agnostic on Foxman

but not on this:

" (ADL) It has long since stopped advocating against intolerance, bigotry, and hatred and instead has been a major promoter of Jewish ethnocentrism and exceptionalism. The result has been to give credence to those who espouse some of the worst forms of racism and chauvinism."

There is nothign wrong with ethnocentrism if it doesn't blind us to the ethnocentric claims of other ethnos.

As for exceptionalism, if the Jewish people are not an exception in this world then the word has no meaning.

However, neither ethnocentrism nor exceptionalism should in itself he held responsible for "some of the worst forms of racism and chauvinism."

Most groups are ethnocentric including the Armenians yet they are not held responsible for racism.
