Over a dozen conservative organizations ask president to give Netanyahu a ‘free hand to extend Israeli sovereignty over Judea and Samaria’; US publishes Israel map including Golan

Letter to Trump comes in response to one from left-wing groups calling on him not to support Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.

“Gathering with Jewish leaders,” an invitation viewed by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency says. “You are invited to a discussion with key Administration officials on pertinent issues impacting the community.”

A coalition of more than a dozen conservative groups, most of them Jewish, sent a letter to President Donald Trump tacitly asking him to respect a potential Israeli annexation of West Bank settlements.

Among the groups which did make the cut were the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the Jewish Federations of North America, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the Zionist Organization of America, the Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity, the Coalition for Jewish Values, the Republican Jewish Coalition and the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.

Kudos to the Coalition for Jewish Values. It’s obscene that the Mayor of New York City and even many leftist Jewicidal leaders would kowtow to this vicious anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, who is a leader of the BDS movement, and a supporter of sharia.

The CJV issued a public statement on March 29 in support of Yeger and said that “achieving peace requires we address the reality — and to claim that Arabs have a ‘right’ to take more land from the Jews of Israel inverts reality, in a classically antisemitic fashion.”

‘There has never been a country called Palestine,’ says Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, responding to brouhaha over NY Councilman Yeger tweet.

Although what was called “Palestine” under the British Mandate includes all of modern-day Jordan, the “Palestine” described by the Palestinian Authority, left-wing groups and terror organizations traces only the borders of Israel’s portion.

Yeger observed on Twitter that “Palestine does not exist” while condemning the anti-Semitic statements of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Sarsour responded by calling his statement “this kind of hate” and “bigoted,” and demanding that Yeger “apologize publicly to Palestinian New Yorkers.”
