QuoteA "sit-in" to combat anti-Semitism was held Thursday at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) congressional office in Washington, DC.

Spokesman for the National Conference on Jewish Affairs (NCJA) Rabbi Aryeh Spero called for the event, announcing it as an "emergency action" to address the lack of a clear rejection of anti-Semitism by Democrats in the House of Representatives.

"Omar should be censured and, beyond that, removed from the powerful and influential House Foreign Affairs Committee that Speaker Pelosi surprisingly granted to this first-year legislator. Omar's thinking, her conduct, and her blithe willingness to inject anti-Semitic tropes into the legislative process make her unfit to hold such a strategic position," Rabbi Spero said.

I am not a NYC Jewish person or an Israeli Jewish person.  Just Jewish enough, thanks.  Traditionally Jewish ethics is concerned about fair play for all, not litmus test politics.
