\n is an offense to Jews. Our history reminds us that we, too, have long
\nbeen objects of racism and bigotry. We also remember that when we faced
\nannihilation in Europe, we were excluded from entry into the United
\nStates solely because of our religious beliefs. <\/span><\/p>\n
\nreject racism and prejudice. We urge them to insist upon those most
\ngenuine of American and Jewish values: religious freedom, human equality
\n and inviolable human rights. Doing so will promote both justice and
\nsecurity in this country and overseas. Doing otherwise is an odious
\nrejection of our own most profound commitments as both Americans and as
\nJews.<\/p>\n
