Israel continues to live under an existential cloud, antisemitism is resurgent worldwide, a major American Muslim group is abusing the courts to stifle criticism, and this is what the most powerful American Jewish groups decide to hold a meeting over? Good grief.
Washington Times: Jewish leaders to devise strategy
Led by Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), and Rabbi Eric Yoffie, president of the Union for Reform Judaism, the private meeting is set for today, said an assistant to Mr. Yoffie.
Both men were unavailable for comment Friday, and neither organization would divulge details of the meeting, including who else is attending and where it is being held.
But the meeting is the culmination of a month of attacks by Mr. Foxman and Mr. Yoffie on conservative Christian groups, starting with Mr. Foxman's speech Nov. 3 at an ADL function in New York.
"We face a better-financed, more sophisticated, coordinated, unified, energized and organized coalition of groups in opposition to our policy positions on church-state separation than ever before," he said. "Their goal is to implement their Christian worldview. To Christianize America. To save us."
The horror.
