Following the U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passing a resolution on Thursday, condemning anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred, U.S. President Donald Trump labeled Democrats as “anti-Jewish” and “anti-Israel.”

“I thought yesterday’s vote by the House was disgraceful,” he told reporters at the White House. “The Democrats have become an anti-Israel party and anti-Jewish party.”

The Jewish Democratic Council of America slammed the president.

“We are appalled, but not surprised, that President Trump has once again demonstrated dishonesty, hypocrisy and willingness to use anti-Semitism and Israel as a political football,” said its executive director, Halie Soifer, reported The Times of Israel.

The IDF said that the the Al-Amana Fuel Company sites generate millions of dollars a year for the Iranian-backed terror group.
A U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission fact sheet says that the two countries are working to “undermine the U.S.-led global order.”
“Opining on world affairs is not the job of a teachers’ union,” said Mika Hackner, director of research at the North American Values Institute.

“We’re launching a campaign to show the difference in the attitude towards Israel and towards Iran,” Daniel Meron, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told JNS.
Sara Brown, of the AJC, told JNS that “today we saw the very best of the democratic process.”
“Campaigns defined largely by opposition to AIPAC, our members and the values we represent continue to fall short on election night,” the pro-Israel group said.
