Jerusalem – A far-right wing Zionist organization is urging the Fox News Channel to fire conservative pundit Ann Coulter if she does not apologize for a series of tweets that many construed as anti-Semitic.

“How many f—ing Jews do these people think there are in the United States?” Coulter said on Twitter during the final minutes of the three-hour debate between Republican presidential candidates on Wednesday evening, when four of eleven candidates mentioned their support for Israel in their closing remarks.
The four candidates were former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who said he would move the US embassy to Jerusalem as one of his first acts as president, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
At one point, Coulter took aim at Huckabee, writing: “Good Grief, Huckabee is running for prime minister of Israel.”
The backlash was instantaneous. Followers accused Coulter of being “anti-Semitic,” and “desperate for attention,” calling her statement “f—ing offensive.” Several followers mentioned they believed her account had been hacked while others suggested she was drunk after playing a drinking game while viewing the debate.
“Last night, Ann Coulter made appalling, anti-Jewish remarks which evoked the classic, anti-Semitic trope about Jewish manipulation of America for the purposes of supporting Israel at America’s expense,” Zionist Organization of America head Morton Klein said.
“When GOP candidates speak of strengthening the US-Israel relationship which has been harmed by President [Barack] Obama within the context of the need to ensure that Iran doesn’t go nuclear; to strengthen America’s hand in the world when dealing with vicious totalitarian enemies who seek the demise of the US, they are defending America’s interests,” Klein said.
“Instead, and for reasons best known to her, she chose to misrepresent their entirely legitimate statements as pandering to Jews.”
“Ann Coulter was gratuitously offensive and anti-Jewish in her remarks on twitter yesterday,” Klein said. “If such was not her intention, there is a simple remedy: she should immediately retract and make a heartfelt apology for her words.”
“Failing this, Fox News should dismiss her immediately.”
She will never apologize. She THRIVES and CRAVES attention in any form she may get it…..
The bigger issue is that antisemitism is becoming politically correct. If someone tweeted f-ing blacks or f-ing women or f-ing Moslems, you’d never hear the end.
She is a female version of Trump…just as hateful and vile and deserves to be taken down permanently. If the Ebeshter chooses to pass her on through the next year, than at a minimum, FOX should send her to media gehenom.
I know for a fact she doesn’t hate Jews. She just speaks with no filter. Her comments weren’t anti-Semitic, as much as I believe they were not correct.
Who has the longer face….Kerry or Coulter?
She may have said the word as an adjective, but we know who is using the word as a verb.
Im a big fan. but no Apology ???????
This might not be the most effective way to demonstrate that Jews do not control the media.
ANN! LIsten Up, Ann!
You’re right! It’s just the Zionists at work, meddling in USA affairs.
And the more they do it, the more they annoy the rest of USA Jews, who are the majority of USA Jews.
And they really ought to stop, or they’ll be in the position someday of that old fable of the “Zionist who cried Nazi”.
As I commented on a precious article, coulter is religiously anti Jewish. She once made a remark that she was a “completed “or “perfected” jew.
This statement reflects the age old Christian displacement theory,that Gd despiswd and rejected the Jews and replaced them with a more perfected religion…Christianity.
This theory is still accepted by the likes of Gibson and Coulter. Coulter won’t apologize for what she believes is part of her belief system
she should be banned from the airwaves and never heard from again,and people should boycott her books as well.Fox should be boycotted,especially with Machshaifa Zona Kelly still on!!
Fox News in the past, had other controversial characters appear on its various shows. For example, a known anti-Semite, by the name Pat Buchanan has appeared on the Hannity Show. Even O’Reilly hosted Al Sharpton a number of times, as well as Mark Lamont Hill. Both of them are no friends of ours. Ann Coulter basically has a big mouth, and is similar to Pat Buchanan. Roger Ailes should not have her appear on Fox News any longer. Incidentally, #3, I resent you comparing Ann Couter to Trump. Trump is a very good friend to Yidden, and has been around Jews his entire life. Coulter on the other hand, detests Jews, and would like to convert all of us.
To #13 - We should also not forget that Fox is one of the few stations (cable or otherwise), which specifically has notations on the screen, mentioning our Yom Tovim ( Rosh Hashanah, and Pesach). CNN does not do that, and could care less!
