The Anti-Defamation League criticized President Donald Trump over his recent name-calling of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Trump repeated a campaign refrain Wednesday when he called Schumer a Palestinian.

Israel carried out an air strike on the Syrian capital Damascus on Thursday, targeting what the military said was a command centre belonging to the Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad, used to direct 'terrorist activities' against Israel.

Donald Trump alleged Wednesday that Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, is not Jewish. “Schumer is a Palestinian, as far as I’m concerned. You know, he’s become a Palestinian,” the president said in the Oval Office on Wednesday.
