An array of Jewish groups, including the activist arm of the Reform movement, has attacked the likely incoming Republican House speaker, Kevin McCarthy, for pledging to remove Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee over past comments he has called antisemitic.

The tone of the statement released Monday was unusually combative for Jewish nonprofits, insinuating that McCarthy came closer to expressing antisemitism than Omar did.

“As Jewish American organizations, we oppose House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy’s pledge to strip Representative Ilhan Omar of her House Foreign Affairs Committee seat based on false accusations that she is antisemitic or anti-Israel,” said the statement. “We may not agree with some of Congresswoman Omar’s opinions, but we categorically reject the suggestion that any of her policy positions or statements merit disqualification from her role on the committee.”

Committee memberships should be limited to sentient beings.

They are simply the left of Israel. They want traditional Israel to go away just like the left wants the USA to go away.

We too have our religious traitors, KAPOS, Soros tools and dumb asses like those in the Reform Movement and the traitorous J Street group.

Many of them cannot be trusted to protect sane Jews or even the security of Israel and the United States.

As An American of Jewish heritage/religion who has been professionally writing about these fools and traitors, often for Jewish publications, since June 1970, I condemn these groups as “existential threats” to American and Israeli Jews, among other Jews around the world, as well as to America itself.

So called liberal American Jews embrace the liberal death wish more than other group. I was told it is due to virtue hubris. These people believe no matter radically leftist their public views are there will never be any damaging blow back and they can spend their lives basking in the warm glow of their virtue signalling. Real attitudes might be a bit different.

The late Bennett Cerf, a card carrying Jewish liberal once answered privately that the purpose government welfare programs was to keep the Nwords from Harlem from plundering, looting and murdering the wealthy of the Upper West Side. His wife was mugged downtown and had the big diamond she always wore on a chain around her neck snatched while several youts slapped her around, so the man knew what he was talking about.

The very same types that formed the Jews for Hitler clubs in 1936 Germany.
