Donald Trump has expanded what you are permitted to say publicly and some Jewish groups such as the ADL fear this free speech and want to destroy it. They want to be able to set the boundaries on permitted speech.
These radical anti-goyim groups in this article are not reflective of American Jews as a whole.
Stopping the importation of Muslims is just commonsense. These Jewish non-profits are revealing themselves as a fifth column in our midst. They are traitors. They are enemies of America.
If you found poisonous snakes in your bedroom, who would you hate? The snakes or the people who put them there? These Jewish non-profits want to fill your communities with poisonous snakes.

Racial GOP Rhetoric Propels Jewish Not-For-Profits Into the Fray
The Anti-Defamation League has been at the forefront, with public statements criticizing Trump for singling out Muslims and for accepting support from white supremacists. On Wednesday, ADL added Ted Cruz to the list, issuing a statement in response to Cruz’s call for special police security patrols in Muslim neighborhoods across America. The group described Cruz’s call as an “irrational approach,” which is “misguided and counterproductive.”
“This is a very unusual political season, and what we’re seeing is another aspect of it,” said historian Jonathan Sarna from Brandeis University. “People are torn between the feeling that Jewish institutions should be neutral, and the moral sense that Mr. Trump represents something the Jewish community can’t really accept.”
The ADL’s February 25 press release calling on Trump to distance himself from former Ku Klux Klan chief David Duke and to disavow white supremacist groups garnered national attention after Trump stumbled on national TV when confronted with the question. Trump claimed he did not know of Duke. CNN News host Jake Tapper pressed Trump three times on whether he’d distance himself from the KKK — but Trump never mentioned the group in his answers. “I have to look at the group,” he said, speaking generically about allegedly racist organizations supporting him. “I mean, I don’t know what group you’re talking about. You wouldn’t want me to condemn a group that I know nothing about. I’d have to look. If you would send me a list of the groups, I will do research on them.”
Helpfully, ADL followed up on February 28 with an offer to provide Trump and other candidates with information about hate groups that may get involved in their campaigns. One day later the group issued a list of individuals and groups supporting Trump that it found racist, along with thumbnail summaries of their backgrounds.
ADL’s national director Jonathan Greenblatt, meanwhile, took to the airways with a clear demand that Trump disavow hate groups and make clear he rejects their support.
In an email to the Forward, Greenblatt said his organization has not stepped up its political activity this election cycle. “We are doing what we have always done during the political season, which is speaking out when there are expressions of bigotry or stereotyping of marginalized groups such as immigrants or minorities,” Greenblatt said, “Our founding mission impels us to speak out when there are expressions of racism, prejudice or bigotry from people in public life, whether [or not] those are candidates, and regardless of whether they are Democrats, Republicans or Independents.”
ADL has been the most active in taking on Trump, but other Jewish groups have also weighed in, putting aside stances of strict neutrality to direct strong statements at Trump.
The American Jewish Committee, last November, denounced Trump’s call to create a registry of Muslim Americans, and earlier this month issued a statement condemning violence in the presidential campaign, without mentioning Trump by name.
“AJC is strictly non-partisan. It abstains from taking stands on candidates and is content to let the electoral processes play out,” the group explained in its statement. “But when the process is infected with threats of violence and disruption, it is not a candidate at issue; it is the viability of democracy itself.”
B’nai B’rith International, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, and major religious denominations also spoke out against Trump’s comments on Muslims.
COMMENTS:
* If Donald Trump is elected president I hope that he directs the IRS to take a hard look at the ADL’s tax-exempt status. There should be a price to pay for the feeling of feigned moral righteousness, similar to the warm feeling of urinating in one’s pants. The ADL’s foray into partisan politics should carry a price tag, to use a term that will not be unknown to Forward readers.
* I doubt you’d feel safe even if the entire Congress, the Supreme Court, and the president were all Jews. The Jewish paranoia has a life of its own.
* The article doesn’t mention any actual racist rhetoric by any Republican. Muslims are, for the record, not a race– they are a religion, which is to say that they share a belief system. Is there really nothing in that belief system that might be said to warrant our concern?
* The groups mentioned don’t represent the Jewish People and were not elected by them. Anybody can see the AIPAC rally in which Trump received several standing ovations. Those were Jews clapping. The Forward and their fictitious “Washington Bureau ” may not like that. Too bad. Jews love Trump.
* The ADL started out has a worthy organization. Now it’s just a racket. And the idea that the AJC is non-partisan is another joke. I can do without Muslim rape gangs, terrorist cells, and urban “no go ” zones. But I know that there are other Jews who think that becoming like Belgium will somehow make them feel better about themselves.
* Trump disavowed any white supremacists who may have supported his candidacy as fast as he could. The left refuses to let go of this BS because it serves their narrative. A KKK Dragon yesterday endorsed Hillary Clinton, but everyone knows it is BS – just like the Trump thing.
I was at the AIPAC conference and I saw Trump give a great Pro-Israel speech that touched all the bases. I am disappointed that Lillian Pinkas, the new President of AIPAC, felt the need to admonish the 18,000 delegates for giving Trump so many standing ovations. Treating the AIPAC delegates like 3rd grade kids and spanking their hands only made matters worse, because AIPAC is now going to spend the next year doing damage control over this. My AIPAC director claimed it was because the AIPAC Outreach program to the black community was in danger because the black attendees to racial offense to Trumps criticism of Obama. I told him that sounded like complete BS. It was because the liberal donors were shocked when 85% of the crowd gave Trump a resounding SIX standing ovations.
Ms. Pinkas should have taken personal responsibility for not setting boundaries on the candidate’s speeches. Instead, she blames the membership. I really don’t think she is ready to lead AIPAC through these terribly partisan waters. Opps! Now I will be called anti-woman….
* Trump is not preaching hatred and now is not the time to fight hate groups, after he gets into the white house is the time to do that and I think Trump will do this more than any other candidate. Trump seems to me to be the most honestly in favor of Jews and Israel than any other candidate if his daughter converted to Orthodox Judaism it’s a sign her father was a good Jewish father figure.
