“Words matter, and so does the willingness to draw a line when legitimate debate gives way to antisemitic tropes.
We commend @ParamountPics for speaking clearly and refusing to allow prejudice to masquerade as political or corporate criticism. At a time when antisemitism is too often minimized, rationalized or repackaged in more socially acceptable language, this kind of moral clarity matters.
Invoking Israel in an issue where it is completely irrelevant is a textbook case of obsession and demonization. Paramount was right to call it out.
More leaders and institutions should have the courage to call antisemitism what it is, regardless of who is spreading it.”
— Jim Berk, CEO, Simon Wiesenthal Center
Folks, I know a thing or two about vice presidential debates.
In 2008, I squared off against Governor Palin. And in 2012, I called out Congressman Ryan's malarkey.
I know @KamalaHarris will do a great job. Join me and tune in at 9 PM ET to cheer her on.
TRUMP: "We are going to win four more years. And then after that we'll go for another four years, because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years."
I'd like to thank all anti-Zionists for their warm greetings in honor of Hanukkah, which marks the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem, leading to the reestablishment of Jewish self-rule in Judea. Y'know what Jewish self-rule in Judea is called today? Israel. Happy Hanukkah.
You might've heard there's a new member of the Dodgers ownership team. His name is Alan Smolinisky. He and his family have an amazing story. Here's his firsthand account of a lifelong connection to the team: https://t.co/zWL9tWWH9x
Great to meet today in my office with California AIPAC leaders to discuss the need for a strong U.S.-Israel alliance, the right of Israel to defend itself, and my commitment to combat anti-Semitism in our country and around the world.
Charges of dual loyalty are anti-Semitic & insult millions of patriotic Americans –Jewish & non-Jewish– who stand by Israel. Our alliance with Israel is in the US national interest. We will not be deterred from exercising our right to advocate for a strong US-Israel relationship.
