Shouldn't a Scholarship Sponsored By the Wiesenthal Organization Reward Those Who Fight Against Judenhass/Zionhass and Not Those Who Are Into Lefty "Social Justice"/"Human Rights-y" Bunkum?

That's the question that occurred to me upon reading this:
GRADE 12 SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

Funny, I thought the ideals that motivated Simon Wiesenthal had more to do with hunting down and bringing to justice Nazis and other Jew-haters who took part in the genocide of Europe's Jews. When--and more to the point why--did that morph into the egregious mush outlined above? (Wiesenthal does know that the "tolerance, social justice and human rights" industry tends to be hysterically anti-Israel and way too keen to crawl into bed with Islamists, doesn't it?)
