    We went a long way from this:

    despite the fact that Hamas, Hezbollah, al-Qaida, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Iranian regime purport to speak in the name of Islam, and commit to end Israel’s existence and to the destruction of the Jewish people – when religious bigotry rears its ugly head against Muslims, we must speak out.

    (A quote from an opinion piece by Foxman) to this:

    “Why can’t good people see the truth?” said Foxman. “The protesters are not for freedom of speech. They are for hate speech. They are not for peace. They are for destroying Israel.”

    Obviously it’s only okay to speak out against bigotry against Muslims when it’s not Israel that’s perpetrating it, and it’s only okay to speak out against Genocide when it’s not Israel committing it.
