NEW YORK - The National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Abraham Foxman, accused United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan on Tuesday of demonstrating "blatant one-sidedness" in his comments about Israel's war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. "I am stunned that the UN secretary general cannot find his tongue except to criticize and denounce Israel, and is unable to raise his voice to denounce Hezbollah's daily firing of hundreds of rockets that are specifically intended to hurt civilians," Foxman said Tuesday in an exclusive interview with Haaretz. "In addition, [Annan] has not bothered to mention the loss of life in Israel as a result of the rocket attacks," Foxman continued. "When will the UN secretary general begin to give Jewish lives the same respect he extends to other human beings," the ADL head asked.

How 'bout that... Abe Foxman blasting someone other than Christians.
Birds of a feather!
Foxman is usually big trouble for Jews. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
With all due respect to the ADL, but....this is nothing new to most of the rest of us. But it's good that they have stepped up. Seems a lot of others are treading carefully around Mr. Anan and the UN. Why, I don't know.
And it took these people THIS LONG to figure it out???
Has ol' Abe been embarrassed into doing this? I thought his idea of fighting anti-semitism involved pointing out the occasional intemperate remarks of televangelists, republican politicians, KKK remnants, living John Bircher fossils, LaRouch-ites, etc. and going "eeeek!" all the while ignoring the black-turbaned elephant in the living room.
Given that israel is a member nation to the UN and Hezzbolah is not supposed to even have any weapons according to a UN mandate, Kofi should only be stating that the Hezzi are illegal and must be disarmed no matter what. Period. He seems to conveniently forget UN actions when helpful for his personal agenda.
Kofi Annan needs a permanent vacation for he has done too many dirty deeds.
Even a blind pig finds an acorn once in a while. Foxman matches up well with the sentence subject, both adjective and noun.
the stay puff marshmellow man,run for your lives!
hey what do you know a lib gets it.
