Looks like Abe Foxman's defense of Jews gets under the skin of antisemites. This means he's doing a good job.

Very little can be done to change This deeply imbedded racism it permeates art literature sculpture And has for centuries but good to Bring it to the worlds attention those Complaining I feel would be the first To complain if directed at another people
8. Shylock
Konrad ,   Warsaw   (07.01.13)
The one and only answer is: ban Shakespeare as an arch-Antisemite!
9. All people should end any acts attributed to silly Shylock!
no-more-shylocking   (07.01.13)
He is a tragic figure. A stereotype of A figure with to many unenlightened anti-social characterics.. All of us should refrain from Shylock type acts. He is the ultimate enemy of humanity. Let us all begin a life without his extremism.
10. Jews have to go after the people who were responsible
k ,   US   (07.01.13)
For publishing it Of course all the anti semites are the biggest cowards on the earth, and they will never show their faces but the Tribune Media Services is responsible unless they can say who was responsible for the crossword puzzle
11. Apologies are for idiots
k ,   US   (07.01.13)
how long do Jews have to take the defamation For years it started with slander, and that led to a genocide All these people will snicker and then apologize to the Jews while laughing at them These people only understand 1 thing, and that is real and painful payback
12. Sad but true
Jewish   (07.01.13)
As a Jew, I agree that this stereotype is becoming more apparent. Everyday Isrealis try to cheat and scam each other. Instead of being offended we should look at ourselves and try to change before its too late.
13. #1 World Citizen
Steve ,   Palm Beach, U.S.A.   (07.02.13)
While I don't agree with World Citizen, I have to agree with him on this one. Foxman is an embarrassment, a Jewish Al Sharpton.
14. Sad but NOT true
Robyn ,   Canasa   (07.02.13)
Not true that your are Jewish #12. Not true that "Israelis thry to cheat and scam each other".Anyone making such a sweeping statement is ignorant,hateful and clearly transperant. The character of 'Shylock" has been one part of an overall libel to harm the Jews.I am sure that you know that, and rejoice in it.
15. Shylock is a true stereotype
