A group of American Jewish leaders placed a full-page advertisement in the New York Times to thank President Donald Trump for what he has done to combat anti-Semitism across the world.
The Republican Jewish Coalition paid for the full-page ad which also criticizes Democrats for their open embrace of causes advocating the destruction of Israel.
“Thank you, President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, for the appointment of Mr. Elan Carr as Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism,” reads the ad.
“As United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has observed, anti-Semitism ‘is on the rise in all parts of the world,'” the ad states. “Hatred of the Jewish people can be heard in the voices of those who call for boycotting, divesting from, and sanctioning the world’s only Jewish state.”
“While the Iranian regime has long demonized Israel, anti-Semitic voices can now be heard in the halls of the British Parliament and even the U.S. Congress,” the ad states. “We thank President Trump for his courageous, clear eyed leadership in engaging in the fight to defeat anti-Semitism. We stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump in saying, ‘Never Again,’ and we pledge our full commitment to helping his administration, including Special Envoy Carr, in the days, weeks, and months to come.”
During the State of the Union speech, Donald Trump reiterated many times that his main objective is to fight one of the most radical forces in the world: The Islamic State (ISIS) who is the number one “sponsor of terrorism” in the planet.
Motivated to this, he confirmed on Thursday that taking into account the prevention of never obtaining nuclear weapons, he withdrew his country from “Iran’s disastrous nuclear agreement.”
Similarly, he stressed that last year the US imposed the most serious and never before seen State sanctions, referring to Iran:
“We will not turn our eyes away from a regime that sings death to the United States and threatens genocide against the Jewish people,” the US president said.
President Trump recalled that it is impossible to forget the results and consequences left by “the vile poison of anti-Semitism, or those who spread their poisonous creeds”.
“We have to confront this hatred with one voice wherever it occurs,” he said.
He highlighted the case of the 11 American Jews who were killed in an anti-Semitic act at the synagogue the Tree of Life in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Two of the Jews who survived the attack and the Holocaust, more than 70 years ago, were present in the State of the Union, they are Judah Samet and Joshua Kaufman, who confirmed that the United States was synonymous with joy and “the proof that God exists” in the face of such a painful and catastrophic moment in the history of humanity.
In December of last year, Trump made the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and move the United States
