The national director of the Anti-Defamation League insists Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" fuels violence against Jews, despite recent polls by two Jewish groups suggesting the film is not anti-Semitic.
"This movie has not dissuaded anybody" from anti-Semitism, Abraham Foxman said yesterday. "People still have that point of view."

Abe Foxman, how much are you making from the crucifixion of Mel Gibson?

Why talk about Foxman --a liberal-- when conservative Jews who enjoy the patronage of conservative Christians (we buy their scribbles) like Himmelfarb, Kraut, Safire-- say the same things?

Abe Foxman wants rising anti-semitism and doesn't care if he has to make it himself to get some. If anti-semitism disapeared one day, what Mr. Foxman would do? What are his job skills?

This nonsense again?! Who elected this clown to anything? And why is his every utterance front page news? And treated with more reverence then religious statement from the Pope?
I never head of him until they started attacking the Passion.

"This movie has not dissuaded anybody" from anti-Semitism, Abraham Foxman said yesterday. "People still have that point of view." Notice how the bar has been moved. The lead used to be "this is an anti-Semitic film." Now, it's, "well, the film hasn't changed any minds." Gotta love it.

"This movie has not dissuaded anybody" from anti-Semitism, Abraham Foxman said yesterday. "People still have that point of view." Amazing. Abe just moved the goalposts. Passion now needs to be anti-anti-semetic.
As a result of the ADL's campaign against the movie, Mr. Foxman said his New York office has received "hundreds and hundreds" of anti-Jewish e-mails and letters, and the group's 30 national offices have received reports of Jewish children being called "Christ killers" in school. 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."
Knowing Foxman, if he had actual letters, emails or incidents, they would be heavily publicized. Quite frankly, he's lying.

As a Jew, I completely agree, and I'm getting really fed up with him. He has done more to fuel Anti-Semitism than this movie has.
On the ADL's website, there is a place to report Anti-Semitic acts. I propose that FReeper Hebrews should FReep ADL and report Mr. Foxman as an Anti-Semite.

Abe Foxman has done more to poison relations between the Jewish and Christian communities than anyone I can recall in my lifetime.

Amen dear.
I think a handful of Xanax bars a day would do wonders for poor Abe.
He might sleep a bit more and drool but think of the reduction in anxiety.
