Which Party Cares About Anti-Semitism?

Hat tip Amcha Initiative


Yesterday, 8 members of Congress, all Republicans, sent a letter to Secretary of Education Betty DeVos alerting her that many university Middle East departments are misusing their Title VI funding by trying to implement an academic boycott of Israel. Below is a message I received from the Amcha Initiative.

Comment: The Amcha Initiative is non-partisan and made no editorial comment on the fact that all 8 members who signed the letter were Republicans., They merely listed their names (with the customary R/D-state designation). They made no editorial comment on the fact that one of those members attempted to introduce an amendment on the issue, but that it was voted down along party lines. Being a non-partisan organization concerned with a particular issue-campus anti-Semitism- that is entirely proper on their part.

Though I am not a member of either party, I will take the liberty of pointing out that all the referenced members of Congress were Republicans and that it was the committee Democrat majority who voted down an amendment.

I hope that American Jews are taking notice of these developments-especially those who support the Democrat party and attack President Trump (and in some cases call him an anti-Semite).

Which party supports Israel and which party is split?

Which party is taking the lead on campus anti-Semitism and which party either supports the Palestinians or is afraid to anger them?

Which party do Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Keith Ellison belong to?

Which president signed an executive order demanding that universities protect their Jewish students?

I honestly feel that more and more Democrats (just like more and more Hispanics and blacks) are changing their minds about which party is taking action to make their lives better and safer vs which party just talks, promises and does nothing.
