A federal judge in New York has ordered billionaire casino magnate Sheldon Adelson to pay compensatory damages and legal fees to the National Jewish Democratic Council for using “legal sadism” to disband the organization. The NJDC now exists in name only as it works to recover its debts from its legal battle with Adelson that began in 2012. […] Adelson had sued the National Jewish Democratic Council in 2012 over an online petition alleging that the major Republican donor allowed prostitution at his casino in Macau. The petition included a hyperlink to an Associated Press article carrying allegations against Adelson....

Jewish Democrats are very upset with Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee after he compared the nuclear deal with Iran to “marching [Israel] to the door of the oven.” Following Huckabee’s comments, Representative for Florida and head of the Democratic National Committee Deborah Wasserman-Schultz called on him to apologize for what she called “cavalier analogies” to Nazi death camps. “This rhetoric, while commonplace in today’s Republican presidential primary, has no place in American politics,” she said. The National Jewish Democratic Council said in a statement, “Republicans have fallen over themselves to speak out against Donald Trump’s outrageous rhetoric on immigration and...

Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as vice presidential candidate shows that the Republic presumptive nominee for president does not reflect the values of U.S. Jews, a statement by the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) said on Sunday. On Sunday, the NJDC released a statement in response to Romney's pick of Ryan, saying the moves was the clearest indication yet that Romney does not reflect the values of most American Jews." "Ryan's signature budget plan drew the profound concern and even ire of many in the American Jewish community because of its plans to end Medicare as we know it,...

This year the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) has published a new version of the “Four Questions” traditionally recited at the Passover seder. Instead of commemorating the liberation of the Jews from Egypt, the NJDC has chosen to take this opportunity to hail, what they see as, the achievements of President Barack Obama. As Commentary Magazine’s Jonathan Tobin poignantly notes, “One of the most disturbing aspects of modern American Jewish life is the almost obsessive desire of many Jews to universalize every aspect of Jewish belief while downplaying the original meanings of customs and ritual.” Following a video of President...

To: David A. Harris, National Jewish Democratic Council Posted: IsraPundit Dear Mr. Harris, The National Jewish Democratic Council has espoused Barack Obama’s purported commitment to the security of Israel (e.g. “Israel Protecting Ashdod with Obama Administration-Funded Iron Dome Battery”). The Zionist Organization of America expressed outrage today, however, that Mr. Obama omitted Israel from a list of nations that are being victimized by terroristic violence. ZOA cites in turn “White House Issues Guides on Sept. 11 Observances” which quotes the Obama administration as follows: “As we commemorate the citizens of over 90 countries who perished in the 9/11 attacks, we...

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) recently announced that Barack Obama has named its former executive director, Ira Forman, as his Jewish outreach director. Mr. Forman's tenure at NJDC includes the publication of anti-Christian hate material under color of Judaism, which could easily evoke reciprocal ill feelings from Christians who do not realize that NJDC has almost as little to do with Judaism as the Westboro Baptist Church has to do with Christianity. ...Double standards are routine to NJDC and Mr. Forman, who in 2007 condemned Mitt Romney for appearing at the Henry Ford Museum. "Mitt Romney's embrace of Henry...

In picking a Jewish outreach coordinator for his re-election campaign, Barack Obama tapped the man who literally wrote the book on Jews in politics (actually, an anthology of Jewish politicians), Ira Forman.

The National "Jewish" Democratic Council obviously had a chance to re-think "Bachmann “Does Not Hesitate” to Sign Offensive Pledge," as shown by its update of this entry a few days ago. The fact that the posting reaffirms the group's support for the implementation of Sharia in the United States demonstrates that the original was not a mistake or misstatement, and that NJDC really does support this repugnant agenda along with the "right" of Islamic fundamentalists to batter or even kill women. Bachmann “Does Not Hesitate” to Sign Offensive Pledge **UPDATED** Ariela Fleisig — July 8, 2011 – 4:38 pm |...

If Michelle Bachman is against it, NJDC is for it—no matter how loathsome. Bachmann “Does Not Hesitate” to Sign Offensive Pledge by Ariela Fleisig reinforces our long-held belief that the National Jewish Democratic Council has no decency, character, or honor whatsoever. It is now on record as supporting Sharia, single-family parenting (as desirable as opposed to an unfortunate necessity that might be caused by loss of a parent), and even violence against women because Michelle Bachmann signed a pledge that opposes these things.Fleisig opens her article as follows. We have highlighted the key part. Presidential candidate Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN)...

[National "Jewish" Democratic Council goes on record as supporting Sharia and misogyny, and opposing the First Amendment.] Presidential candidate Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) signed a highly offensive pledge advanced by the Iowa social conservative group The Family Leader. The pledge insensitively compares childrearing by single parents and same-sex couples to slavery, declares homosexuality a public health risk and compares it to polygamy, polyandry, and adultery, rejects a woman’s right to make decisions about her health, and continues the right wing’s incorrect straw-man argument against Islam. Nearly every point in the pledge conflicts with the values of most American Jews, who...

NJDC applauds President Obama’s Restatement of Unwavering Support for Israel at AIPAC... “Yet with all that this President has done to aid Israel and live up to the generation’s old commitment our country has to the Jewish state, the President’s political enemies do a disservice to our relationship with Israel by fear mongering, spreading half-truths and allowing false statements to go uncorrected. They foment fear and conspiratorial thoughts within our community and drive media reports around the world which cast a doubt on the most significant and important truth about America’s relationship with Israel: This President and the United States...

Abraham Foxman, Democratic Party Judas Goat, puts Obama's Re-election Above ADL's MissionNational Jewish Democratic Council (National Judenrat Democratic Kapos) Join in WhitewashA Judas goat is a tame animal whose function is to lead other herd animals into a meat packing factory to be "processed." A Judas goat has no choice but ADL's Abraham Foxman and the NJDC's David A. Harris and Marc R. Stanley are in contrast shameless political prostitutes who place the well-being of the Democratic Party above that of the United States, its allies, and even the Jews they claim to represent. We have four words for you,...

David A. Harris — May 20, 2011 Seeing the coverage of yesterday’s major address by President Barack Obama, it was like there were two speeches; the one he actually gave, and the one that some were reacting to. It’s essential to know what he said, and what he didn’t. It’s laughable to suggest that President Obama insisted Israel return to 1967 lines, or that he said anything different from the policies of Presidents Bush and Clinton before him.

The National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC) today praised President Barack Obama’s powerful address at the State Department this afternoon, including his strong support for Israel and the pragmatic approach he put forth to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. NJDC Chair Marc R. Stanley and President and CEO David A. Harris said: ‘NJDC is deeply grateful for the unwavering support for Israel shown today by President Barack Obama in this major speech, and the incredibly pragmatic, supportive steps forward he offered to address a decades-old problem facing our closest ally in the Middle East— Israel.

To njdc "at" njdc.org; nynjdc "at" njdc.org To: National Jewish Democratic Council Copied to pro-Israel blog and conservative Web sites Gentlemen, The National Jewish Democratic Council is on record (http://www.njdc.org/media/entry/njdc_decries_mitt_romneys_embrace_of_henry_ford) as condemning Mitt Romney’s appearance at the Henry Ford Museum because of Ford’s publication of “The International Jew.” Henry Ford has been dead for more than 60 years, and he retracted and repudiated “The International Jew” before he died. This means that NJDC has set a red line at association with a dead EX-anti-Semite. We are therefore confident that NJDC will take prompt public exception to Barack Obama’s multiple appearances,...

Chutzpah: a man murders his parents and then asks the court for mercy because he is an orphan. Chutzpah certainly describes the National Jewish Democratic Council's recent condemnation of Sarah Palin for calling accusations that she somehow incited the alleged crime of Jared Lee Loughner as blood libels. It is a matter of record that NJDC has itself posted material that could be used to incite hatred of Jews as well as a blood libel of the Christian computer game "Left Behind: Eternal Forces." Here is what David A. Harris had to say about Palin: Instead of dialing down the...

The National Jewish Democratic Council, which is about as Jewish as the Westboro Baptist Church is Christian, required less than 72 hours to seek political profit from the mindless crime that was committed against Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and others. NJDC's new leader David A. Harris eagerly dipped his hands into the blood of the victims to demonstrate NJDC's ignorance, dishonesty, or both with regard to the Second Amendment. As anyone who has ever fired a weapon at a cardboard target senses deep down, and as any well-trained law enforcement officer knows of a certainty, there is a tremendous, vast difference...

National Jewish Democratic Council previously enabled MoveOn.org-hosted anti-Semitic blood libelIt comes as no surprise that the National "Jewish" "Democratic" Council has prostituted its purportedly Jewish identity to attack Sarah Palin for entirely partisan purposes, and that David A. Harris' lack of integrity is matched only by that of former NJDC leader Ira Forman. We remind our readers that Forman used NJDC's nominally Jewish identity to whitewash MoveOn.org's sponsorship of the most vicious imaginable hate speech against Jews and others, much as Jewish kapos (concentration camp trustees) of the Second World War told other Jews that the cattle cars were going...

Yesterday's Jerusalem Post Op Ed piece by Marc Stanley Chairman National Jewish Democratic Council gave American Jews some interesting advice; even if President Obama is screwing Israel, we should just lie down and enjoy it. The Democratic chair's myopic "no matter what" support of President Obama's policy toward Israel is wrong for the United States, the future of Jewry in America, and Israel. Stanley tries to take on the Jews who are disappointed with the President's performance by through name calling and quotes without context. For example US President Barack Obama and his administration are making an unprecedented effort to...

"From Polls to Print and Now TV, Republican Jews Push Lies and Distortions About Obama," says the National Jewish Democratic Council (NJDC). The original Judenrats were Nazi-appointed Jews whose job was to govern Jewish ghettos and even select Jews for "relocation" to concentration camps, and a kapo was a concentration camp trustee or collaborator. Most Judenrat members and kapos at least had the excuse that they had guns to their heads (often literally). The NJDC, on the other hand, is willing to whitewash and shill for anti-Semites and other lowlifes entirely of its own volition. The National Jewish Democratic Council...
