The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) published its annual list of top issues affecting Jews in 2010 on Monday.
Among the top issues were the threat posed by radical Islamic terrorism, Iran’s nuclear ambitions, the fallout from the Gaza flotilla affair, and the efforts to delegitimize Israel, and Middle East peace process.
ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman commented on certain issues saying, “For much of the year there was a glimmer of hope that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process would finally get off the ground, and yet our hopes diminished with each passing week as the parties failed to reach a consensus and the settlements issue became a major excuse for the Palestinians.
“Meanwhile, the unrelenting global assault against Israel’s legitimacy continued apace, with calls for divestment and sanctions against the Jewish state and efforts to undermine Israel’s credibility in international forums and at the United Nations.”
ADL’s Top Issues affecting Jews:
* Mideast Peace Process Drags On
* Despite Stronger Sanctions, Iran Defiant
* Anti-Semitism Still A Potent Force
* Israel Delegitimization Continued Apace
* Jews Targeted for Terror
* Midterm Elections Shake Up Washington
* Human Rights Scorecard Mixed
* Flotilla Affair Sparks Backlash
* Catholic-Jewish Relations Tested
* Bullies & Anti-Semites Proliferate Online
The peace process will drag out because Muslims do not have a rightfull claim to Jewish land. Yet their interpretation of Koran tells them that they do. The dream of Umah/ islamic nations fuel Jihadist’s ideas. Unless moderate Muslims work on updating Koran’s interpretation and changing islamic ideology nothing will change. I started a moderate muslim speaks up blog and I receive lude comments from Muslims almost daily.Change faces opposition and challenges but it is necessary.
As Abe a holocaust survivor himself astutely points out at the top of his list “The Israeli Peace Process”. (drags out)
Abes problem with the peace process dragging out, is that ADL supports “Peace Talks for Land” and a two state solution! Hence he fingers its not “finishing” properly (ie: Israel finish up and give the Arab Terrorists Jewish land) So then this is a cause for continued anti-Semitism.
The Rebbe postulates differently than Abe Foxman and tells us that the Talks themselves are causing terror! (and anti-semitism, anti-apartheid week, picketing of stores selling Israeli products and on.) Raanan
aohh so sad!!!!

this is WAY to obvious information…unfortanately

Enlightening as well as shocking… How many people wracked their brains to come up with this list? And for how long?How much were they paid?
