Before sun had even set on day that a white nationalist opened fired in #Poway synagogue, killing 1Jewish person at prayer & injuring 3 more, at least 3 Jewish men in positions of power & accountability were using the occasion to foment Islamophobia & their right-wing agendas 1/7

Dov Hikind is a NY State Assemblyman. Chip Roy is a Congressman from Texas. Mort Klein is head of the ZOA. Each tried to personally connect Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first Muslim women in Congress, to this heinous attack. We need some accountability 2/7

They have constituents and institutions that they are accountable to and in relationship with. Every single Jewish institution, Jewish elected, and Jewish constituent needs to be calling them to account. Everyone else too, but these are our "community leaders" so it's on us 3/7

No one is safe until all of us are safe. Call out the white supremacy and white nationalism that is endangering us all. Do not venally, cynically, hypocritically and harmfully take advantage of what happened to push your racist worldview. That should be the bare minimum 4/7

This is PRECISELY what happens when you allow CAIR into Congress to shape resolutions so that “general hatred” is condemned and not exactly what this is, pure, vile, evil ANTISEMITISM!
@Ilhan @RashidaTlaib @lsarsour , these are the ones responsible for mainstreaming Jew hatred! twitter.com/IlhanMN/status…

ZOA condemns despicable antiSemitic murder/shooting of Jews at a Synagogue in Calif.Our hearts go out to their families&to the Jewish people having to endure another Synagogue shooting. ZOA urges Congressional leaders to condemn this and Omar/Tlaib antisemitic remarks now.
