Jewish Groups Deliver Over 1 Million Petition Signatures to Capitol Hill Against Bannon Appointment

Jewish and progressive groups delivered over 1 million petition signatures to Capitol Hill opposing President-elect Donald Trump’s pick of Stephen Bannon as his chief strategist.

The coalition, which includes J Street, Jewish Voice for Peace, Bend the Arc Jewish Action, IfNotNow and other progressive organizations, urged members of Congress on Thursday to denounce the Bannon appointment.

In a statement, the groups said “there is no place for a white supremacist, anti-Semitic, climate-change denying misogynist in the White House.”

Odd considering Bannon is pro-Israel. The accusation of anti-Semitism is based on what his ex-wife claimed he said about not wanting his children being educated in a school that had many Jewish students because he supposedly believed Jewish parents baby their children and didn't want spoiled Jewish kids influencing his children or something like that...

That, of course, is what his wife claimed as she was divorcing him. That's the only evidence of his supposed anti-Semitism. It's absurd and dishonest.

Breitbart was founded by a Jew in a room filled with Jews including Benjamin Netanyahu. I fail to see how a chief editor of a Jewish-founded magazine could be an anti-Semite.
