 'In 1993', write Jeffrey Blankfort, Anne Poirier and Steve Zeltzer, 'the District of Attorney of San Francisco released 700 pages of documents implicating the Anti-Defamation League, an organization that claims to be a defender of civil rights, in a vast spying operation directed against American citizens who were opposed to Israel's policies in the Occupied West Bank and Gaza and to the apartheid policies of the government of South Africa and passing on information to both governments.'<ref>Jeffrey Blankfort, Anne Poirier and Steve Zeltzer, [http://www.counterpunch.org/adlspying2.html The ADL Spying Case Is Over, But The Struggle Continues], ''Counterpunch'', 25 February 2002.</ref>

-The ADL's original focus on attack on Jews and minority ethnic group gave way in the 1980s to an approach which involved the ADL spying on left and human rights groups.  According to Robert Friedmann, writing in the ''Village Voice'':
+In the 1980s, as for many previous decades, the ADL was involved in spying on left and human rights groups.  According to Robert Friedman, writing in the ''Village Voice'':
 :In the early 1980s, researchers [[Russ Bellant]] and [[Chip Berlet|Berlet]] asked to meet fact finding head [[Irwin Suall]], to discuss their work on anti-Semite [[Lyndon LaRouche]].  "Our view then of [[Irwin Suall]] was that he was this really terrific investigator," says Berlet.  "So we introduce ourselves, say what we are up to and Suall leans back in his chair and basically runs down a dossier on each of us: about what our political activities are, who we work with, what organizations we belong to. Obviously, he was just trying to blow us away and he succeeds admirably.  We were just sitting there with our mouths open feeling very uncomfortable."
