It's Christmas time. The best time of the year for this newbie poster to complain how Jews don't obey her wishes on "The Passion". She's opened her presents, returned what she doesn't like, so now it's time to unleash some "Passion" oriented psycho-babble.

Well, in fairness, it appears from the context of the article that Foxman published it very recently. Can't tell exactly because there's no date, but he does state that it was ten months since the movie came out. So apparently, it was Foxman who chose the timing for this article.

I don't see any validity in drawing any conclusions about "jews" in general from anything Foxman said. He speaks for himself, and I suppose one could argue that on some occasions, he speaks for the ADL. But this appears to be something he wrote as an individual and does not constitute the "official" views of the AFL.

There is some value in commenting on it now because he apparently just wrote it. But the only conclusion I draw from what he wrote is that he personally is not someone I'd take seriously in the future. It's a comment on his personal credibility, IMHO. Nothing more, and certainly nothing that would justify any blanket assertions about people of any race or faith.
