The leader of the Anti-Defamation League is reeling from Al Jazeera’s purchase of Al Gore’s Current TV cable network and worries the pan-Arab media company may spew anti-Israeli propaganda to a huge American audience.

In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV, ADL national director Abraham Foxman says Al Jazeera has aired anti-American, anti-Israel propaganda “and even from time to time provided a platform for anti-Semites.”

“We need to monitor, we need to watch it, and we need to make sure that it’s honest and fair,” Foxman said. One example, he said, is that Al Jazeera has “exploited and exaggerated the Arab-Israel conflict in a heavy-handed and propagandistic manner, and always at the expense of Israel.” …

Too late Foxman, you hitched your wagon to the wrong horse and now your fellow lefties have all turned their backs on you. muzzies are now the favored protected class and they want to kill as many Jews as they can - with the government's help.

Better get out front and start campaigning for Palin or DeMint for 2016. Hope you live long enough to make it through these next few years in the sharia States of America.

As a Jew, I’d like to state for the record that Foxman is a useless, bloviating, idiot POS with a crappy PR staff to boot who “speaks for me” just about as much as Al Sharpton does.

My guess is that Al Jazeera might do very well, for one reason; it will be ‘clean’. No andercooper crotch kisses and no avalanche of gay propaganda, both of which are turning off viewers.

If you could sit your kids in front of the TV and be assured of no filth and no gay propaganda I am thinking you would do so.

and then they sneak in the anti-Jewish propaganda.

Lots of women in headscarves speaking for some Ministry Of Women’s Well-Being saying ‘What sexisism?’

That’s my take, here at my Warp Speed Ulta-Insightful Keyboard.

Their like CNN. CNN Europe broadcasting is very anti-American.
Much more so than their US broadcasting.

Yes. Take BBC America, they don’t say the same thing as BBC.

Yeah, this article reminds me of the oft-quote about “and then they came for me, and there was no one to protect me”

PMSNBC is Al tat Jaz’s main competitor. Fighting over that .002 audience share.
