.Bernie Sanders, Hamas' use of civilian areas as shields does not absolve Israel of its right to defend itself against terrorist threats.
Your argument is a classic appeal to futility.
.Bernie Sanders is blocking meaningful antisemitism legislation, including the Antisemitism Awareness Act, because he not only sympathizes with the campus protestors - he agrees with them.
By in-large, he's been their loudest mouthpiece in the Senate.
As we observe #YomHazikaron , we feel the weight of the devastating Hamas attack on October 7. Countless Israeli sons and daughters have sacrificed their lives to protect the innocent. May their memories be a blessing, and may Israel defeat its enemies decisively.
'An antisemitic virus is spreading across college campuses, but you can’t combat antisemitism, if you can’t—or won’t—define it.' Read @ndiament's new op-ed in the The Jewish Link on why the Senate must pass the Antisemitism Awareness Act: jewishlink.news/the-senate-mus…
.Sen. James Lankford is spot on. Holding antisemitic beliefs is legally protected, but when that bigotry escalates to threats or intimidation, it becomes criminal and must be met with consequences.
.Sen. James Lankford reminds us that every American has the right to live and practice their faith without fear. The Antisemitism Awareness Act will help ensure this right by empowering U.S. Department of Education and universities to combat antisemitism and protect religious freedoms.
Yesterday, I commended President Biden for his speech; he stressed that “it was Hamas that unleashed this terror” & started the war. But today’s threat to withhold arms from Israel betrays this truth. It undermines Israel’s ability to defeat Hamas & gives Hamas leverage & hope to survive.
Jewish Americans shouldn't have to practice our faith in fear. The historic $400 million in funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program will give our institutions the tools they need to shore up security and give our community the peace of mind we deserve. #AdvocacyWorks
Today, President Biden introduced additional measures to fight antisemitism. The @orthodoxunion has been strongly advocating for these measures and we look forward to seeing them be put into action.
