WASHINGTON – Several Republican lawmakers are using antisemitism as a tool to mobilize extremism for their own political power, a new special report from the American Jewish Congress finds.
The AJCongress report, entitled "Jews Are Not A Prop," claims that politicians such as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Paul Gosar and Scott Perry are engaging in virtual spaces where ideologies of hate commingle and virally spread – in turn amplifying, emboldening and normalizing antisemitism. 
The report notes that "Greene’s base loved her comparison of mask laws to the Holocaust precisely because they saw it as a high-profile attack that would cause hurt in the Jewish community, particularly to Holocaust survivors," the report states. It also rejected her apology, which she declined to share with her base on social media.

How Golda Meir, Israel's 'Iron Lady', helped establish an independent Jewish homeland


This piece is part of a new series in collaboration with the ABC’s Saturday Extra program. Each week, the show will have a “who am I” quiz for listeners about influential figures who helped shape the 20th century, and we will publish profiles for each one. You can read the other pieces in the series here.
Golda Meir was the fourth prime minister of Israel and the first woman to hold that position. She was hugely influential in the building of a Jewish and Zionist Israel, and a significant – and also controversial – figure in world politics.
Born Golda Mabovitch in Kiev, Ukraine, in 1898, Meir grew up in the United States and died in Jerusalem in 1978. This was a common Jewish migration pattern in that era, as people escaped the persecutions of the Pale of Settlement – the areas of the Russian empire in which Jews were allowed to settle – for a new life in the West.

Jewish groups call out GOP attacks on Biden nominee – The Forward


Several mainstream Jewish groups and a prominent pro-Israel Republican are defending a nominee who would be the most senior Muslim American in the administration over the attacks of Republicans trying to sink his chances.
Letters of support from the Jewish groups come ahead of a crucial vote on Tuesday on the nomination of Dilawar Syed to be deputy administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA).
Republicans on the Senate’s Small Business Committee are opposing Syed over his affiliation with Emgage Action, a Muslim- American advocacy group that has been critical of Israel and opposes legislation that restricts boycotts against Israel and other foreign countries. Syed, the chief executive of a California healthcare technology company, has been an active Emgage board member since 2017.
