THE REAL ANTI-HANUKKAH FUNDAMENTALISTS

"President-elect Trump is not anti-Semitic nor are members of his team. On the contrary. They are pro-religion, pro-Judaism, and pro-Israel. I could not say the same about Obama's team."

Phyllis Chesler  "Judaism, National Council of Jewish Women, American Jewish Committee, Hadassah, and Jewish Federations of North America), unbelievably, refused to celebrate Hanukkah at the party given at the Trump Hotel in D.C. hosted by the Conference of Presidents o Major Jewish Organizations and the Ajerbaijan Embassy. J Street refused to come as well.

"The party, timed early enough so that people could also attend President Obama's last Hanukkah party at the White House, was attended by  the American Sephardi Foundation,the Zionist Organization of America and many other Jewish-American groups and leading figures.


"This is madness. This extreme refusal to accept reality is also malevolently childish. Clearly, these Jewish-American groups' religious affiliation is not with Judaism or with Israel but with a secular and anti-Zionist Democratic Party and with ultra-left liberalism. This is their religion and, unfortunately, they are fundamentalists.


"While I share the fear about how Trump's victory may embolden those who oppose women's reproductive freedom, I also think that as Jews, Americans, and Westerners, we must give the Trump Administration a chance.


"President-elect Trump is not anti-Semitic nor are members of his team. On the contrary. They are pro-religion, pro-Judaism, and pro-Israel. I could not say the same about Obama's team." . . .
