Rabbi Menken described how the ADL has become a supporter of the radical left (in addition to many other topics).
“There is…an amazing blind spot…an entire cadre on the left who hears the paraphrasing of Mein Kampf by Ilhan Omar and cannot call it antisemitic,” he said. “They hear Rashida Tlaib call the only county in the Middle East with Jews and Arabs in its government and they…cannot recognize classic antisemitism.”
He added, “Jonathan Greenblatt…has no background in antisemitism…all he has is a background in left-wing politics.”
Rabbi Menken also discussed the recent comments made by Kanye West. He also explained why there has been a surge in antisemitism, addressed Ben Shapiro’s role as a mainstream orthodox media figure, explained why his organization is so crucial for the frum community to combat leftist Jews who are hurting our cause, and much more.
When asked if Kanye’s hatred is just a fringe belief, Rabbi Menken said: “They are for sure not just fringe beliefs, there’s a large segment…when the Monsey machete attacker and the Jersey City gunman and 95% of the random violence…in Brooklyn is coming from that community, it is obvious that there is incitement going on within that community.”
He added, “It’s not as if what Kanye has to say is radically different than Farrakhan and Ilhan Omar.”

Rabbi Yaakov Menken is Managing Director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, the largest rabbinic public policy organization in America. He is thus the spokesperson for the beliefs and interests of over 2,000 American rabbinic leaders, promoting traditional Jewish values in American public policy. He is also the Founder and Director of Project Genesis, a leader in online Jewish outreach and education that publishes Torah.org, TorahMedia.com, JewishAnswers.org and other content-rich websites.
The CJV does not represent American Rabbis. The organization has barely any pulpit rabbis or congregational leaders. It is basically anybody who calls himself a rabbi which means he spent one day in Kollel.
The CJV is just as guilty as the ADL. The CJV can never bring itself to condemn the right or Trump. Rabbi Menken is silent on Trump YE and Fuentes
And CJV thinks that only Omar is dangerous and not Tucker. The CJV is a pro MAGA outfit that falsely claims to speak for “Jewish Values.”
The CJV focuses exclusively on left wing or democratic instances of antisemitism and ignores the antisemitism on the right. After Trump’s egregious response to Charlottesville Rabbi Menken penned an oped declaring that “Trump is right again.”
Rabbi Menken says “the Chosen People Myth?” Do we not say when we get an aliya to the Torah “asher bachar banu?” (Who chose us) Oops! What a terrible attempt at trying to prove their anti-semitism while at the same time denying who we are.
This leftist self hating atheistic creature called Greenblatt, is a bigger danger to Jews than a thousand kkk klansmen.
These treasonous America hating secular liberal Jews are causing more ANTI-SEMITISM,that a thousand Omar’s.
These treasonous so called Jews are responsible for the social and moral collapse of the U.S.
When the day of reckoning will come, it’s us Jews who will feel the brunt of the violence, as all Jews will be accused of wanting to destroy this once great country of ours
Jonathan Greenblatt can be congratulated for turning the ADL from a well respected organization within the Jewish community to a far left Jewish hating organization. He proves that Jews can turn in to the worst Jew haters.
No Saichel
You don’t have to say everything that’s on your mind
But the truth remains, Tucker Carlson is more dangerous that Ilhan Omar.
