One in four Americans blame Jews for causing the death of Christ, he said, citing a December ADL poll of 1,200 Americans. An ABC/Primetime poll taken around the same time showed that less than one in 10 Americans said yes when asked if Jews "today" are responsible for Christ's death.
This should be telling, beyond what it's actually polling, insofar as the validity of polls of any stripe.

Abe Foxman wants rising anti-semitism and doesn't care if he has to make it himself to get some. What a traitor.

Abe, dude. The people who write you hate letters don't really hate the Jews. They just hate you.

Is this guy still whining about this non-issue???? Or is he making this an issue so that the Anti-Defamation League will get more donations and funds.

"He was unable to gain admittance into one of the many previews around the country for sympathetic backers, so he and his interfaith consultant, Rabbi Gary Bretton-Granatoor, posed as clergy to gain admittance to a Jan. 21 preview shown to 5,000 pastors at an Orlando, Fla., church."
LOL This about sums up The ADL, love those words "posed as clergy".
To: kattracks
so he and his interfaith consultant, Rabbi Gary Bretton-Granatoor, posed as clergy to gain admittance Maybe if he had an open mind, in the beginning, instead of trashing the movie BEFORE he saw it, Gibson would have invited him. Does Foxman think what he did was wrong? Pretending to be someone he wasn't. /sarcasm

I think this movie has turned Abe Foxman into an anti-semite.

Foxman must have never heard nor ever understood "the boy who cried wolf" story ... when real anti-Semitism arises, less people will listen because of these nonsensical rants ...
Abe, shut up ... evangelicals know that Judaism is the heritage of Christianity ...

Enough to cause concern? In Foxman's mind one is enough to cause him concern, oh him of such thin skin.
He's getting paid way too much in his job of seeking out situations that upset him. Take his pay away, then maybe he'll be quiet.
To: kattracks
ADL can't get ready for the fall election cycle without raking in a few more buck$, and besides, most of their regular contributors will never see the movie, so what do they have to worry about?

Abe,
Call your shrink...the psychopharmacologist not your analyst and tell him/her you would like some Xanax...preferably the 2mg bars....when you get the prescription filled take a handful.
That should help with all those Christian bogeymen you're imagining.
Regards
WD

"only 2 percent of the 1,003 adults polled said "The Passion" is more likely to make them hold all Jews responsible...and 9 percent said the film made them less likely" A net 7 percent salutary effect. Abe Foxman should thank Mel.

The ADL is an ant-semitic fringe group that does not represent the Jewish population. Similar to a Jesse Jackson representing the blacks.

I guess I am guilty of taking this guy too seriously. When he talked for months about the movie possibly "fueling anti-semitism", I was sure he was talking about violent acts, not EMAILS.

God bless the Jews and help the bear the burden that is "Abe"...

He declined to say how many actual complaints have been filed with the ADL, only that there are "enough to cause concern. We are still cataloguing them."
Right. Something tells me that if the number of incidences had been above two, then the ADL would be shouting the numbers from the rooftops.
