Forward – Abraham Foxman said Russell Simmon’s likening of the Anti-Defamation League’s national director to Louis Farrakhan was “outrageous and ugly.”
Simmons, appearing in Jerusalem at this week’s Israel Presidential Conference with his Foundation for Ethnic Understanding co-founder Rabbi Marc Schneier, defended his friendship with the Nation of Islam leader by saying that just as Farrakhan had alienated Jews, Foxman had alienated African Americans.
