    LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition kicked off Wednesday amid speculation that more Jews could vote for former President Donald Trump over concerns about Israel and antisemitism. The gathering, which typically draws hundreds of donors and activists, as well as politicians and candidates, is being held in September this year, rather than in the winter, to have the biggest possible impact at the start of the fall campaign season. American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, and align themselves with the political left. (Jews in other countries, including Israel, tend to favor...

    President Trump elicited cheers Saturday at a Republican Jewish Coalition conference for recognizing Israel’s claim to the Golan Heights and moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. The president also played to the crowd by mentioning the name of Muslim Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar, which drew loud boos from the audience in Las Vegas, Nevada. “Special thanks to Representative Omar of Minnesota,” the president said tongue-in-cheek. As the booing cascaded in the venue, Mr. Trump added, “Oh, I forgot. She doesn’t like Israel. I forgot. I’m so sorry.” Mr. Trump told the crowd that Republicans are taking a stronger stand than...

He didn't exactly answer the quarstion...

    GOP presidential hopeful tells Jewish activists Wednesday attack, in which 14 killed, underscores 'we are at a time of war' WASHINGTON (AP) - Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz opened a meeting of Jewish activists on Thursday with a moment of silence for the California shooting victims and said he was worried that the attack was an act of “Islamic terrorism.” “All of us are deeply concerned that this is yet another manifestation of terrorism, radical Islamic terrorism here at home,” the Texas senator told the meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition. Investigators have not yet identified a specific motive for...
  • Sheldon Adelson: I Stand With President Obama on Bombing Syria (Gingrich/GOP Donor)

    The debate over whether to bomb Syrian military facilities and weapons installations is creating some strange bedfellows. Among them: President Obama and Las Vegas casino mogul Sheldon Adelson. On Tuesday, the Republican Jewish Coalition, which counts Adelson as a donor and a board member, told its members to urge Congress to authorize a strike in Syria. A spokesman for Adelson, a top backer of pro-Israel causes, told Bloomberg News that the gambling mogul supported the coalition's position—and thus Obama's—on Syria. Obama and Adelson are far from ideological allies. Adelson reportedly spent upwards of $150 million, in disclosed and dark money,...
