ADL: Ahmadinejad's UN speech put his anti-Semitism on full display

By JPOST.COM STAFF
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's speech to the United Nations General Assembly put his anti-Semitism on full display, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said overnight Tuesday, adding that his remarks showed the true threat that the Iranian regime poses to the West. "Ahmadinejad has once again shown to the world the true threat the Iranian regime poses to Israel, the United States and the West," ADL National Director Abraham H. Foxman said in a statement. "It is clear that Ahmadinejad is deeply infected with anti-Semitism. His statements accusing Jews of dominating and controlling finance and government in the United States and Europe, and of working as a cabal to foment conflict around the world, echo the most infamous passages of the 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion.' These ideas are classic anti-Semitism by any measure, and President Ahmadinejad has put it on full display for the entire world to see," continued Foxman.
