Abraham Foxman, the Anti-Defamation League's national director, fired back at Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader on Friday in what has become an ongoing sparring match over Nader's assertion that Israel and American Jews are "puppeteers" who control Congress and the White House.
Foxman replied to a letter from Nader, in which the candidate stood by his original assertion. Nader's August 5 letter to Foxman said, "The Israelis have a joke for the obvious – that the United States is the second state of Israel."
"How often, if ever, has the United States – either the Congress of the White House – pursued a course of action, since 1956, that contradicted the Israeli government's position?"
Foxman wrote in reply: "I was disappointed to read your letter of August 5 because it merely confirmed my concerns about your original comments Rather than allay our concerns, your letter only furthers conspiracy theories about Jews and borders on bigotry."
Foxman said Nader had ignored the fact that "there are many examples of US disagreement with Israeli policies." And he described Nader's accusation about Jewish power as "false and offensive." Nader is so far only on fewer than a dozen states' ballots in the November election.
