Rabbi Yaakov Menken wrote that Nehorai’s article promoted the idea that the Orthodox do not care about others. “To many, Nehorai’s article merely confirmed what they already ‘knew.’ How often do we hear that Orthodox Jews care only about themselves, and don’t even accept the Jewish status of other Jews?”

The Democrats failed to singularly condemn anti-Semitism from one of their own.

Neturei Karta allies itself exclusively with the world’s leading anti-Semites. From Louis Farrakhan to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, from Yasser Arafat to the heads of Hezbollah, if you are stirring the pot of Jew-hatred, the self-haters of Neturei Karta are anxious to add a ‘Jewish’ flavor to the odious broth.

“Jews who invested their political lives in the Democratic Party were rewarded with a resolution that failed to uniquely address the unique hate directed against them. A resolution against ‘all hate’ is not a resolution against anti-Semitism, but a garbage resolution that I would have voted against.”

Yaakov Menken, Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, discusses the need for a conservative Jewish voice, the “offensive” fabrication that President Trump is anti-semitic, abortion, and why he doesn’t want an anti-Semitic monument torn down.

They also sounded the alarm ahead of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s scheduled appearance at Islamic Relief USA, “whose parent organization and chapters have documented ties to terrorist organizations.”

“These absolutist positions — I’m ‘pro-life,’ I’m ‘pro-choice’ — neither one does it justice,” said Rabbi Yaakov Menken, of the Coalition for Jewish Values, a conservative Orthodox group. “The Jewish community for sure can’t comfortably fit in either extremist box, because we’re not.”

At CPAC — a discussion about Israel, abortion laws, the CJV and more.

Coalition for Jewish Values rabbis: ‘Positions moderate compared to statements, positions, outright support for terror of several Arab MKs.’

The intervention of the AJC and AIPAC is both startling and deeply troubling. Considering the support for terrorism shown by multiple Arab [Knesset members], to uniquely criticize Otzma Yehudit seems to reflect bias against Jews, rather than a sincere desire for the elimination of hatred and bigotry on all sides.
