A young leadership delegation of AJC, the global Jewish advocacy organization, met with government officials, U.S. and Israeli diplomats, prominent journalists and Jewish community leaders in Colombia and Mexico.
AJC welcomed President-elect Trump’s pledge to “disavow and condemn” the Nazi-tainted “alt-right” organization that gathered in Washington, D.C., where the group’s leader, Richard Spencer, launched a vile antisemitic tirade at his group’s daylong conference.
AJC criticized those Israeli legislators who supported a proposed bill in the Knesset that would legalize settler outposts, erected without Israeli government approval, in the West Bank.
