Elliot Resnick, then editor-in-chief of The Jewish Press, was among the group that breached the Capitol on Jan. 6. (Screenshot from YouTube via JTA.org)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

By Shira Hanau<\/p>\n

Elliot Resnick, the editor of a politically conservative Jewish newspaper who was identified among the crowd that breached the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6<\/a>, is out of the job.<\/p>\n

Shlomo Greenwald, a grandson of the founders of The Jewish Press who has worked at the weekly paper since 2004, announced in a Facebook post Wednesday morning that he would be assuming the role of senior editor at the paper, replacing Resnick.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am both exhilarated and daunted by the work ahead in building on the great things The Jewish Press has always done while making improvements,\u201d Greenwald said in a statement to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, declining to comment on the paper\u2019s decision to replace Resnick. \u201cThe Orthodox Jewish community in the US is broad, and I hope to make a newspaper that will speak to and enlighten the community. The core interests of the community remain: fighting for a secure Israel and advocating for religious freedom at home, areas that The Jewish Press has always championed, and that I will continue to embrace in this role.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenwald did not respond immediately to questions about the future political direction The Jewish Press would take under his leadership. But he takes over at a time when the political identity of the newspaper \u2014 and its editor \u2014 has been the subject of widespread attention.<\/p>\n

Resnick was identified in YouTube videos of the Capitol breach by a researcher and first reported on by Politico in April.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0from Jan. 6 shows Resnick stumbling as he enters the Capitol building through a doorway while a Capitol police officer tries to keep out the intruders. His face is clearly visible when he reappears a few minutes later, standing nearby as another person shouts at a Capitol police officer.<\/p>\n

At the time Naomi Mauer, the publisher of The Jewish Press, appeared to stand behind Resnick.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we understand the facts, we believe that Mr. Resnick acted within the law,\u201d Mauer told Politico in an email, declining to respond to follow-up questions.<\/p>\n

Mauer did not respond immediately to a JTA request for comment.<\/p>\n

Resnick assumed the position of editor at The Jewish Press in 2018. He has long had a history of using incendiary language and has\u00a0called the gay rights movement \u201cevil.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Under Resnick\u2019s editorship, The Jewish Press was\u00a0criticized by the Anti-Defamation League in 2019<\/a>\u00a0after publishing an op-ed titled\u00a0\u201cThe Pride Parade: What Are They Proud Of\u201d<\/a>\u00a0comparing gay marchers in the New York event to animals, adulterers and thieves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf blacks resent America\u2019s [sic] so much, let them discard Christianity (which the \u2018white man\u2019 gave them) and re-embrace the primitive religions they practiced in Africa,\u201d\u00a0Resnick wrote in a tweet in 2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cCan someone give me a coherent reason why blackface is racist?\u201d\u00a0he wrote in another tweet that year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Resnick was not the only editor in Jewish Press history to espouse racist views.<\/p>\n

The paper was edited in the 1960s by Rabbi Meir Kahane, a Jewish nationalist who advocated violence against Arabs and was banned from the Knesset, Israel\u2019s parliament. Though the paper\u00a0distanced itself from Kahane in 1969,<\/a>\u00a0it still lists him among the paper\u2019s prominent past editors on its\u00a0website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Resnick gave a\u00a0glowing review<\/a>\u00a0to a Kahane biography written by Kahane\u2019s wife and described his own experience of \u201cnear trance\u201d while reading one of Kahane\u2019s books in high school.<\/p>\n
