Grateful to MoCo Councilmembers @GabeAlbornoz1 & @NataliFGonzalez for denouncing @CASAforall's vicious and ill-informed Antisemitic rant, stating that #CASA "has made an already emotional and horrific situation in our community worse." https://t.co/aQVj5vmj9Z

[Councilmember Kate Stewart (she/her) @cmkatestewart]

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.

I had a great time at @greatdaywash celebrating #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth @AJCGlobal

[Alan Ronkin @alanronkin]

Catch me on @greatdaywash this morning at 910 talking about Jewish American Heritage Month @AJCGlobal

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

We applaud the @USCCB for their unequivocal condemnation of violence and hate speech directed at the Jewish community.

Strong interfaith alliances make all of our communities safer and are vital in the fight against hate.

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.

@MoCoCouncilMD Thank you for standing up against antisemitism and hate!

[Mohamed “ME” Elibiary @MohamedElibiary]

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. https://t.co/1wjHg1ODEq

We wish our Muslim friends and partners a blessed and peaceful month of #Ramadan.

@Edelman11 You scared the hell out of me! Shabbat Shalom!

[Alan Ronkin @alanronkin]

A tragedy. She was one of a kind.

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.

[Blake Flayton @blakeflayton]

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.

[Dr. Laura Shaw Frank @shawfrank]

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.

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

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:

Amen.

[FBI Washington Field @FBIWFO]

Last week, #FBIWFO was honored to host a presentation by the @AJCGlobal about the state of anti-Semitism in the U.S.

[Alan Ronkin @alanronkin]

Another sickening reminder of the rise of antisemitism in our country. #itsnotok @AJCGlobal

[Bo Erickson Reuters @BoKnowsNews]

There are hand-drawn swastikas all over the entrance to Union Station in DC. Almost every column:

@blakeflayton Dude, you know how to live!

[American Jewish Committee @AJCGlobal]

The Holocaust is not up for debate.

#Holocaust denial and distortion spread the false idea that Jews invented or exaggerated their own genocide.
