Amazing! A call for tolerance from the guys who called innocent Lakewood residents Bad Apples.
The PR campaign continues:-APP: Lakewood Vaad sends message to President Trump to take a stronger stand against the white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups that gathered in Charlottesville, Virginia. "Groups marching with swastikas and assault rifles, protected by the very Constitution they seek to destroy, are not defenders of freedom – they are not America,''
Now is the time for us all to rise, as a united republic, and to say to each other, once again, that we are one nation where all are equal, with liberty and justice for all,'' they said.APP reports Here is the Full Statement from the VAAD:
"Heather Heyer, a gentle soul murdered by an intolerant racist in Charlottesville last weekend, died defending our freedoms. Most likely her loved ones would say that she was no hero, simply standing up for the founding values of our great republic – equality before the law, tolerance, justice and the rights of all to live in peace without oppression.
"But she was a hero. She encompassed the heart and soul of all Americans from North and South, East and West, of all skin colors, backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions, indeed of all humanity with a moral compass and a conscience. Her message was timeless, let bigotry have no haven on this earth that we all share together.
"Heather defended the fort – our fort – tragically with her life. She sanctified the moral values instilled by the All-Mighty in our souls and boldly defended the principles embodied in our Constitution.
"Elie Wiesel, the noted humanitarian and the voice of innocent victims once said to a president of the United States: “Mr. President, this is not your place.” Your legacy is not to give fodder to racists and anti-Semites to warp and hate with. Your place needs to be exclusively with the innocent victims of intolerance.
"Groups marching with swastikas and assault rifles, protected by the very Constitution they seek to destroy, are not defenders of freedom – they are not America. Now is the time for us all to rise, as a united republic, and to say to each other, once again, that we are one nation where all are equal, with liberty and justice for all.
"Mr. President, please join the countless good Americans who are honoring Heather's legacy and making that statement.''
