I agree with you that the writer (seemingly trying to make Foxman look better than he really is) was wrong about
The Passion and so was Foxman with his description of the film and dire prediction that was way off base. That's a perfect example of what I mean about Foxman going off the deep end.
However, not all secular Jewish organizations in the US should be lumped into the same category as Foxman's ADL.
Without exception (except for explicitly conservative Jewish organizations) all the secular Jewish organizations in the US are liberal. They make up the so-called "official" Jewish communal structure in the US.
My point was simply that only the Gedolim are the authentic leaders of Israel.
