speech, Ms. Palin directly used the words "Blood Libel" in blaming the media for associations with her during the shooting aftermath. The ensuing wave of antisemitism caused the words "Jews" and "Blood Libel" to trend on Twitter for hours, tens of thousands of people associating Jewish people with drinking children's blood. Further, the association with Jews running the media cannot be ignored.

Ms. Palin continues to be irresponsible in her use of media to inspire hate. Today's acts against the Jewish faith are no different. We must make a stand. You are the organization to do it. Please act swiftly.

Thank you,

Geoff
