The American Forum for Israel, the American affiliate of the World Zionist Organization, has decried the attendance of organizations like IfNotNow and Jewish Voice for Peace at the “No Hate. No Fear” rally against anti-Semitism held in New York on Sunday.
AFI Chairman Dmitry Shiglik said, these organizations “are by their nature supporting anti-Semitic initiatives and partner with anti-Semites. Their role is purely to divide the Jewish People and to stand against its unity.” He added, “You can not pretend to stand in solidarity with Jews when you stand against the Jewish State and Jewish communities in its indigenous and ancestral homeland. This is a hypocrisy and a contradiction, and we should not be afraid to say so.”
