A great piece by my friend @LishiBaker, a student at @Columbia. Lishi clearly defines what Zionism is and isn’t, while debunking the notion that anti-Zionism and antisemitism are not connected. Lishi is a proud young Jewish activist. People like him give me hope for the future.

Thank you, @AndyOstroy, for having me on The Back Room podcast to talk about the alarming rise in antisemitism and hate. We need more honest, unflinching conversations like this to confront these growing threats. 🎧 Listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jon…

Today, I'm thinking of Pamela Waechter — she was a dedicated @JewishInSeattle volunteer and professional, murdered 19 years ago in a horrific antisemitic attack by an Islamist-motivated gunman at the @jfederations building in Seattle. May her memory always be a blessing.

A moving reminder that the Iranian people are not the same as the extremist Iranian regime. Given the opportunity, Israelis and Iranians share kindness, empathy and humanity. jpost.com/j-spot/article…

Great joining my friend @RepJoshG and @ADL CEO & National Director @JGreenblattADL to introduce the STOP HATE Act. We want to be in a country that makes clear antisemitism or any kind of racism is repugnant, unacceptable and not allowed in an online space.

The anguish in Gaza is absolutely overwhelming and truly heartbreaking. We hope that the measures announced this weekend will ensure that more help is on its way to get to the people of Gaza. But make no mistake — Hamas alone holds the power to end this nightmare. Hamas must…

Weeks after this tragedy, I stood with some of the parents on the very field where their children's lives were so brutally taken. The strength and hope these families showed amid unimaginable loss will forever inspire me. We stand with them then, now, and always.

There is no question: @RitchieTorres has been one of the most courageous and consistent friends in Congress fighting antisemitism in all its forms. He has stood with the Jewish community time and again. To combat antisemitism, we need leaders to stand together to ensure this…

After Oct. 7, antisemitism spiked globally - but for many Jews in France, it wasn’t new. Attacks, arson, and harassment have driven thousands to leave. Those who remain live with constant vigilance. This is the cost of unchecked hate. timesofisrael.com/the-shock-is-g…

.@RepJoshG and @RepDonBacon announced the reintroduction of the STOP HATE Act, which aims to crack down on antisemitism on social media. The legislators announced the reintroduction at a press conference alongside @JGreenblattADL. @marcrod97 reports: ji.news/3z4ea

There is deep urgency to free the 50 hostages and comprehensively address the tragic humanitarian aid challenges in Gaza. The human toll is staggering. As Steve Witkoff has made clear, Hamas, yet again, is opting to prioritize its brutally violent ideology to the detriment of…

Let’s be clear: we’re still in this fight. @ADL strongly believes in protecting free speech, but that doesn’t mean excusing hate disguised as activism. Respect for our community means standing up to antisemitism. jewishinsider.com/2025/07/jonath…

Today’s extremists exploit social media to recruit, radicalize and incite violence – often in violation of these platforms’ own terms of service. The STOP HATE Act is a vital bipartisan bill that will hold tech platforms accountable for hosting terrorist and extremist content.

Thank you, @ChrisCuomo, for your moral clarity here, and for calling out the hypocrisy. To those who claim to care to about persecuted communities - where is your outrage? The Druze in Syria are being violently targeted and slaughtered by groups affiliated with the…

A must-read piece by my colleague @AlexRosemberg on the dangerous erosion of international law and the perversion of the established legal concept of genocide. “A world where genocide means whatever political actors want—serves neither justice nor peace.” blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-dangerous-…

A group of Israeli teens were leaving a nightclub on Rhodes when they were chased, assaulted and forced to hide. Do I even need to say that assaulting Jewish people is unjustifiable? That it’s inexcusable to target people because of their identities? Why is this kind of…

I strongly condemn the recent anti-Israel vandalism targeting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's Bronx office. Regardless of our concerns about the Congresswoman's policies and the impact they have on the Jewish community, this is unacceptable. What this incident shows is the lengths to…

Anti-Israel protesters interrupted a Shabbat service in Munich chanting, "there is only one state" & "death to the IDF." In response, a group of citizens formed a human chain to protect the synagogue, showing that strength of community is louder than hate. algemeiner.com/2025/07/21/mun…

Next weekend, the Jewish community will mark Tisha B'Av - the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is a day to mourn the destruction of the First and Second Temples as well as numerous other tragedies that befell the Jewish people around the 9th of Av. The Great Deportation,…

'October 8' is a reminder of the tsunami of hate that seeped onto US college campuses immediately following the October 7 Hamas attacks. @wsachs, thank you for putting a spotlight on the vile antisemitism that Jewish students and educators face daily. ynetnews.com/article/hyswlt…
