* The Poway Synagogue shooting took place in the San Diego area.

"San Diego Jewish Leaders Face Challenges Responding to Trump’s Tweets, ‘Disloyalty’ Claim."

"Over the past month, President Trump has tweeted and said things about Muslim members of Congress that many saw in the same light — as racist. He also declared that American Jews who vote for Democrats were being “very disloyal to Jewish people and very disloyal to Israel.”

"About 50 rabbis and other leaders were asked via email or website forms to comment on whether Trump’s tweets were racist and Rep. Ilhan Omar anti-Semitic for supporting the BDS movement (boycott-divestment-sanctions) against Israel."

"Only seven responded on the record, mostly with variations of “we don’t do anything political.”
