20. Here's what the ADL actually said on 1 April 2014:

... ADL’s annual Audit of Anti-Semitic Incidents, released today,reported a total of 751 incidents across the U.S. during the 2013 calendar year ... While the total number of anti-Semitic incidents declined overall, one dark spot in the numbers was a significant increase in violent anti-Semitic assaults. The Audit recorded a total of 31 anti-Semitic assaults on Jewish individuals or those perceived as Jewish in 2013, up from 17 in 2012 ... “The high number of violent in-your-face assaults is a sobering reminder that, despite the overall decline in anti-Semitic incidents, there is still a subset of Americans who are deeply infected with anti-Semitism and who feel emboldened enough to act out their bigotry,” said Mr. Foxman ...“The explosion of viral hate is impossible to quantify, but should not be ignored” ...
ADL Audit: U.S. Anti-Semitic Incidents Declined 14 Percent in 2012


This really is an odd moment to choose to attack the ADL -- and I think it's obnoxious to misrepresent what they actually say
