There is an extensive article here. One excerpt:
"In his letter, Boyajian objected to the sponsorship by the Town of Watertown, Massachusetts, of ADL’s anti-racist program — "No Place for Hate" - at a time when the latter’s Director was making disparaging remarks on the Armenian Genocide. In response to letters from several other readers, Boston area newspapers provided extensive coverage of this controversy and published editorials critical of Foxman and the ADL. The Watertown Town Council then held a hearing and, by a unanimous vote, decided to disassociate itself from the "No Place for Hate" program due to its affiliation with ADL. Other Massachusetts cities are considering a similar action.
So the ADL is clearly undermining its own objectives by their disgraceful indifference to Christian suffering. Perhaps it's a sort of justice that one of the world's most intelligent groups (American Jews) are so politically stupid. Despite the extensive antisemitism on the modern-day Left, over 80% of American Jews still vote Democrat in national elections. Can you beat that for stupidity?
And in case anybody wants to call me antisemitic for saying that, let me remind them of a favorite Leftist mantra: Criticism of Israel is perfectly legitimate. By the same rule, criticism of American Jews is perfectly legitimate too. Criticisms of Israel can be intended to help Israel (and I myself join with many Jews in saying that the Olmert government is betraying Israel) and criticisms of American Jews can be intended to help them too. And it would clearly gain American Jews respect if they did their best for the Armenians. And it would certainly do the ADL a lot of good if they got rid of their anti-Christian boss -- Abe Foxman.
Foxman has in fact just backed down and acknowledged that it was indeed a genocide that the Muslim Turks unleashed on the Christian Armenians but the backdown was so grudging and forced that it does him no credit. And the big question that remains is: Will the ADL put its weight behind ongoing Congressional moves to recognize that genocide? Don't hold your breath. Foxman's typically Leftist hatred of Christians trumps all else.
I seem to be in a particularly plain-speaking mood today. It's lucky I don't live in Canada!
