As heinous as the student’s remarks to her Jewish classmates and their families were, it is even more reprehensible that the Dean of CUNY Law, Sudha Setty, would echo that hate speech with applause. To that end, I am calling on the Board of Trustees to immediately fire Dean Setty
Princeton University is not only sanctioning hate speech, but establishing fertile ground for a new generation of antisemitic thought leaders. I am calling on Princeton University to cancel the course in question immediately, fire its professor, Satyel Larson, and issue a public
The waves of hate that Jews have faced since October 7th is something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. The legislation introduced today is a critical step toward addressing antisemitism in the United States and around the world. American leadership is essential in this
I strongly condemn the false statement made by BBC News anchor Anjana Gadgil, alleging that "Israeli forces are happy to kill children." Such remarks perpetuate harmful stereotypes and contribute to the spread of Jew hatred. It is important to acknowledge the impact of past

I strongly condemn and deeply appalled by the deplorable actions of the hate group Goyim Defense League, that brazenly displayed swastika flags and spread antisemitic propaganda outside Georgia synagogues. This act of Jew hatred and bigotry is absolutely unacceptable. I call
I have never seen a president of the United States be as strong for the Jewish people as

exemplifies an ongoing pattern of bias against Israel, and we applaud those 26 countries, including the United States, who voted against this shameful resolution that seeks to isolate and demonise the Jewish state.
Israel just passed a remarkable anniversary, 75 years. I’m thinking of that amazing black-and-white photograph of the Leadership of the Yishuv gathering in the desert with shovels to start a city called Tel Aviv.
Can you imagine what they would have thought if they could see what
With a heavy heart, I strongly condemn the tragic loss of 14-year-old Binyamin Ahimeir, whose life was brutally taken in a heinous act of terror. This barbaric murder of an innocent child fills me with profound sadness and outrage. Such acts of terror have no place in any society
I denounce yet another antisemitic attack in NYC: an Israeli Jew in Brooklyn was stabbed after his alleged assailants asked if he was Jewish, and he replied, “yes.” Acts of violence and hate have no place in our society – yet it’s happening near-daily. This has got to stop. We
it is absolutely vital, that today, when you hear something that is anti-Jewish, when you see something, say something. And don’t be fooled, there is no difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. Hatred of Israel is just a hiding place for people who hate Jews.
Never let antisemitism or anti-Israel lies pass without a word. Antisemites are cowards and they back down when they are confronted. That is why I believe that they must always be confronted.
Antisemitism around the globe continues to surge as the number of Holocaust survivors, the last living witnesses to the atrocities of WWII , continues to diminish. All of us share the responsibility to preserve the memory of the victims & ensure that the past is never forgotten.
I am disgusted by the hatred,intolerance,bigotry and, yes, antisemitism displayed by ultra-Orthodox men & women who desecrated a Bat Mitzvah & violated the right of Lucia da Silva to practice our faith freely in what is supposed to be the beating heart of the entire Jewish people
I thank the German government for its commitment to pursuing justice after all these years,There must never be a statute of limitations on the crimes of the Holocaust.
I am deeply saddened and appalled by Friday’s terror attack in Jerusalem. 3 murdered, two of them are 6 and 8 year old brothers. My thoughts & prayers are with the victims, their families, the wounded & the people of Israel. We must stand together & condemn such acts of violence.
We are deeply troubled by what appears to be a coordinated attack on two synagogues, one of which has been burned to the ground, and a deadly attack on a church. An attack on the rights of individuals to practice their faiths freely and openly is an attack on humanity. As we

The scenes from Hezbollah’s attack on Majdal Shams are heart-wrenching. Twelve young lives were brutally taken and countless others forever altered. I have written to Sheikh Mowafaq Tarif, spiritual leader of the Druze in Israel, to extend condolences on behalf of Jews
if the Jewish people act as one, if we continue to watch out for each other, from Ukraine, to Israel, to the United States, and all points in between, then we will be so much stronger to face whatever comes our way.
Today’s hatred of Jews has set its focus on one target: the world’s only Jewish state,
#Israel
. They are concentrating their efforts in high schools, colleges and universities to turn the next generation, even Jewish students, against Israel.
The Ronald S. Lauder Foundation schools have taken in nearly 200 children who were forced to flee Ukraine due to the war.
For them & many others, this Passover will be unlike any before. We wish them all a happy, meaningful & safe Pesach.

The World Jewish Congress rejects the International Criminal Court's prosecutor’s illegitimate and misguided wish to issue arrest warrants for Israeli leaders. Make no mistake, there is no moral equivalence between the Hamas terror group’s barbaric Oct. 7 attacks and the response

It’s been said that the Hamas attack brought a divided Israel back together. But we cannot and we should not, rely on our enemies to bring us together as a people. Our unity must come from within.
It has to come from every one of us. If we fight amongst ourselves, we are helping

In these times of darkness, we support Israel’s inalienable right to self-defense and safety, while reaffirming our commitment to peace and unity among our people. We will not be defined by acts of terror, and we will stand together against those who seek to undermine the country
I was deeply saddened by the news that Shevach Weiss, one of Israel’s outstanding parliamentarians and diplomats and a survivor of the Holocaust, has passed away. His long and distinguished life mirrored the vicissitudes of Jewish history. May his memory be for a blessing.
Anti-Semitism is dramatically on the rise across the globe.
*COVID epidemic has brought out the same blood-libels first seen in the Middle Ages.*BDS mov. seeks to de-legitimize Israel and its lies are gaining traction, especially on the internet and on college campuses everywhere
Once again, Israelis have been murdered by a Jihadist terrorist, with the Bnei Brak slayings following on the heels of the killings of four Israelis in Beersheba last week and of two border police officers in Hadera on Sunday.
Any antisemitism must be fought whether it’s in the media,on the internet, campuses, or the street,and you must attack it with strength and resolve.A strong,powerful Jewish community,unwilling to be victims again is the only way that we will defeat this new wave of antisemitism.

With the surge of Jew-hatred around the world,it is important to mobilize all actors across the globe on a concrete path for action. Antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue; it is a phenomenon that threatens democracy, human right & inclusive societies,it must be combated by all.

Like the assassination of my good friend Israeli PM Rabin, the senseless murder of former PM Abe is a reminder of the increased danger posed by extremists across the political spectrum.
Jew hatred is a scourge on our society. I applaud the bipartisan majority in Congress who passed this resolution and call on platforms like Twitter, FB, TikTok and YouTube to help clean up the hatred on their platforms.
Once again, on Shabbat, a day of prayer and solemn contemplation, a synagogue is the target of a vicious attack during which its rabbi and congregants are being held hostage by an antisemite intent on harming all that is decent in our troubled world.
I concur with

; It is the only path toward enduring peace. I appreciate your guidance on this and various issues significant to Israel and the Jewish people.
A two-state solution is the only way to guarantee the long-term security of both the Israeli and the Palestinian people.

We will not give up on working toward this goal.

I am aghast and appalled by the horrific comments made by Rabbi Shmuel Eliyahu. It is inconceivable to me that any human being of any decency, let alone a man who presents himself as a spiritual leader, would not be devastated by the tragic deaths of by now more than 36,000.

The latest attack on Israel from the UNHRC, a UN body that contains a standing agenda item against only one country in the world, must be condemned by all & retracted in full. It claims to be addressing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict but fails to mention Hamas in its findings.
American excellence comes from its diversity and strength in character. Jewish Americans have made incredible contributions to our independence, civil rights, arts and culture. This fourth we highlight their place in the history books. 🇺🇸Happy 4th of July🇺🇸
I extend my deepest condolences to Mikhail Gorbachev’s family. President Gorbachev was a great statesman, an advocate for freedom and human rights, and a true friend of the Jewish people who through his actions enabled countless Soviet Jews to return to their heritage.
The text of the measure is as troubling as it is misguided, It exclusively refers to the Temple Mount by its Muslim term, erasing the more than 2,500-year-old connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem.
I was honored to meet with Pope Benedict three times at the Vatican, and each time was deeply moved by his affection and friendship for the Jewish people, his commitment to remembrance of the Shoah, and his unambiguous condemnation of Holocaust denial in any form.
Criticizing Israel is not necessarily antisemitism, but denying Jews their right to self determination and a seat at the table crosses the line.

The wake-up call on October 7th, reminiscent of Pearl Harbor and 9/11, made it clear that we need to protect the progress we’ve made as a society. As a Jewish individual, I feel a strong sense of unity with fellow Jews, and I know our Christian and Muslim friends stand with us

“Anti-Semitism” is a holdover from the 19th century, and it’s lost its meaning. No one cares when they hear Anti-Semitism. From now on, let’s all call it what it really is, the hatred-of-Jews … Jew Hatred!!
The Jewish people will survive.We have defied all the odds for thousands of years & trust me on this,we aren’t going anywhere. Let us work together as one people, one united people. That is the way we will defeat this new wave of antisemitism & that is the way we will go forward.

The surge of anti-Semitism on campus demands a deeper level of concern. These incidents aren’t just one-off vulgarities- they are signs of institutional Jew-hatred, leaving countless students feeling unwelcome and unsafe.
I thank the U.S. administration for its leadership on this issue, as well the many other good nations that strongly condemned the commission and call on all to join them in denying credibility to this anti-Israel slander.
Referral of this issue to the ICJ is yet another barrier to dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians.
Peace in the region can only be negotiated by the two sides directly involved.
