He's not a coward. He knows exactly what he is doing.
He knows what he's doing, alright. He runs the ADL as his personal progressive movement. He spends far more time promoting his Leftist agenda than he does protecting Jews. But, of course, the Jewish establishment has always diverted its focus from Jews. Kahane (zt"l) was right.
Foxman has turned on his people too many times for me to overlook. In fact, once is enough. The list of betrayals is long, but a relatively recent one is warning American Jews to avoid criticizing the POTUS. He claimed that if American Jews "upset" President Obama, he might be really bad toward Israel in a second term. Really, Abe? He also played a disgraceful role in arranging the presidential pardon for Marc Rich, while Pollard languished in prison.
Now if he isn't a classic court Jew, I don't know who is.
