(JNS) Pro-Israel philanthropist Adam Milstein has said that he remains committed to speaking out against the anti-Semitic rhetoric of Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), as well as the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), following his announcement that he has withdrawn from moderating a panel at the upcoming AIPAC Policy Conference after a series of tweets criticizing the politicians.
“It’s specifically because I believe in the importance of religious tolerance, freedom of speech and pluralism that I will continue to speak out against CAIR, and Representatives Omar and Tlaib,” he told JNS.
On Tuesday, it was reported that Milstein, who has been a prolific donor to AIPAC over the last decade, giving $200,000 annually to the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF) that makes annual grants to AIPAC, withdrew from moderating the panel following a series of tweets where he criticized Omar, Tlaib and CAIR.
