Donald Trump is being criticized by the Anti-Defamation League for repeating a slogan the group believes to be anti-Semitic.
The ADL has taken issue with Trump’s use of the phrase “America First” to describe his approach to foreign policy.
The phrase was originally used by a group called the America First Committee in the 1940s, which pushed to keep the U.S. out of World War II.
The ADL released a statement Thursday saying that famed aviator Charles Lindbergh, one of the best-known supporters of the committee, sympathized with the Nazis.
“The undercurrents of anti-Semitism and bigotry that characterized the America First movement – including the assumption that Jews who opposed the movement had their own agenda and were not acting in America’s best interest – is fortunately not a major concern today,” ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt said in a statement.
“However, for many Americans, the term ‘America First’ will always be associated with and tainted by this history. In a political season that already has prompted a national conversation about civility and tolerance, choosing a call to action historically associated with incivility and intolerance seems ill-advised,” Greenblatt continued.
The group said it wrote a letter to Trump urging him to stop using the phrase.
Trump has not publicly commented on ADL’s request.
This is not the first time ADL and Trump have clashed.
In March, ADL decided to redirect all of the $56,000 in donations Trump previously gave to the Jewish civil rights-human relations organization, citing the “stereotyping and scapegoating that have been injected into this political season,” Greenblatt said at the time.

Give me a break. I’m NOT one of the many Americans that is offended by the phrase.
If these so called many Americans refers to the 2% of jews in my country, they better be offended.
If anything, I hope Trump gets the picture that jews don’t like anybody, even him.
They re-directed Trumps donation, what the heck does that mean?
They say that like it’s a bad thing
If they are offended , than the job is good
If they don’t like that , there’s more where that came from
Maybe this should bring his numbers up
Maybe he should change his slogan to…
“I hate the fkng jews and make America first”!
That will never happen though cause his daughter’s are married to jews.
The adl needs to shut the fk up and put a cork in it.
Oy veh…
“In a political season that already has prompted a national conversation about civility and tolerance,…”
Excuse me? Civility and tolerance?
Commiespeak for the fag agenda.
“… the assumption that Jews who opposed the movement had their own agenda and were not acting in America’s best interest…”
The stinking jews have never acted in anything but their OWN best interest.
Damm Skippy all, i say deport ALL those who scream america 2nd.
like all the fundementalist israeli firsters.i’m sick of this shit.
SCREW the ADL! They are as un-American as the SPLC and should be viewed as fifth columnists. In short, they are public enemies of the Republic and should be monitored in their homes and activities.
Imagine that. They are upset because the goy think their country should come first!
Silly goy, the phrase is Israel first. Nothing else will do!
Of course “America First” is anti-Semitic. The term “anti-Semitic” is applicable to any attitude or behavior that doesn’t fully embrace Jewish supremacy. Remember, we Gentiles were created only to serve the Jew, as the late Rabbi Ovadia Yosef stated:
“Goyim (gentiles, non-Jews) were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world – only to serve the People of Israel,” he said, according to the Jerusalem Post. “Why are gentiles needed? They will work, they will plow, they will reap. We will sit like an effendi and eat. That is why gentiles were created.”

“The phrase was originally used by a group called the America First Committee in the 1940s, which pushed to keep the U.S. out of World War II.”
And just tell me exactly what is wrong with keeping the US out of a war or how it offends the Jews in any way? Because we didn’t jump at the chance to die for them like other countries did?
““The undercurrents of anti-Semitism and bigotry that characterized the America First movement”
Anti-Semitism? Bigotry? Seriously? For defending ones own country? For caring more about one’s own country than another one or in the Zionist case, an occupied one?
Unflippinbelievable!!!!
They just don’t want anyone to say “America First” for anything because they want to erase the word “America” being number one from everything by making everyone think that by saying, “America First”, we are being “selfish”. COMMIE SPEAK!!
How come it’s ok for the Zionist bastards to say, “Israel First” but not America? Because they are the fake “Chosen People” who have to use the Holohoax excuse for anything and everything because they haven’t been able to think of a better excuse for their unjustified, barbaric, inhumane and demonic actions since then?
“BURN IN HELL, ADL!!!”
There’s my slogan for ya!
Oh, I’m sorry. Where’s my manners?

Israel First!
Middle finger first, that is. Get the picture?
I’m sure it’s not too hard for you Zionist Jews to understand since you all love secret sign language.
NC,
I can ad nothing! You said it all!
Another perfect example of the insanity of the Zionist mind-set. Go back to the rock from which you crawled out under from…the USA does NOT need you!!!
What, the joos don’t like Trump? If I gave a rat’s arse, anyone the joos hate is better than someone they love.
“You must say Israel first before you get our blessing.” “Otherwise, we’ll see if you survive our “back-stabbing!”
If they don’t believe in America First,
they can get the f##k out now.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
Go change the rules in your own country,
get the hell out of mine.
You people are brutal..
Now just settle down.
Like I said before.
I think I have some jewish blood in me.
Because for some uncontrollable reason I like to just fk people over for no reason and steal their shit and watch them suffer.
Just so I can feel like a God and know that I’m better then you.
Oy vey…..
Like my dad used to tell me…
In order to keep a person down in the gutter.
There has to be someone standing over them to keep them there.
So, ya think “The Donald” can teach them some manners. Anyone for “Two missiles to Paradise?” The outright arrogance of these creatures is astounding. “Kiss our arse first, smoochy, smoochy, smoochy!” “Don’t it smell like lilacs?”
This is herd misdirection.
Trumps apiac speech and foreign policy speech
align him with the ‘jews’. This is trying to make him look bad
so people don’t see the ‘jew’ puppet-masters lurking in trump’s shadows.
He’s surrounded by them.
Is trump just telling the ‘jews’ what they want to hear just to get in office and then turn against them? Very very slim possibility…and if so, i bet his time in office will be much shorter the JFK’s.

If the large-ego, small sexual-organs jootards don’t like it they can get the eff out of the US, and stop taking US’ (our) money.
