Anne Frank Center slams Trump: ‘Do not make us Jews settle for crumbs of condescension’
Washington Post ^ | February 21, 2017

Posted on 02/21/2017 3:13:19 PM PST by SMGFan

President Trump spoke out Tuesday against anti-Semitic threats, but his words were not enough for the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, whose executive director called the president’s acknowledgment of anti-Semitism a “Band-Aid on the cancer of Antisemitism that has infected his own Administration.”

Of course not. They’re the #1 enemy; not ISIS, not Russia, but the American left.

It’ll take the second coming before these people are satisfied. Oh wait, that didn’t work the first time.

We’re in a fight to the death. The Left is truly evil. They are the worst kind of imaginable people. There is no line they will not cross.

a “Band-Aid on the cancer of Antisemitism that has infected his own Administration.”

This is hilarious enough to be satire. What anti-Semitism has infected Trump's own administration? What has he said or done that could constitute anti-Semitism in the imagination of even the rabid leftist? The man made a strong statement denouncing anti-Jewish crimes today, he has already proven in one month to be the strongest friend and ally Israel has had in the Oval Office in decades, and his own daughter and son-on-law practice the Jewish faith. The Anne Frank Center should be ashamed for indulging in this kind of mindless propaganda.

All his grandchildren are Jewish. This is just another case where Liberal Jews running some organization want to use whatever clout they think they possess to insult and demean Trump.

I have gotten to the point where if they are not Orthodox Jews, I don't give a d@mn what they have to say. I respect the opinions of the orthodox.

seems to me like the only good jews are the jews in Israel. the American jews are practically communists.

Only the "conservative" and "reform" movements. The Orthodox are rational, conservative, and vote Republican. Staten Island went for Bush.

the quoted Ahole does NOT speak for Jewish people, despite his title.
he speaks for commiepinkoleftists
maybe
but not believing Jews.

it is tragic that a few Jewish organizations have managers who abuse their positions to mouth off to the media about their personal political predilictions

the shame thenselves and cause outsiders to disrespect the religious causes they’re supposed to be serving

Nobody cares about the Ann Frank Center. It is irrelevant.

Methinks they’re confusing President Trump with his predecessor who DID treat Jews with condescension!

American Jews are, for the most part, Leftists who don’t give a crap about Jews other than how they can be used politically. I’ll take the word of Benjamin Netanyahu (?) over these American Jews any day and he had very high praise for President Trump and his support of the Jewish people

Steven Goldstein (civil rights activist)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steven Goldstein is Executive Director of the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect, which addresses civil and human rights across America and is the U.S. national organization in the international network of Anne Frank organizations.

Goldstein had been the Executive Director of Garden State Equality, New Jersey’s statewide organization for LGBT equality, from 2004, when he founded the organization,[1] until 2013, when New Jersey allowed same-sex marriage as a result of a court ruling in Garden State Equality v. Dow.[2] From 2013 until he joined the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect in 2016, Goldstein was an associate professor at Rutgers Law School in Newark, New Jersey, and in political science at Rutgers–Newark, where he had previously served as Associate Chancellor for External Affairs.[3]

He taught courses on social justice advocacy, American politics and political communication
.
Goldstein is a lawyer,[4] former television producer,[5] and one-time rabbinical student.[6] He received his B.A. from Brandeis University, an M.P.P. (Master in Public Policy) from the Harvard Kennedy School of Government, an M.S. from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, and his J.D. from Columbia Law School.[7]

Goldstein was co-campaign manager for Jon Corzine for U.S. Senate in New Jersey in 2000. He had previously worked for the U.S. Congress as press secretary to U.S. Senator Frank Lautenberg,[8] and as a counsel to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee working for then-Congressman and now Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer. [9] Goldstein began his career as a television news producer and won 10 Emmy Awards.[10]

Goldstein was played by Steve Carell in the 2015 movie Freeheld, based on the 2008 Academy Award-winning documentary of the same name.
Goldstein, born and raised in New York City, is a resident of Teaneck, New Jersey.[11]
