**People have wondered why the ADL and the Simon Wiesenthal Center never mention the antisemitism of Castro (Fidel trained PLO terrorists).
Which people?

Myles Kantor:

While Castro’s hatred of Israel is too flagrant to deny and too proximate to ignore, Jewish organizations in America do just the latter.
The Anti-Defamation League recently released a report on "Anti-Semitism in the Egyptian Media, February 2001-February 2002." Cartoons in Egypt’s state-sponsored newspapers equating Zionism with Nazism certainly warrant condemnation; but why no report or press release on similar vulgarity from the most anti-Zionist regime in the Western Hemisphere?
At least the Anti-Defamation League doesn’t glamorize the regime that exalts the Arab brownshirts. The B’nai B’rith and American ORT, on the other hand, respectively feature photographs of Castro and the murderous Ernesto "Che" Guevara, who considered Zionism "reactionary."

Agustin Blazquez and Jaums Sutton:

Jewish intellectuals and organizations in the U.S. “were in the forefront of singing the praises of Castro.”
But with Castro’s background of anti-Semitism, his decimation of the Cuban Jewish community, his plotting against the state of Israel and his connections with the PLO terrorist wing, it was puzzling and insulting to the Jewish community, including the Cuban Jews in exile, when Israel’s Chief Rabbi Yisrael Lau visited Cuba in 1974. On that occasion Lau said of Castro, “He is a great friend of the Jewish people. Anti-Semitism is extremely hateful to him.” Hello?

Last I checked, Castro isn't mentioned on the ADL website. But conservative groups are:

Anti-Defamation League Labels Conservative Event 'Extremist'

The question remains, why does the ADL and Simon Wiesenthal Center ignore Castro? They like his politics? Of does Maurice Tempelsmans dealings in Angola (where Castro had troops) have something to do with it? Or maybe it is a little of both?

I could direct you to 20 articles excoriating Cynthia McKinney, mostly by conservatives, yet you support her because she is anti-Semitic, pro-Arab, and anit-Israel. Sir you are a transparent propagandist and hypocrite in my opinion.

There are Christian groups who kiss Castro's ass much more than Jewish groups do. Want some links?

Simon Weisenthal goes after Nazis and their modern-day cohorts. Castro is not past of his agenda. But you know that of course. Just one of your straw dogs. I am not fooled.
