""Al-Jazeera has
a troubling record and history that is very disturbing, particularly in its
Arabic language broadcasts," said Abe Foxman, head of the Anti-Defamation
League, said in a statement from the organization on Friday.
"It has
exploited and exaggerated the Arab-Israel conflict in a heavy-handed and
propagandistic manner, and always at the expense of Israel, while giving all
manner of virulent anti-Israel and even anti-Semitic extremists access to its
airwaves."Malcolm Hoenlein, executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents, agreed.
"Their general coverage has served to destabilize regimes and favour some of the more extremist elements in the Arab world," he said." (thanks AK)
