Trump’s continued false accusations of anti-semitism are not and never have been in service of Jews
“Trump’s accusations of “dual-loyalty” — a centuries-old antisemitic charge against Jews beginning in Christian Europe– with regard to the American Jewish community and the Democratic party are appalling.

“We are in awe of Rep. Tlaib’s courage and stand by her. It’s heartbreaking that Rashida had to spend this evening with us instead of her beloved family. And it’s enraging that the Israeli government would hold a Member of Congress’s family hostage unless she agrees to censor herself. For as long as it’s existed, the Israeli government has forced these kinds of heart wrenching and impossible choices on Palestinians.

We are in awe of Rep. Tlaib’s courage and stand by her.”
