WASHINGTON – Several prominent Jewish leaders in the United States have spoken up against what they called "the growing atmosphere of racism in Israel," as apparent from the controversial loyalty oath bill and the polemic over the possible deportation of foreign workers' children.
Said leaders were especially irked by a recent statement made by Shas' spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, who said that "the Goyim's (non-Jews) sole reason for existing is to serve Jews."
Both Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Director Abraham Foxman and David Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee (AJC), issued statements denouncing the rabbi's words, and both were critical of the fact that no Israeli leader did the same.

Я думаю, что имеется в виду, что никто не стал официально осуждать бред 90-летнего маразматика, не имеющего нынче никаких официальных государственных или общественных должностей, произнесённый им в проповеди перед его паствой....

Раву Овадии недавно стукнуло 90 лет. Он явно и давно в маразме.
На его счету столько замечательных перлов, что в Израиле им просто устали возмущаться и, за исключением его паствы, уже просто пропускают его очередной бред мимо ушей.
Он, например, сравнивал судей израильского Верховного Суда с прокажёнными, объяснял, что Шоа произошла из-за того, что евреи Европы не придерживались религиозных традиций, что ЦАХАЛ несёт потери, потому что солдаты не налагают тфилин, и т.д. и т.п. - без счёту.

Вот основные источники:

Разумеется, они содержат только небольшую часть из того, что напечатано в израильской газете. Откуда взялось всё остальное ("озабоченность и негодование растущей атмосферой расизма в Израиле")- мне установить не удалось:

Может быть, разъяснения последуют позже.

ADL Denounces Ovadia Yosef Remarks As Hateful and Divisive
Jerusalem, Israel, October 19, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today condemned comments made by Rabbi Ovadia Yosef as hateful and divisive, saying they "contribute to an atmosphere of hatred and a global trend of intolerance."
During an October 16 sermon, Rabbi Yosef, spiritual leader of Israel's Shas Party, reportedly said, "Goyim were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Israel …Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat…"
Abraham H, Foxman, ADL National Director, issued the following statement:
It is disturbing to see any religious leader, and particularly Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, use their podium to preach such hateful and divisive ideas. His words echo far beyond the walls of his congregation and contribute to an atmosphere of hatred and a global trend of intolerance.
In a world where bigotry and prejudice are prevalent, it is especially important for religious leaders to use their influence to teach respect and acceptance.
