    New York – The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) strongly criticized an ad in Saturday’s (Feb 28) New York Times calling National Security Advisor Susan Rice “blind” to genocide.

    The full page ad, placed by This World: The Values Network run by Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, runs through a litany of personal attacks on Ambassador Rice’s character and asserts that her criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu merits special condemnation because of “her pattern of callous disregard for genocide.”

    Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:

    Whatever concerns one may have about disagreements between the United States and Israel or about the Iran negotiations, there is no justification for this incendiary personal attack.

    The spurious and perverse association of criticism of Israel’s prime minister with ignoring genocide not only poisons the discourse on a vital global security issue, it trivializes the horrific nature of genocide and the memory of its victims.

    Neither the security of Israel, nor the debate on Iran, are served by this ad on the eve of Ambassador Rice’s address to AIPAC. It is not only an ugly distraction from the real issue, it is reckless.

    Who cares that he is 100% correct?

    Hey Foxman,
    You’re confused. Crawl back into your hole. Your kids married goyim. Your line is over.

    Cat Skin Salesman. Rabbi Boteach is not exactly playing with the rights of Torah when he writes about a “kosher jesus” and “kosher sex”. Maybe he has a friend in heaven, but I am not a fan on the ground.

    Alas we have to agree with him but he’s correct. Susan Rice is an Obama socialist liberal democreep pansy.

    Foxman is a coward and self-appointed Jewish leader who does not live by Jewish values of the Torah!

    All the Jewish cowards are coming out of the woodwork. It is a Biblical prohibition not to fear anyone but Hashem. Look in the Torah and the Rambam. Esther pleaded for her people by the command of Mordechai. No matter what happens the Jews will outlive all of the Hamens and their oppressors as mentioned in the Bible. King David wrote in Psalms: “I fear no evil because You (Hashem) are with me!” Either you stand with your people or you are against Hashem.

    This is not a surprise. The ADL is a branch of the Democratic Party. It is supposed to fight anti-Semitism. This attack on Rabbi Boteach is not an attack on anti-Semitism. About 2 weeks ago, the ADL announced it was opposed to Netanyahu speaking to Congress. Whatever opinion one has about the upcoming Netanyahu address to Congress, it is not the business of the ADL. The only reason it is the business of the ADL is that Foxman has turned the organization into a branch of the Democratic Party.

    Foxman is worried about Botach’s impact on Jewish influence in the government; Botach is worried about Rice’s stupidity in condemning Bibi and fostering a nuclear Iran.

    “Foxman is a coward and self-appointed Jewish leader who does not live by Jewish values of the Torah!”
    I accept that with his $800,000 a year salary paid by peoples donations
    meant to support a cause and NOT foxman.
    I’d like to take your little ditty altering it to
    “boteach is arrogant and self-appointed Jewish leader who does not live by Jewish values of the Torah!”

    But this makes a new book for boteach titled “kosher pretense”
    I guess it’s Purim so he figures its ok.only problem is that boteach thinks every day is Purim.

    Now in reference to the leader of a organization called ‘anti defamation league’…
    It seems MANY of foxman targets are Jews and once in awhile an occassional outsider
    to qualify his salary.Is it OK to publically critisize Jews
    to the romans(western countries) and nazis(european countries)?
    Wouldn’t that alone bring more difficulties to JEWS that he ‘claims’ to want to avoid?
    Not to mention his ””prophesy”’that Netanyahu will damage Israel the nation (all Jews world wide)?

    …by the way
    THE BEARDED MAN CALLS HIMSELF AMERICANS RABBI.
    is he?

    All the debate points about how Netanyahu isn’t observant enough are a waste of good time and energy . Netanyahu is the leader of the Israeli government and is fighting for the survival of the Jewish state. Obama is a US President frustrated by his inability to break Netanyahu’s will, and is playing dirty. Abe Foxman should be ashamed of himself for his position on Netanyahu addressing Congress. Susan Rice is but one of countless stooges who are doing Obama’s dirty work. For any Jew to agree with Obama’s madness is in itself pathetic and self destructive. Without Israel we are all lost.

    Are all these remarks actually being generated for someone who wrote a book entitled ‘Kosher יש”ו’? Are we taking this man’s opinion to mean anything?

    לא יסור שבט מיהודה ומחוקק מנין רגליו עד כי יבוא שילה ולו יקהת עמים

    If you take each first letter after the word לא up to יקהת, you get:

    לא יש מום רע כיש”ו

    And, even though חז”ל have warned us about this worst of טומאות, this one, in a lame effort to promote himself as something or other, writes a book called ‘Kosher יש”ו.’ All this in addition to having the absolute גאוה to self proclaim himself as ‘America’s Rabbi.’ Feh!
