Rejecting MoveOn.org
Netwmd.com reprints a CJV press release.
- The Center for Jewish Values today called on Pennsylvania Democrat, US Senate Candidate Bob Casey, Jr. to return almost $170,000 of campaign contributions from extremist group MoveOn.org. As has been covered extensively in the press over the past several months, MoveOn.org’s website has a record of attacking Jews and Israel in the most virulent terms. The public repeatedly has asked Casey to repudiate MoveOn’s hate, to return all contributions he has received in connection with MoveOn, and to reject future contributions from MoveOn. Casey continues to ignore all such requests.
“Jews are frightened that MoveOn’s hate message is becoming so influential in national politics. We are deeply troubled that Casey is legitimizing and making himself beholden to a group that tolerates and promulgates the worst kind of hatred, anti-Semitism and anti-Israel propaganda,” said CJV president Jeff Ballabon.
