The NY Post's Phil Mushnick wrote, "Days after the 9/11 attacks, Francesa, global affairs expert (it's a gift), launched two bigoted, backwoods and facts-depraving commentaries blaming both Israel and American Jews for America's peril at the hands of terrorists.
Francesa also said the Jews he knows are disloyal Americans in that they would go to war to defend Israel but not the United States.
In the wake of an attack on the U.S. by Islamic lunatics, Francesa even called upon American Jews to prove their virtue as Americans, to choose between Israel, which he called "a failed experiment," and the U.S."
On September 24, 2001 the Anti-Defamation league sent a letter to the station. As of November 2, 2009 they had not received any reply.
Mark Chernoff, WFAN's program director, claimed that the tapes from the days following 9/11 were accidently erased. Francesa claimed that the station didn't make tapes in 2001. A claim that was later proven false by Bob Mantz, Jr. of Bob's Blitz.
