NJ Arab Leader Aref Assaf Accuses Jews Of Being "Israel-Firsters" In Coming Election
Taking advantage of the use of the Antisemitic term "Israel Firster" among Democrats,
the president of the New Jersey-based American Arab Forum--Aref Assaf--is openly accusing Jews of being disloyal to the US
:
A prominent Arab supporter of New Jersey Democrat Bill Pascrell invoked the
“Israel firster”
specter over the weekend when he accused the state’s Jewish voters of being more loyal to Israel than America.
Aref Assaf
, president of the New Jersey-based American Arab Forum, opined Sunday evening in the
New Jersey Star-Ledger
about a Democratic primary that the state’s pro-Israel community is closely watching. The race pits Rep. Steve Rothman, a veteran pro-Israel stalwart, against Bill Pascrell, a well-liked Democrat who boasts a solid voting base.
Assaf
accused
New Jersey’s Orthodox Jewish voters of transforming the race from a domestic duel between local lawmakers into a proxy war between the state’s Jewish and Muslim communities.
“Unquestionably, this primary election is pitting two otherwise harmoniously coexisting communities: the Muslim and Jewish communities,” Assaf wrote in an article headlined “Rothman is Israel’s man in District 9.”
“As total and blind support for Israel becomes the only reason for choosing Rothman, voters who do not view the elections in this prism will need to take notice. Loyalty to a foreign flag is not loyalty to America’s,” Assaf added.
