ADL national director Abraham H. Foxman commented on certain issues saying, “For much of the year there was a glimmer of hope that the Israeli-Palestinian peace process would finally get off the ground, and yet our hopes diminished with each passing week as the parties failed to reach a consensus and the settlements issue became a major excuse for the Palestinians.
“Meanwhile, the unrelenting global assault against Israel’s legitimacy continued apace, with calls for divestment and sanctions against the Jewish state and efforts to undermine Israel’s credibility in international forums and at the United Nations.”
