Ex-ADL Chief Abe Foxman Compares Anonymous Internet Antisemites To Ku Klux Klan With Hoods
"
In a recent interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Abe Foxman — the former head of the Jewish supremacist organization the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith — laid the blame for the alleged increase in antisemitism worldwide on the free internet — and believes that eliminating user anonymity would go a long way in deterring anyone from expressing their true feelings about Jews in the future:
Interview excerpt:
"
We know we can’t eliminate [antisemitism]. And so we built a firewall and all kinds of responses. That firewall is dissipating. But I still think anti-Semitism probably unifies the Jewish community more than anything else, even during this period of polarization.
…But we also live in a society today where there is very little civility. The internet destroyed privacy, and it’s on its way to destroying civility. So under those circumstances, it’s going to take a lot of work to get us together. But as I said, unfortunately or fortunately, crises do it for us…
Once we professionals dealing with the issue of anti-Semitism realized that there is no antidote, there is no vaccine, then how do you contain it?
There are a lot of elements to it. We did build a civil consensus that it’s un-American, immoral, unacceptable to be anti-Semitic. In American society, we built a system in which there were consequences. Yes, you could be an anti-Semite. But if you’re an anti-Semite, whether it’s in politics or entertainment, at the end of the day, you pay a price.
The fight against anti-Semitism was bipartisan. We used the media to tell the truth: anti-Semitism is the big lie. And so how do you fight the big lie? You tell the truth. We fought it through education. It’s a long-term, slow process, education, but we use the media to educate.
So that worked for us. We did legislation, we did litigation and we used the truth. We used the truth to fight the big lie.
Now, a lot of that today is done. The coalitions don’t exist like they did before. There is tribalism more today than there ever was before. There is no consensus on civility anymore. We destroyed all taboos.
It used to be that you don’t say certain things. Yeah, you’re allowed to, the First Amendment lets you say anything you want. But there was a consensus on certain taboos, and those taboos are gone.
The media is no longer the element of communicating truth. There is no truth. So even those vehicles that we used to expose the lie, to educate on the truth, are gone.
For a while, at least ideologically, we thought that the establishment of Israel would do away with anti-Semitism. Ironically, Israel’s become a platform to legitimize anti-Semitism. As someone said, Israel has become the Jew amongst the nations…
I would even say that the memory of the Holocaust, which worked for so many years, is also gone. Look at the statistics of our new generations, how ignorant they are of Holocaust, of Auschwitz, of the 6 million. The idea that anti-Semitism can bring us to the Holocaust, for awhile, worked in terms of building this containment. But if you don’t know what the Holocaust is all about, so what?
I’m convinced we need to build a new firewall. We need to develop a whole series of containment. Hopefully we’ll get a vaccine for the coronavirus. We’re not going to get a vaccine against anti-Semitism or hate. If we did not create a vaccine after Auschwitz, after the world saw what hate did in Auschwitz, we’re not going to get one now. So we need to find other ways to deal with it.
…What is the most recent significant change in the world of anti-Semitism? It happened half a century ago: the Vatican’s policy on nostra aetate. Throughout history, at least in modern civilization, the greatest threat to Jewish life was the anti-Semitism spewed by Christianity coming from the deicide charge.
That, for 2,000 years, was the basis for the worst of anti-Semitism. So that was the most major change in recent times, when we were “forgiven,” I guess, or whatever. So that’s a very important positive change.

So there you have it — number one on Jewry’s wish list is to eliminate internet anonymity so that Jews can be free to once again economically and socially punish anyone who criticizes Jews or reveals their nation-wrecking agenda to the world.
