Abe Foxman, longtime ADL director and anti-hate advocate, dies at 86

Abraham H. Foxman, a prominent advocate for American Jews and the national director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for nearly three decades, has passed away at the age of 86. Foxman, who led the ADL from 1987 until his retirement in 2015, was known for confronting antisemitism and hate speech globally. He survived the Holocaust as a child and dedicated his career to fighting prejudice, though his approach sometimes drew criticism for being either too reactive or too forgiving of perceived slights.
