The Newsmax website reports today (September 19, 2010) that the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has called on Time magazine to apologize for a cover story the ADL asserts was predicated on the "isidious subtext" of Jews being obsessed with money.
The cover of Time's September 13 issue features a Star of David with these words inside it: "Why Israel Doesn't Care About Peace."
ADL National Director Abraham Foxman said, "The Jewish community and others are outraged at the implication that Israelis care more about money than a future of peace and security."
In a letter to Managing Editor Richard Stengel, the ADL called on the magazine's editors to issue an apology to readers both for the timing of the article and its evocation of anti-Semitic stereotypes about Jews and money. (The timing refers to the Jewish Holidays currently being observed, as well as the current peace talks being held between Israel and the Palestinians.)
