“We are shocked and stunned at the Administration’s tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem<\/strong>,” ADL director Abraham Foxman said in a statement. “We cannot remember an instance when such harsh language was directed at a friend and ally of the United States<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Maybe you can’t remember one, Abe, because “friends” of the United States typically don’t pull fuck-you moves like that on our Vice Presidents.<\/p>\n

The fact is, the US was making a good-faith effort to broker peace between Israel and the Palestinian people, and the Israeli government expressed its gratitude by doubling-down on a reckless, aggressive policy that every US president since Jimmy Carter has opposed.<\/a> But how dare anyone criticize Israel for it.<\/p>\n

The ADL has officially become as relevant as the Catholic League.<\/p>\n

Heckuva job, Abe<\/a>.<\/p>\n
