In November, three years before the next presidential election, several GOP presidential  hopefuls will appear at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual Las Vegas conference. 

Washington, DC  -- The Republican Jewish Coalition celebrates the first anniversary of the historic Abraham Accords signed by Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain with the support and leadership of the United States.

Washington, DC (August 2, 2021) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition received a letter on July 22, 2021 from the lawyers for the Jewish Democratic Council of America, demanding that the RJC delete a tweet asking why JDCA remained silent in the face of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s repeated use of antisemitic rhetoric.

The RJC’s response to that letter was simple: “We will not be silenced, canceled, or intimidated.”

A Jewish Democratic group is pushing back on claims that it goes soft on anti-Semitic congresswoman Ilhan Omar, pointing to a single press release from more than two years ago that criticized the Minnesota Democrat for accusing American Jews of buying support for Israel.

Through its lawyer, the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) threatened legal action against the Republican Jewish Coalition for writing in a July 21 tweet that it never criticizes Omar. In a July letter, the JDCA cited its quick condemnation of Omar after she tweeted in 2019 that American support for Israel is "all about the Benjamins baby."
