This is what happens when Jews get made at you: out your are!!
2011 letter of criticism by rabbis; responses
In January 2011, an open letter printed in the
Wall Street Journal on the UN-designated Holocaust Remembrance Day from 400 rabbis, including leaders from various branches of Judaism in the US, called on
Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp, to sanction Fox News commentator
Glenn Beck for his use of the Holocaust to "discredit any individual or organization you disagree with."
[31] An executive at Fox News rejected the letter, calling it the work of a "
George Soros-backed leftwing political organization."
[31] Ailes is also said to have once referred to Jewish critics of his as "left-wing rabbis."
[32] Also in 2011, Ailes was criticized for referring to executives of the public radio network
NPR as "
Nazis" for sacking a news analyst,
Juan Williams, after Williams had made remarks considered by NPR to be offensive. Ailes apologized to a Jewish group for using the expression, although not to NPR, writing to the
Anti-Defamation League (ADL): "“I was of course ad-libbing and should not have chosen that word, but I was angry at the time because of NPR’s willingness to censor Juan Williams for not being liberal enough.... My now considered opinion 'nasty, inflexible bigot' would have worked better.”
[33] The
ADL accepted the apology through their National Director,
Abraham Foxman, who said in a press release: "I welcome Roger Ailes apology, which is as sincere as it is heartfelt. Nazi comparisons of this nature are clearly inappropriate and offensive. While I wish Roger had never invoked that terminology, I appreciate his efforts to immediately reach out and to retract his words before they did any further harm."
[34] In a subsequent letter to
The Wall Street Journal, Foxman credited both Ailes, and Beck, as "pro-Israel stalwarts."
