“Her views came out of the political and cultural environment she was in at the time,” said Abraham H. Foxman, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League. “But that’s in the past. She’s matured and moved on, and I look forward to working with her at the U.N.”

I don't see the word "cool" in the article .

Are you attempting to alter articles of record ?

I wonder if one of our commenter here who has mentioned being a member of ZOA has anything to say about her or the OP itself?

here is what she said that apparently upsets some folks

Mr. Oren’s comments could quell the lingering effects of comments that Ms. Power made before entering government about American policy toward Israel. Among other things, she said the United States would need to make a “mammoth” commitment to secure a Palestinian state — a move that could mean alienating American Jews, a group she described as having “tremendous political and financial import.”


The Republican Jewish Coalition and the Zionist Organization of America expressed their opposition to Ms. Power. In a statement, Morton A. Klein, the national president of the Zionist Organization, said, “Ms. Power’s record clearly shows she is viscerally hostile to Israel.”

and the word "cool" was quite obviously an editorial comment at least to anyone not looking for what's not there

With no delineation of what's in the original article and what was added by the poster?

In my work a person would lose their job or position for less.
