No one is going to argue the #ADL is perfect, certainly not me. That said, the attacks on the ADL I'm seeing on the Fediverse aren't nuanced critiques of ADL policy or actions, but are predominantly the same types of rhetoric seen against any Jews who speak out against hate they experience:

They're "Pro-Israel" (by which they mean don't want to see Israel destroyed)

"They're racist" (I've yet to see anything racist the ADL has said, but am open to reading it), etc.

The other question one should ask is what other organization representing a marginalized group do you see that has so much criticism lobbied against it from people outside the group itself?

When you see that kind of criticism lobbied at a group representing marginalized people, how do you feel about the ones doing the critiquing and or calling for the group to be disbanded or destroyed?

If ad hominem attacks on other groups makes you uncomfortable, the same should hold true of the ADL.

I really love teaching. It infuriates me when people berate others for not knowing something - no one starts by knowing everything. Instead of reacting to "dumb" questions with hostility, it's better to react with patience and detailed explanations.
