Jewish groups disagree about Muslim migration to
US; internal pact revealed, by Ann Corcoran 3/25/18
Presidents Conference’s Secret Rules Bar Jewish Groups From Attacking Each Other (President refers to the Presidents of each of the Jewish advocacy groups.)
“Some refugee resettlement groups, such as HIAS, which have invoked ‘morality’ arguments….have been receiving millions of dollars of government grants to resettle refugees,” Klein wrote.
It
seems that the fifty or so Jewish groups operating in the US have a secret pact
to not speak ill of each other. However, that agreement seems to be coming
apart as complaints involving the more conservative Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) have been filed.
One
of those complaints appears (no one is revealing complete details) to involve a
possible complaint by the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS)
which is not happy with ZOA pointing out HIAS’s financial incentive to admit
and resettle more Muslim ‘refugees’ to America.
Mark Hetfield, CEO of the Hebrew
Immigrant Aid Society speaking at one of many anti-Trump events he was involved
in. See more on the schism among American Jews here:

(HIAS,
for new readers, is one of the nine major federal resettlement contractors
placing refugees as secretively as they can into your towns and cities. HIAS
played a major role in filing lawsuits against the Trump Administration’s
so-called Muslim ban.)
First here is information from Forward in a story
entitled:
Top American Jewish organizations agreed last year to adhere to rules
that ban them from attacking each other, the Forward has learned.
The rules, which regulate the discourse of American Jewish leaders,
have never been publicized, and are unknown to the vast majority of the
constituents of the organizations that have agreed to abide by them. First
written in 1995, they were quietly revamped in early 2017.
All
of the fifty-odd Jewish groups that belong to the Conference of Presidents of
Major American Jewish Organizations are subject to the rules, which now ban
“insults, ad hominem attacks, and name calling” against the Presidents
Conference or its member organizations, and statements that are “false,
inaccurate or unfairly exaggerated.”
Alleged violations of the rules are referred to a committee that has
the power to recommend that organizations guilty of serial violations be
expelled from the Presidents Conference. The membership and procedures of that
committee, which also were updated last year, have never been made public.
At
least four alleged infractions of the rules are currently pending before the
committee, the Forward has learned. Those four all involve the Zionist Organization of
America, a hawkish pro-Israel group, which is the subject of two of the
complaints and has filed two more.
“I
criticize other organizations all the time,” said Mort Klein, the ZOA’s
president. “You just can’t lie, and you can’t say don’t support them. You can’t
call names.”
The
Presidents Conference did not respond to a request for its current governing
documents. It also did not respond to questions about what complaints are
currently pending before the tribunal, and whether the tribunal had ever acted
against a member organization.
According to one person active in the Presidents Conference, both the
Jewish refugee aid organization HIAS and the Anti-Defamation League currently
have complaints that have long been pending against the ZOA.The ZOA’s Klein told the Forward that
his group has brought its own complaints against the ADL and Ameinu, a
progressive Zionist organization.
None of the organizations would describe the content of their
complaints. But that they relate to the ZOA is not surprising, given the
organization’s willingness to publicly attack its colleagues. In a letter to the
editor published in the Forward in 2017, Klein suggested that there was a
“profit motive” behind the HIAS’s opposition to President Trump’s Muslim ban.
HIAS
would not say whether the January 2017 letter, or some other public statement
by the ZOA, was the subject of its complaint to the committee.
“I
do not want to prejudice the proceedings in any way by commenting before the
process has run its course, which I hope will be soon,” said Mark Hetfield,
HIAS’s president and CEO. More here.
The letter and the allegations against HIAS: Here is Hetfield again protesting
against the President. Hetfield pulls down an annual salary of over
$350,000. Where is Congress? Cut their federal funding!
This
is a portion of the 2017 ‘Letter to the Editor’ by Morton Klein (supporting President
Trump) that seems to have Hetfield steamed:…. under Jewish law, someone with a potential “profit motive” to
favor a particular position is in no position to judge. Some refugee
resettlement groups, such as HIAS, which have invoked “morality” arguments to
promote admitting poorly vetted refugees have been receiving millions of
dollars of government grants to resettle refugees.
There
is also no moral equivalence between Trump’s executive order and Franklin
Delano Roosevelt slamming the doors on Jews trying to escape from Nazi Europe.
The 1930s Jews posed no terror threat to the U.S., were in imminent danger of
annihilation, and had nowhere else to go. By contrast, immigrants from the
seven countries of concern are infiltrated by terrorists, are often already in
Turkey or Jordan where there is no imminent danger, and have 50 other Muslim
nations that can be pressured to accept them. (ZOA also favors safe zones in
the Middle East.)
The Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes survey (2009) found that
over 90% of Muslims in surveyed majority Muslim nations held strongly unfavorable
(anti-Semitic) attitudes towards Jews. Bringing more Jew-haters into the U.S.,
who will join surging vicious anti-Semitic activities on college campuses and
the anti-Israel Congressional lobby, is dangerous and immoral.
More here. Our complete Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society archive is here. HIAS is very close to the SPLC,
by the way.
These
(below) are the nine federal refugee resettlement contractors and I say all of them have a profit motive (including
Catholics, Lutherans, Episcopalians, etc) to resettle more refugees including
Muslim refugees.
And,
I think one of the greatest insults to taxpayers is that these same groups,
which are paid by us to take care of refugees, have become super-sized Leftwing community
organizing and agitating groups. HIAS is the leader in attacking Trump!
The
number in parenthesis is the percentage of the nine VOLAGs’ income paid by you (the
taxpayer) to place the refugees, line them up with jobs, and get them signed up
for their services! From
most recent accounting, here.
