(Jewish Group) Bipartisan group of lawmakers condemn anti-Semitic attacks on Parkland students
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
A bipartisan group of lawmakers issued a statement on Friday condemning anti-Semitic attacks on students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
Four lawmakers from Florida and New York said they condemn "anti-Semitism in all its forms and reject any inappropriate evocation of the Holocaust or comparison to Nazis."
The letter signed by Reps. Ted Deutch (D-Fla.), Nita Lowey (D-N.Y.), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) and Eliot Engel (R-N.Y.), who co-chair the House Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism comes after anti-Semitic and anti-gun control fliers were left adjacent to the campus of American University this week.
Yahoo News reported on Monday that police arrested a person was caught trying to hang anti-Semitic fliers that pictured a survivor of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in February. Adolf Hitler was also pictured on the flier.
It is shameful for anyone to attack students especially survivors of gun violence with anti-Semitic slurs and Nazi comparisons. Policy differences are never an excuse for anti-Semitism," the lawmakers' statement reads.

I am shocked! Just as I am shocked how this was covered and discussed by so many who despise bigotry.
Oh wait...nope, not shocked at all. Not shocked at the anti-Semitism, not shocked at the lack of interest or discussion.
