NEW YORK - The National Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Abraham Foxman, yesterday accused United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan of demonstrating "blatant one-sidedness" in his comments about Israel's war against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
"I am stunned that the UN secretary general cannot find his tongue except to criticize and denounce Israel, and is unable to raise his voice to denounce Hezbollah's daily firing of hundreds of rockets that are specifically intended to hurt civilians," Foxman said yesterday in an exclusive interview with Haaretz.
"In addition, [Annan] has not bothered to mention the loss of life in Israel as a result of the rocket attacks," Foxman continued. "When will the UN secretary general begin to give Jewish lives the same respect he extends to other human beings," the ADL head asked.

It's a shame Foxman blew so much of his credibility in going after Mel Gibson.
Stunned? It appears Foxman knows neither Annan nor the UN.
Good point.
It's like Foxman finally woke up after a long hangover!
Foxman is shocked huh?
Well, at least he finally got a glimpse into what agenda really guides Annan and the U.N. Luckily for him it's not yet too late to have this awakening. Though what he and his supporters intend to do to effect change I wonder at.
It's simple numbers and basic politics.
How many votes do Jewish states have?
How many votes do Muslim states have?
There you go.

When might the ADL be blasting the Liberal Democratic Party for being obviously anti-semitic?
Meanwhile in LA, the CAIR is going after the mayor for being too much in favor of Israel.
It's a shame that Foxman blathers on about Mel Gibson being "antisemitic" based upon his drunken rantings, while he hesitates to call Coffee Enema antisemitic based upon exactly the same opinions expressed when he is stone cold sober.

If he spent more time on the New York Times, The Washington Post, Steven Spielberg, Jesse Jackson and most of the Dems. in Congress, he'd be more credible.
foxman is a scumbag-period-i'm jewish so this isn't anti-semitism speaking,just common sense-this fat blowhard supports gun control,illegal aliens,and anything else un-American you can think of-he may be right on Annan,no doubt about that,but you know what they say about a stopped clock-it's right twice a day
