(Jewish Group) Jewish group asks head of Philly NAACP to resign after anti-Semitic Facebook post

The NAACP and the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia have a long history of working together to combat racism and bigotry.

So, Jewish leaders say it was shocking to learn Rodney Muhammad, the president of the Philadelphia Chapter of the NAACP, had shared an anti-Semitic post on his Facebook page. They are now calling for his resignation.


"Disgusting, unbelievably wrong thing to do," said Steve Rosenberg, the chief operating officer of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.

An image allegedly posted by Muhammad showed images of actor and rapper Ice Cube, Philadelphia Eagles star DeSean Jackson and TV host Nick Cannon - all three who have recently made anti-Semitic posts - and a man crushing people with his hand with the words: "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize."

1. Mr. Muhammad should apologize. The vast majority of the American Jewish community have always been

and are supporters and part of the Civil Rights movement through participation and contributions

It should be pretty obvious how hurtful this is
