This is part of a worrying trend of politicizing anti-Semitism, taking divisive, partisan positions at a moment when we should be striving to maximize Jewish unity.

Especially in the wake of the horrific attack at the Tree of Life Congregation in Pittsburgh, Mr. Steyer should not diminish our important national dialogue about anti-Semitism by employing the phrase for partisan purposes.

The Coalition for Jewish Values condemns the horrific massacre that took place during the Holy Sabbath in Pittsburgh today. Needless to say, this act must be denounced in the harshest possible terms by all decent people of all faiths.

That a religious organization is able to work uniquely with co-religionists is a key freedom that Americans of all faiths, and especially American Jews, should seek to preserve.
