National Jewish Democratic Council Leader Attacks Christians, Other Jewish Leaders Respond

By Published on November 13, 2015

“I’ve always said, you’ve got Evangelical Republicans supporting Israel because they are building a stairway to heaven on the backs of the Jews in Israel,” remarked the head of the National Jewish Democratic Council at the 2015 Jewish Federations of North America General Assembly on Tuesday. Greg Rosenbaum, board chair of the NJDC, made his comment during a breakout session moderated by Jewish Insider founder Max Neuberger that included Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC).

. . . Mr. Brooks [Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition] added, “There are people who support Israel for a myriad of reasons. There are people who support Israel for the technological innovation and the startup nation aspect. There are people obviously in the Jewish community who support for spiritual and religious reasons. There are people all across the spectrum who support Israel, and to start to develop a litmus test and say we don’t like your support of Israel because we don’t agree with the premise of it is wrong, misguided and shortsighted. As I said at the GA [General Assembly], I don’t care why people support Israel I care that we have as many people supporting Israel as possible.”
