Related: About this forumOne more group Trump corrupted: The Republican Jewish Coalition
By Jennifer Rubin July 11 at 11:30 AM
Jennifer Rubin writes the Right Turn blog for The Post, offering reported opinion from a conservative perspective.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
Donald Trumps refusal to denounce a tweet that critics call anti-Semitic is intensifying concerns among Republican donorsparticularly those who are Jewishabout giving to his campaign.
The prospective contributors, including board members of the influential Republican Jewish Coalition, also have criticized Mr. Trumps praise of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Husseins lethal justice for adversaries.
Im waiting for him to come forward as a statesman, and so far he hasnt done it, said Walter Stern, a longtime RJC board member and vice chairman of a private-equity firm who hasnt decided whether to give money to Mr. Trump.

The irony could not be greater. For the entirety of the Obama administration the RJC has denounced the National Democratic Jewish Council and DNC chairwoman Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-Fla.) who fancies herself a great friend of Israel for carrying water for President Obama, refusing to speak out against the administrations hostile stance toward the Jewish state and putting rank partisanship above concern for the American Jewish community and the U.S.-Israel relationship. Now the shoe is on the other foot as the RJC sticks with someone whose views are as noxious as they are ignorant.
