Pinch Sulzberger is an Episcopalian who loudly rejects his Jewish heritage. By the way, I went to high school with Pinch. If he hadn't inherited his job, he wouldn't have gotten as far in journalism as Jimmy Olsen. The New York Times is not “Jewish owned”.

I don't necessarily agree with everything the ADL thinks is worthy of its attention, but there will always be antisemites to chastise. Nor is that just a Jewish concern, because the experience of the 20th Century, at least, shows that those who are most hostile to the Jews are pretty horrible to everybody else too. Non-Jews condone antisemitism at their own peril, as the French are likely to learn in the near future.

I didn't think so. “It’s tempting to compare Abe Foxman with Al Sharpton…”

Really? I didn’t think so.

And there’s a lot more where that came from.
