our President want to bring this sickness into the United States ---- As Republicans Reject Syrian Refugees, US Jewish Community Responds With Solidarity, Support BY ABIGAIL ABRAMS <http://www.ibtimes.com/reporters/abigail-abrams> @ABBYABRAMS <http://www.twitter.com/abbyabrams> ON 11/18/15 AT 3:18 PM
Georgette Bennett was born in Hungary to Jewish parents who had survived the Holocaust. Bennett and her family escaped from Hungary to France in 1948, hoping to obtain visas that would allow them to immigrate to the United States. But the U.S. was hesitant to accept Jewish refugees due to concerns of overcrowding and fears that they could be political threats. Bennett’s family had to wait five years before they could start a new life in America. More than 50 years later, Bennett is fighting for Syrian refugees to receive better treatment than she did when she first came to the United States as a young child. “I was so stunned by the scale of this crisis, I could not stand by idly, I felt I had to do something,” Bennett said, describing the first time she learned that millions of Syrians were being uprooted from their homes by violence in the region. “My story absolutely undergirds my passion for this issue. Having been a refugee myself, having known the losses that my family experienced, having known the loss of parents and siblings, known the loss of livelihood and property -- that’s what the Syrians have lost also.” A growing number of politicians this week have taken a stand against Syrian refugees coming to the United States after it was reported that one of the suicide bombers in Friday's deadly attacks in Paris held a Syrian passport. But much of the American Jewish community is pushing back, saying that the opposition to Syrian refugees is reminiscent of the discrimination Jews faced after World War II. That is just what some Republicans want to do, however. Most of the nation’s governors said they would not accept Syrian refugees in their states, despite President Barack Obama’s plan to take in 10,000 Syrians next year. Republican presidential candidates Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz have said the U.S. should accept Christian refugees, but not Muslim ones. “Those kinds of comments are shameful and disgusting,” Rabbi Gil Steinlauf of the Adas Israel Congregation in Washington, D.C. said. “The problem is not with Islam; it is with extremist people, it is with hateful people, that’s the problem.” Steinlauf said his congregants have closely followed the Syrian refugee crisis and most of them believe that Jews have a responsibility to help other communities in need. “We must not forget our values as a Jewish people, things that we learn from tradition and from our historical memory,” he said. “That includes the charge that comes from the Torah that we were once strangers in Egypt, and we must think of refugees that are homeless and displaced. We have been a people in exile and were wandering for millennia. Justice for those who are homeless overrides other factors.” While the Jewish community in the U.S. has become more influential in the decades since World War II, it still represents just 1.9 percent of the population, according to the Pew Research Center. Christians make up 70 percent of the U.S. population, while Muslims account for 0.9 percent. Some Jewish leaders have spoken out against accepting Syrian refugees after the Paris killings. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, the only Jewish Republican currently in Congress, spoke on the House floor on Monday and said he wants tougher security measures to ensure terrorists do not sneak in among refugees coming to the U.S. “There is but one mandatory function constitutionally of the federal government, that is to provide for our national defense. This is a constitutional duty and a moral imperative that trumps any day of the week the charity of opening our doors to a Syrian who will blow himself or herself up on our streets in the name of Allah,” Zeldin said. “We must not move forward with the president’s plan to bring in tens of thousands of refugees, especially and so importantly, because we cannot identify who the bad ones are.” But for many Americans Jews, the idea of turning away people in need potentially because of their religion has sent an alarming message. The Anti-Defamation League, an organization that works to protect civil rights for Jews and other minorities, issued a statement <http://www.adl.org/press-center/press-releases/miscellaneous/us-governors-positon-refuse-relocation-syrian-refugees.html#.VkyET3arRpg> Tuesday condemning the governors who said they would reject Syrian refugees. “The people fleeing Syria are fleeing the same types of terrorists that did these attacks in France last week,” Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of ADL said Wednesday. “We need to have effective screenings for refugees, we need to look at the multi-layered process to make sure it works. But ADL works on behalf of all people regardless of how they look, where they’re from, who they love. The idea of discriminating against refugees based on their faith strikes us as very un-American.” Because of the connection some American Jews say they feel to other oppressed communities, a number of Jewish aid organizations such as HIAS <http://www.hias.org/> and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee <http://www.jdc.org/> (JDC) have been working to help Syrian refugees for years. Bennett founded the Multifaith Alliance for Syrian Refugees in 2013, and her group has worked with the JDC to provide humanitarian aid to refugees, as well as other Jewish organizations to help resettle Syrians in the U.S. and raise awareness of the Syrian refugee situation around the world. “If we don’t address this problem now, if we don’t save the children, who have now gone without schooling for years, and if we don’t house them, don’t educate them, then we are laying the ground for problems in the future, because they will be vulnerable to radicalism,” Bennett said. “We have an obligation to repair the world.” Every major Jewish organization in America has publicly demanded that America open its doors to hundreds of thousands of Muslim “refugees”—while at the same time supporting the Jews-only state of Israel which has barred all “refugees” from entering. [image: JTA Eleven Jewish Groups] The *Jewish Telegraphic Agency* (JTA) has reported <http://www.jta.org/2015/11/18/news-opinion/politics/10-jewish-groups-join-call-for-congress-to-accept-syrian-refugees-into-us> that eleven Jewish groups (including the Union for Reform Judaism, the Orthodox Union, the Rabbinical Assembly, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society HIAS, the National Council of Jewish Women, the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee, the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the umbrella body for Jewish public policy groups, and many others) have formally urged Congress “not to roll back plans to accept Syrian refugees into the United States.” [image: JTA-reminder-not-threat] Another *JTA *article (“For Jewish groups, Syrian refugees are a reminder—not a threat <http://www.jta.org/2015/11/24/news-opinion/politics/for-jewish-groups-syrian-refugees-are-a-reminder-not-a-threat>,” November 24, 2015), reported that the “consensus among the three major streams of US Jewry—Reform, Conservative, and Orthodox—is derived from a shared understanding of Jewish scripture, said Rabbi Jonah Pesner, who directs the Reform movement’s Religious Action Center. The *JTA *article went on to quote Rabbi Steve Gutow, the outgoing president of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, who said that “sympathy for the refugee was written into the Jewish cultural genetic code.” [image: Jewish-Exponent-Philadelphia] This latter opinion was echoed in an article in the <http://www.jewishexponent.com/headlines/2015/11/as-anti-refugee-sentiment-builds-jewish-agencies-push-for-settlement>*Jewish Exponent <http://www.jewishexponent.com/headlines/2015/11/as-anti-refugee-sentiment-builds-jewish-agencies-push-for-settlement>,* America’s second-oldest Jewish newspaper, published in Philadelphia. An article in that paper (“As Anti-Refugee Sentiment Builds, Jewish Agencies Push for Settlement,” November 25, 2015), quoted Rabbi Jennie Rosenn, vice president of community engagement at the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS) in New York, as saying that they had “been helping to connect local congregations with refugee families coming to their area.” READ Bloomberg “Presidential Bid” a Hoax <http://newobserveronline.com/bloomberg-presidential-bid-a-hoax/> The *Jewish Exponent* said that Jews had “been spurred to action by the numerous High Holiday addresses dedicated to welcoming the stranger,” and quoted Rabbi Jonathan Roos of Temple Sinai in Washington, DC, who had spoken to his congregation about the need to assist Syrian refugees through the lens of Jewish law and tradition. To that end, the *Jewish Exponent* continued, Roos’s Temple Sinai “has been working on the issue of refugees since 2014,” and although Temple Sinai “cannot directly sponsor refugee families, as congregations in Canada currently are,” Roos said that “Our own historical experience reminds us and points to the need to empathize, understand, and support the people who are in the same position.” The overwhelming Jewish support for Israel, which has openly refused to accept even one refugee, contrasts dramatically with their support for the policy of promoting Muslim refugees into America. It seems that Rabbi Steve Gutow’s “Jewish cultural genetic code” and Rabbi Jonathan Roos’s “need to empathize, understand and support” only extends as far as non-Jewish countries. When it comes to their country, Israel—which all these Jews fanatically support—this “need to empathize” is thrown out the window. As reported earlier, <http://newobserveronline.com/israel-bars-refugees-builds-wall-while-jews-support-refugee-invasion-of-europe/> the Israeli government has refused to accept any “refugees” from Syria or Africa—and is building a new wall to keep them out. [image: Israel-PM-Office-Statement-borders1] An official statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office <http://www.pmo.gov.il/English/MediaCenter/Events/Pages/eventgader060915.aspx> said that “Israel is a small country, a very small country, that lacks demographic and geographic depth. Therefore, we must control our borders, against both illegal migrants and terrorism.” <http://ostarapublications.com/> [image: LATIMES-Israel-refugees1] Israel’s official view on barring Syrian “refugees” was also detailed in the *LA Times* of September 6, 2015 (“One country that won’t be taking Syrian refugees: Israel <http://www.latimes.com/world/middleeast/la-fg-syrian-refugees-israel-20150906-story.html>”), where Netanyahu repeated his assertion that Israel’s “lack of demographic and geographic depth” required controlling its borders against both “illegal migrants and terrorism.” READ NYC: 92% Nonwhite Violent Crime <http://newobserveronline.com/new-york-nonwhites-commit-92-of-violent-crime/> In fact, Israel has also made it illegal for any non-Jew, as racially defined by that state <http://newobserveronline.com/israels-nazi-nuremberg-law-based-citizenship-definition-not-strict-enough-says-chief-rabbi/>, to immigrate to Israel at all, no matter where they come from <http://newobserveronline.com/jews-demand-open-borders-for-usa-but-use-dna-to-keep-israel-racially-pure/> . [image: TOI-DNA4] At the same time, the Israeli government has also financed, through its official foreign aid section (IsraAID), the Third World Muslim invasion of Europe. <http://newobserveronline.com/israel-officially-aids-3rd-world-invasion/> IsraAID is mainly financed by the Israeli government’s Department of Foreign Affairs, but, as the *Jewish Exponent* article revealed, it is also financially backed by Jews in America: Rabbi Lance Sussman, senior rabbi of Reform Congregation Keneseth Israel in Elkins Park, is a trustee of IsraAID, which aims to “help Israel, help humanity.” As a trustee on the organization’s North American board, Sussman is trying to build up the organization and solicit donations for the work IsraAID conducts in Jordan, Turkey, and the shores of Greece. The hypocrisy could not be clearer: * – In America,* Jews are united in pushing for mass Muslim “refugee” immigration. * – In Israel,* which these same Jews all fanatically support, all such Muslim “refugees” are completely barred, and prevented from entering by law and physical barriers. It is impossible to escape the conclusion that the Jews know that mass Third World or Muslim immigration to Israel will destroy that nation’s homogeneity and Jewish identity. It is also then equally impossible to escape the conclusion that the Jews also know that their demand for more mass Third World or Muslim immigration into America will destroy that nation’s homogeneity and identity—but because it is a non-Jewish state, they do not care and in fact encourage its destruction.
