Everybody’s Mad at Abe
J.J. Goldberg August 1, 2010
Boy, people are really steamed at Abe Foxman right now. The left wants his head for coming out against Cordoba House, the proposed Muslim community center near Ground Zero.
The right, on the other hand, is enraged over his acceptance of Oliver Stone’s apology for his London Times interview.
There’s a lot to deconstruct here, but given the hour, I’ll get back to it after I can make some phone calls.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and the protests on college campuses.
