Charles Featherstone recently pointed out the absurdity of ADL leader Abraham Foxman's asinine comment that:

“Survivors of the Holocaust are entitled to feelings that are irrational,” [Foxman] said. Referring to the loved ones of Sept. 11 victims, he said, “Their anguish entitles them to positions that others would categorize as irrational or bigoted.”

Taking it to it's logical (not for Foxman, since logic and reason said 'Bye-Bye' to him long ago) conclusion, Featherstone asks:

Are Palestinians who have lost loved ones to Israeli bullets and bombs entitled to “irrational and bigoted” opinions? Are Lebanese? How about all those who have suffered at the hands of the United States, or have lost loved ones to American bullets and bombs? Are they all entitled to “irrational and bigoted” opinions because of their “anguish?”

I think this was a rare miss by Mr. Featherstone.  Not because his arguments were unsound.  It was because he must have not known about this little fact (actually more like 59 big facts and their families) that destroys Foxmans argument so fully and completely, using his own 'reasoning' even without having to come up with hypotheticals.

Are the loved ones of Muslim victims of 9/11 entitled to irrational or bigoted positions?  I didn't think so.  Hey Foxman, STFU.
