ADL’s Abraham Foxman: Obama didn’t throw Israel under the bus
The Plum Line (Washington Post) ^ | 5/20/11 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 05/21/2011 1:26:20 PM PDT by Winged Hussar

I just got off the phone with Abraham Foxman, the Holocaust survivor who heads the Anti-Defamation League. He does not agree with the claim by some Republican 2012 presidential candidates and conservative commentators that Obama threw Israel under the bus in his Arab Spring speech yesterday.

...“I don’t see this as the president throwing Israel under the bus,” he told me. “He’s saying with `swaps.’ It’s not 1967 borders in the abstract. It’s not an edict. It’s a recommendation of a structure for negotiations.”

I don’t understand how this guy got through the Holocaust. With his attitude, I would expect him to be pushing everyone out of the way to get into the shower first.

It’s a recommendation of a structure for negotiations.

Because, as we all know, just exactly what that whole place needs is one more structure for negotiations.

“What did Jews in Hitler’s concentration camps call the Jews who helped prepare you for the ovens? Can’t remember. They had a name for them, though. Seems appropriate here.”

Kapos (trustees, collaborators)—they told the other Jews that they were going to take nice warm showers.

“Abe Foxman is a TYPICAL American Jew...extremely leftist, minutely Jewish.”

I resent this just as much as a Black person might resent the statement that Al Sharpton is a “typical” American Negro. Foxman is garbage that unfortunately happens to be Jewish, and Sharpton is garbage in a Black package. Either would be garbage no matter how they were packaged.

Abraham bin-al Foxman, you have a check waiting from Mr Soros.

LibWhacker:

They were called JUDENRAT. They wore armbands with the star of David on them. They helped round up the jews and they packed them in the cattle cars. They also played music while the lines of jews went to the showers.

They were told that they would either get to live as sexually sterile enemy aliens or they would be the last Jews to die by the Nazi regime. All Jews should be familiar with the history of intra-Jewish traitor movements. Judenrat was just a more modern version of an age old problem.

I would say the ADL and “reform” Judaism is another manifestation of this same illness. Just like “Unitarian” and other pro-vice “flavors” of Christianity render the same disservice to the teachings of Jesus Christ. Always be wary of the enemy within...

Because you always start negotiations from a place of greatest weakness. It shows you are willing to give everything up for a good result.

The ADL is to Jews what NOW is to women.
Nuff said.

“I see a lot of positive” Foxman concluded.

Abe, can you give me the name of your ophthalmologist, please?

No,the “Judenrat” the Ghetto Jews who saved themselves by helping the SS in sending their own to the extermination camps—hoping the beast will be too satiated to eat them—at least for a little while—a longer while if they were lucky.
The coward's cowards and the damned of the damned.

Capo.
Jews who worked inside the death camps.
Their tasks included transporting victims of gassing to the ovens, cleaning the gas chambers of human excrement and blood, removal of gold from the teeth of the victims, and shaving the heads of those going to the gas chambers.

Babi Yar.
A deep ravine outsize the Ukrainian city of Kiev, on the
Dnieper River where the Einsatzgruppen killed and buried 34,000 Jews in one or two days (September 29-30, 1941).

They’re throwing them out there fast and furious to try to cover up this massive fail— but it won’t work. This one is the one that broke the camel’s back.

And what will the esteemed Abe Foxman say when Israel is no longer?

That's nothing. You want to really toss your lunch, read this piece by Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic. These people are pathetic. I truly don't see how any can claim their religion means anything.

Dear Mr. Netanyahu, Please Don't Speak to My President That Way
