“Were there no Israel, there wouldn’t be a Jew in the world that is safe,” Biden says at the White House Hanukkah party as he reaffirms support for Israel against its war against Hamas.

Jews protesting against Zionism and the State of Israel.🇮🇱 Are these Jews Anti-Semitic?

I was honored and deeply moved to meet with Manfred Lindenbaum. Manfred, whose niece Beth is a constituent and friend, escaped Nazi Germany on a kinder transport with his 8 year old brother when he was 6, while his 14 year old sister was not allowed on the transport. She and both his parents later perished at Auschwitz. We talked about our shared trauma and refugee stories, the importance of humane immigration policies (particularly towards children), gun violence prevention and the current war in Gaza.

Appalling. These acts are especially alarming in a climate of escalating hate and violence directed at our Jewish and Muslim communities. Our struggles are intertwined, and we must all stand up in support of those affected.
