    Default How Jews have reacted to Trump’s tweet targeting some Democratic congresswomen

    Jonathan Greenblatt, the national director of the Anti-Defamation League, called the comments “flat-out racist” and “xenophobic.” He also criticized Trump for “using Israel to defend his blatant racism.”

    Abraham Foxman, the former longtime director of the ADL, called the tweet “one of the oldest xenophobic prejudiced comments expressed by bigots in our country.”

    The American Jewish Committee praised diversity in response to Trump’s comments. “Surely we can have policy debates in this country without resorting to potshots at our opponents’ identities or origins,” the organization said.

    The Simon Wiesenthal Center said “Every American came from somewhere. Time for everyone in #WashingtonDC to drop the identity politics #racism.”

    Bend the Arc: Jewish Action called Trump “a racist and white supremacist” and criticized Republicans for not condemning the remarks.

    Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., called the comments “racist and hateful.”

    “Telling a group of American women of color to go back to their country is fundamentally un-American,” she wrote on Twitter.

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.

    What makes them credible? Just two more left wingers that happen to be misguided Jews running their dick suckers.

    The Jewish people in this country are keenly aware what happened in the mid 20th century in Europe, and the Jewish people are smart enough to know where hate can take us. As a non Jew myself, I applaud the Jewish people, for their wisdom.
