A kapo was a concentration camp trustee while Judenrats, as described by Wikipedia, were generally composed of leaders of the Jewish community They were forced by the Nazis to provide Jews for use as slave labor, and to assist in the deportation of Jews to extermination camps during the Holocaust. Those who refused to follow Nazi orders or were unable to cooperate fully were frequently rounded up and shot or deported to the extermination camps themselves. Kapos and Judenrats therefore had the excuse that they had guns to their heads (literally), and that they would be killed if they did not tell other Jews that the cattle cars went to pleasant country resorts instead of extermination facilities. In contrast, no one is coercing the National Jewish Democratic Council into imitating Judenrats and kapos by whitewashing and sanitizing anti-Semites and other bigots for political gain.
There is nothing Jewish, at least in terms of values about common decency, about the National Jewish Democratic Council. NJDC consists of a few leaders and bloggers with Jewish names whose function is to convince Jewish voters that Barack Obama does not consort openly with anti-Semites and racists, that MoveOn.org does not promote hatred of Jews, Israel, and Catholics, and that the Jews for Jesus will turn us all into Gentiles if we dont vote for whatever the Democrats happen to be running for President.

It is important to expose NJDC for what it is to Jewish voters who feel somehow obliged to vote straight Democratic, even if the candidate surrounds himself with anti-Semites and racists like Al Sharpton.
