3. doesn´t Mr. Abe have anything better to do ?

4. adl disturbingly immature

ADL is insulting the memory of "those who died in the Holocaust, the survivors, and those who fought against the Nazis" by suggesting that they would have cared.
5. Who Supports the ADL?
Thomas   (07.29.08)
Seriously, I've asked at family get-togethers and no one supports this group. No wonder Foxman's kids didn't marry Jewish people. The've heard their whole lives only about anti-Semitism, which gives an unrealistic portrait of the world and being Jewish in it. Yes, 450,000 British were killed by Germany. I'm sure they well raise the issue without the ADL to remind them.
6. Abraham Foxman: "Le ADL, c'est moi."
Jake   (07.29.08)
Sometimes I get the impression that the ADL is one-man organization, whose entire declarations are a series of monologues. This guy has allocated to himself absolute power, yet appears to be living in some kind of bubble, totally disjointed from the rest of the Jewish world. This guy goes beserk over one knitting book with Hitler's image on it. Yet, you can walk into any Barnes and Nobles and see several copies of 'Mein Kampf' clearly displayed in the World History section.
7. As a knitter, I wouldn't be in the slightest bit
Tricot ,   UK   (07.30.08)
interested in knitting a hitler, Saddam or a Pol Pot (apparently these are in the book too along with Idi Amin too). In fact, I can't really imagine this book is going to a best seller for knitters anyway which may be why the publishers hyped the hitler doll in the first place.
8. EXTREMELY INSENSATIVE & IN VERY POOR TASTE, HATEFUL
dp ,   sf, usa   (07.31.08)
I wonder what inspired her to knit, sexual repression?
9. My people are going nuts
Kev ,   London   (07.31.08)
I think that the left wing's insistence on accepting Islam at all levels means that they're taking frustrations out on the Jewish people. Freakin weird. I'm VERY embarrassed.
10. Mindlessness rather than purposefully upsetting millions!
