Anti Defamation League demands Occupy Wall Street loons condemn Anti-Semitic remarks made at their rallies

democrat-logoHey, good luck there Abraham Foxman and liberal biased Anti Defamation League National Director. After being endorsed by skinheads and the American Nazi Party, I doubt Foxman’s crying for Occupy Wall Street to condemn the numerous incidents of Anti-Semitic crap spewed at their rallies. The media has of course ignored the anti-Semitism, they will ignore Foxman, and the ADL wouldn’t push for it beyond tonight’s statement. Abraham Foxman’s statement reads as follows:

We are seeing some individuals holding anti-Semitic signs at the “Occupy Wall Street” rallies, and some videos posted on YouTube from the rallies have shown individuals expressing classic anti-Semitic beliefs such as “Jews control the banks” and “Jews control Wall Street.” While we believe that these expressions are not representative of the larger views of the OWS movement, it is still critical for organizers, participants and supporters of these rallies to condemn such bigoted statements clearly and forcefully.

There is no evidence that these anti-Semitic conspiracy theories are representative of the larger movement or that they are gaining traction with other participants. However, history demonstrates time and again how economic downturns can embolden anti-Semites to spread malicious conspiracy theories and promote stereotypes about Jews and money. As a consequence, these statements must not be left unchallenged.
