BOSTON - The Anti-Defamation League said it is "deeply disappointed" with GOP governors, including Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker, for refusing to accept Syrian refugees after Friday's ISIS attacks that killed 129 people and injured more than 430 others in Paris.
"This country must not give into fear or bias by turning its back on our nation's fundamental commitment to refugee protection and human rights," Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan A. Greenblatt said Monday, urging governors to keep their doors open during the humanitarian crisis.
"Now is precisely the time to stand up for our core values, including that we are a proud nation of immigrants," Greenblatt said. "To do otherwise signals to the terrorists that they are winning the battle against democracy and freedom."
Baker said he will not allow Massachusetts to accept any Syrian refugees until he learns more about how the federal government plans to screen them. "I would say no as of right now. I'm not interested in accepting refugees from Syria," he said Monday. "I would need to know a lot more than I know now before I agree to do anything."
After the Paris attacks, Baker and fellow Republican governors in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin announced they would not take in refugees trying to escape the violence in Syria, USA Today reports.
The concern, according to the Republican state leaders, is that Syrian refugees seeking resettlement in the United States might include people with terrorist ties. As of Monday evening, only one Democratic governor, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, had joined the chorus of GOP governors opposed to accepting refugees.
President Barack Obama has called on the U.S. to accept up to 10,000 refugees from Syria, where fighting has displaced millions, but Baker and other state leaders remain skeptical. However, the governor did not entirely rule out accepting refugees in the future, if the feds establish an appropriate vetting process.
The ADL, which fights anti–Semitism and promotes fair and humane immigration policies, has called Europe's current migrant crisis "the worst since World War II." The Jewish community is particularly affected by images of Syrians – more than half of the refugees hail from Syria – being uprooted from their homeland "only to find they are unwanted anyplace else," Greenblatt said.
"Many of these refugees are fleeing the same terrorists who perpetrated the horrendous attacks on Paris," he said.
The ADL has joined with several other Jewish organizations to form the Jewish Coalition for Syrian Refugees in Jordan in response to the humanitarian crisis resulting from Syria's civil war.
Maybe the ADL and George Soros should get Israel to take thousands of Syrians.
If you believe this, then you have no idea at all about the actual history of those horrific events. I attribute your sad comment to ignorance rather than malevolence.
Isn’t it heartwarming to see the Jews (ADL, media, etc.) and Muzzies (terrorists, etc.) joining together against their common enemy: the White Christian race?
Not that this is anything new, but it’s nice to see them admit it so overtly for a chance.
Most suicidal group of people on the face of the earth besides libs seems to be Jews (reform or atheist).
Can’t pray enough for them!
Cair, ISIS, Obama and other terrorist lovers are also upset...
The ADL is filled with useful infidels..JINOs and kapos..
False And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.

Are you a racist and an antisemite ?
Antisemitic and AntiIsrael; is it from ignorance or malice ?
How many are the Catholic Charities sending to the Vatican?
wetgundog, you are a Lutheran, correct ? Did you know it was Martin Luther who laid out a seven point plan for the Holocaust almost four centuries before his countrymen adopted it ?
Maybe the ADL could team up with CAIR!
Bunch of Obama sucking DUmmies, if you ask me.
And if you listen to Mr. Obama’s speech this week, he said POLITICAL persecution, not religious. He was AGAINST safe refuge for persecuted Christians from Syria.

Obama Throws Christian Refugees to Lions [deported back to Syria]
Human Events ^ | Sep 28, 2015 | Raymond Ibrahim
The fate of those Iraqi Christians who had fled from the Islamic State only to be incarcerated in the United States has finally been decided by the Obama administration: they are to be thrown back to the lions, where they will likely be persecuted if not slaughtered like so many Iraqi Christians before them.
Fifteen of the 27 Iraqi Christians that have been held at a detention center in Otay Mesa, California, for approximately six months, are set to be deported in the coming weeks. Some have already been deported and others are being charged with immigration fraud.
Many of the Iraqi Christian community in San Diego—including U.S. citizen family members vouching for the refugees—had hopes that they would eventually be released. Mark Arabo, a spokesman for the Chaldean community, had argued that “They’ve escaped hell [IS]. Let’s allow them to reunite with their families.†One of the detained women had begged to see her ailing mother before she died. The mother died before they could reunite, and now the daughter is to be deported, possibly back to the hell of the Islamic State.
Why are Christian minorities, who are the most to suffer from the chaos engulfing the Middle East, the least wanted in the United States?
The answer is that the Obama administration defines refugees as people “persecuted by their government.†In other words, the only “real†refugees are those made so due to the actions of Bashar Assad. As for those who are being raped, slaughtered, and enslaved based on their religious identity by so-called “rebel†forces fighting Assad—including the Islamic State—their status as refugees is evidently considered dubious at best.

Right of the People BUMP
Where is this “fundamental commitment” enshrined? I’ve scoured the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and a host of the nation’s other framing documents and I don’t find any such language in any of them. When did we take on the obligation of providing succor to every pest-ridden dust-monger who was unhappy in his third-world hovel?
To hell with them. Let someone else be the world’s daycare. We owe them nothing.
I say the states should summon their militias and turn back the busses or planes or mule trains these vermin ride in on. If the feds want them here so bad, let the feds house them on federal property. Right up until the first one of them so much as jaywalks ...
“This country must not give into fear or bias by turning its back on our nation’s fundamental commitment to refugee protection and human rights,”
How about using a little common sense, you idiot. If you’re that concerned, take them into YOUR home, YOUR neighborhood, YOR city. And stay the hell out of mine.
Its all good when you can play Mr Nice Guy on somebody elses dime, the real test of your philanthropy is when you open your spare bedroom.
