Head of the Anti-Defamation League, Abraham Foxman, said that the Goldstone Commission report puts Israel and the Jewish people in tangible danger. Speaking before the League Presidency in New York, Foxman wondered how a respected and independent judge like Goldstone accepted the role assigned by the UN's Human Rights Council. Foxman called on Goldstone to repudiate his report.

"I am convinced," said Foxman, "that if you meant to soften the criticism against Israel, by also accusing the Hamas of war crimes, then you are nothing but terribly naive."
