I have one question for Abraham Foxman of anti defamation league

[donsu]

who was on c-span's Wash. Journal this morning to rebut the two proff that wrote a paper about the power of the Israel Lobby in D.C.

Abraham did you read the footnotes?

(Abraham called the proffs various uncalled for names and spoke a lot of spin/blather. at least he didn't yell at callers like the last time a pro Israel Lobby guy was on. I thought that guy was going to dive through the camera and come out my TV)

Abraham did you? did you read the footnotes to the proffs. paper?

1. Abe has no reason to burden himself with facts or research.

2. I listened to that this morning, too

Abe sounded VERY shrill and VERY defensive, and any time someone criticized Israel's policies, he called them anti-semitic. I wonder if there ever was anyone who criticized Israel that is NOT considered anti-semitic by good old Abe. When listeneing to him, I felt like if I called up and criticized the climate in Israel as too hot, he would call me anti-semitic.

By contrast, the two Profs they had on Friday souded very reasoned and were not shrill or defensive.

3. He did, at times, sound shrill and defensive

but he was right at least three times when he labeled callers as anti-semitic. There was some pretty appalling crap about Jews having too much power in America- not the lobby, mind you, but Jews. This is pretty classic stuff, along with the accusation of jews controlling the media for nefarious purposes.
