(Arutz Sheva) The Coalition for Jewish Values, representing over 1000 traditional rabbis in matters of public policy, is demanding a public apology from activist Linda Sarsour for “peddling in anti-Semitic falsehoods” in order to attack an observant Jewish New York City councilman, Kalman Yeger.
Yeger observed on Twitter that “Palestine does not exist” while condemning the anti-Semitic statements of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Sarsour responded by calling his statement “this kind of hate” and “bigoted,” and demanding that Yeger “apologize publicly to Palestinian New Yorkers.”
Mayor Bill de Blasio on Friday joined Council Speaker Corey Johnson in saying Yeger should apologize or be removed from the City Council committee that oversees immigrant issues.
