This decision follows controversy surrounding the ADL&#8217;s now-removed &#8220;Glossary of extremism,&#8221; which had included conservative organization Turning Point USA, founded by the late Charlie Kirk, labeling it with ties to extremist groups. Patel criticized former FBI Director James Comey for close collaboration with the ADL, accusing him of turning the FBI&#8217;s counterterrorism efforts into <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >politically motivated activism<\/a>. The ADL acknowledged Patel&#8217;s decision but reaffirmed its commitment to protecting the Jewish community. The move reflects a meaningful shift in the FBI&#8217;s approach to partnerships and definitions of extremism, amid ongoing criticism from conservative figures and public debates over the ADL&#8217;s role in labeling groups as extremist.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>The FBI has reached a turning point with a group that&rsquo;s supposedly dedicated to battling bigotry &mdash; but with a history that includes tarring the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/conservative-business-group-sues-mlb-bring-all-star-game-back-to-atlanta\/\" title=\"Conservative Business ...
