The terrorist attacks in Israel against innocent women and children are horrifying. My heart goes out to the victims and families and praying for the safe return hostages. – at Manhattan, NY

We are sickened by the antisemitic graffiti found in Bethesda today. The Jewish community will not be intimidated by these despicable messages of hate. Our Washington, DC office is in touch with local officials and tracking the situation.

Relaxing on Jersey shore reading this article on the new millennial Marranos by @alanronkin reminded me of a talk @AJCGlobal Dallas invited me to give young Jews years ago where my comments anticipated this development growing amongst young American Jews. ajc.org/news/when-it-comes-t…

When It Comes To Israel, Millennials Are The New Marranos

Most American Jewish millennials (ages 25 to 40) express support for Israel, consider it an important part of their Jewish identities and remain emotionally attached to the Jewish state, according to...

The global Jewish community lost a titan this week-someone who was the definition of beauty, humility, community, strength & #yiddishkite. Cheryl Aronson may your memory be a blessing for all just as your life was a blessing for those you touched, incl me @CJPBoston @JewishBoston

I understand campaigning against occupation. I don't understand Amnesty's sudden conviction that our self-determination is an inherently immoral idea. Virtue signaling is fun, but raging against our identity doesn't seem a great way to convince us of something.

If you don’t think the flattening of the Jews into “white people” is tethered to the rise of anti-Zionism, you’re wrong. Westerners impose their understandings of racism onto Israel/Palestine, and if the Jews are only white people, they have no claim to indigenous sovereignty.

Race is a construct. Racism is using the fake construct of race to oppress others. @WhoopiGoldberg - you may not think Jews are a race. But, in Hitler's eyes, we were a race. And that's why the Nazi regime murdered 6 million of us. You have deeply hurt us by denying this.

We vehemently reject the biased report on Israel by @AmnestyUK that inexplicably focuses on one aim: to demonize and delegitimize Israel. Read our joint statement with @Conf_of_Pres, @ADL, @BnaiBrith, @AIPAC, @JFederations:

Opinion | The targets of hate can’t be left to fight back alone

Vast numbers of Americans know in their guts what is wrong, but too many comfortably embrace the status quo and look away.

There are hand-drawn swastikas all over the entrance to Union Station in DC. Almost every column:
The Holocaust is not up for debate. #Holocaust denial and distortion spread the false idea that Jews invented or exaggerated their own genocide. Learn how to recognize these tropes with AJC's Translate Hate: ajc.org/translatehate/Holoca…

Holocaust denial / Holocaust distortion | #TranslateHate

What is holocaust denial? Denial of the Holocaust is not only dangerous, but antisemitic. Here's everything you need to know about Holocaust denial and distortion.
