JNS: Jewish groups largely support House resolution against anti-Semitism; some say measure doesn’t go far enough

By Jackson Richman

Supporting the passage of the legislation were organizations such as the Jewish Democratic Council of America, Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, the Anti-Defamation League and Democratic Majority for Israel.

“We support this strong denunciation of anti-Semitism and join the House in rejecting all forms of intolerance and hatred,” said Jewish Democratic Council of America chairman Ron Klein, a former Florida Democratic congressman. “Anti-Semitism does not emerge in a vacuum. It is an indication of larger trends of intolerance in society and should be combated in conjunction with other forms of discrimination.”
