Glenn Beck roused the National Rifle Association’s annual convention this weekend with his attacks on New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but he also received criticism by a major Jewish group for depicting the mayor giving a Nazi salute.

The head of the Anti-Defamation League called Beck’s comments “deeply offensive on so many levels,” and B’nai B’rith called for Beck to apologize.
