During the Cold War agitation over the Armenian genocide was often for the purpose of discrediting anti-Communist Turkey, and indeed most Armenian groups were pro-Communist. In the post-CW era the Armenian-American community is still a hotbed of classic liberal Democrat ethnic politics. If there are any Turkish-American groups out there I don't know about them. I doubt there are that many Turkish-Americans.

The ADL has always been liberal and was often engaged in very public opposition to anti-Communist groups (back when anti-Communism unfortunately often went hand-in-glove with anti-Semitism). But it's definitely jumped clear off the cliff with Foxman, whose loud forays into domestic issues with no Jewish connection whatsoever make the former leaders of the ADL seem like absolute moderates in comparison (though of course, "liberalism" back then didn't mean all the things it does today).

The writer is wrong on one issue. Foxman was wrong about The Passion. Yes, Mel Gibson is an anti-Semite. But Foxman predicted that there would be literal anti-Jewish violence in the country if it was shown. It was and there wasn't, and so far as I know he has yet to apologize for this idiocy. Gibson's own ravings have provided him cover.

The true and legitimate rulers of the `Am Yisra'el are the Torah Sages. The entire secular ABC-communal organizational structure of the American Jewish community is a gigantic imposture.

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.
