The attacks, made mostly in Internet posts to extremist discussion boards, claim that McCain is a "race traitor" who is controlled by Jews and Jewish interests. Extremists have accused McCain of betraying the white race and failing to defend the perceived interests of a white majority.  They have expressed anger...

One of the guests at the three-day Presidential Conference in Jerusalem, he told Voice of Israel government radio, "Painting Israel as the cause of the nakba [catastrophe] has taken root in the mainstream." Foxman pointed out that both The New York Times and the Washington Post published front-page articles on Israel's Independence Day that focused on Arab suffering as well as Jewish celebrations instead of describing the miracle of the re-establishment of the Jewish state.

(Note, for example, his insistence that Catholics refrain from talking about the Gospel with Jews, an activity that Foxman apparently believes is "proselytizing".)
