AJC vs. Antisemitism [edit]
How come this is categorized under antisemitism? 68.150.86.20 23:51, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Because it fights/opposes antisemitism. The encyclopedic categorization merely indicates a "topic." It is like the case of a war: you mention both sides, not only whom you think are the "good guys." Yours truly,--Ludvikus 12:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
AJCongress and AJCommittee [edit]
The reference to AJCongress appears at the head of the AJCommittee article. My edit was an attempt to make the two articles paralel in this regard. I'll refrain from further editing until we reach a consensus on how to make these two entries parallel. 207.197.214.38 19:33, 9 February 2007 (UTC) Oops, forgot to sign in before I started the above thread.

The AJCongress link at the top is sufficient differentiation, there's no need to write a mini description of AJCongress in the article; generally this would be linked just to a disambiguation link at the top. AJC doesn't refer to itself as AJCommittee; this misunderstanding has led to further confusion between the organizations, since AJCongress does refer to itself as such. AJC's press releases never refer to itself as AJCommittee. User:Fortran3 19:41, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
WK isn't primarily guided by an organization's own press releases. In the real world, both organizations ARE refered to by the AJCommittee and AJCongress monickers. If links at the top are sufficient, great. If additional reference in the head paragraphs is appropriate, great. But the treatment should be exactly the same on both pages.

What has the AJC done? [edit]
Most of this entry is laundry lists of ex-presidents and departments, which seem to be copied from the AJC's web site. Can somebody write something about what the AJC has done since 1907? They were a liberal organization for most of their 100 years. What did they do? Weren't they involved in the civil rights movement in the south?
Sources? [edit]
Afridman, could you provide sources for those additions? It seems awfully self-promotional on the part of AJC. There were other people who were responsible for those things too. Nbauman 23:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. I think the claim that a 1987 rally influenced the subsequent outpouring of Jews from the USSR is overbroad. I was working for a sponsoring agency at the time. I helped greet the college buses that day as they arrived at a pre-rally at GWU. It was swell. And the rally was a major event.
- But to credit it with playing a significant role in the USSR's change in policy, without a source for the assertion, confuses coincidence with causality. I'm editing it out. David in DC 14:28, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Removed POV section on “‘Progressive’ Jewish Thought and the New Anti-Semitism,” [edit]
The section is nothing but an attack on the book and contains no balance, just more anti-Zionist rhetoric.Scott Adler 18:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- You can't delete the entire "Criticism" section just because you disagree with it.
==This section was the work of many people, who reached a consensus on it. You can add sourced material to it, but not delete it. Your deletion violates WP:NPOV and WP:NOT#CENSOR. Nbauman 23:50, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Interfaith [edit]
There ought to be information on the AJC's interfaith activities, which are considerable. [1] ADM (talk) 17:54, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
