For

#AntiSemitism
is on the rise.
@realDonaldTrump
using Israel to defend his blatant racism only hurts the Jewish community. He doesn't speak for any of us.
We call on ALL leaders across the political spectrum to condemn these racist, xenophobic tweets & using Jews as a shield.
This is the sound of illberalism, intolerance. Listen closely: it's a danger not just to immigrants and minorities but to all Americans. Put politics aside. Time for leaders from all parts of society, people from all walks of life, to step up and say: enough.
Saying you “like Hitler,” “love the Nazis,” and spending all your time with a white supremacist makes one thing clear: Ye is a vicious antisemite. His comments today on InfoWars are not just vile and offensive: they put Jews in danger.
We are devastated. Jews targeted on Shabbat morning at synagogue, a holy place of worship, is unconscionable. Our hearts break for the victims, their families, and the entire Jewish community.

As I said earlier this week, “decolonization”, “from the river to the sea” and similar euphemisms necessarily imply genocide.
Clear calls for extreme violence are against our terms of service and will result in suspension.
When the Jewish community faced an unprecedented wave of bomb threats earlier this year, Andrew McCabe was an ally who worked closely with us in a time of need and labored to solve the case. We are indebted to him for his patriotism, professionalism & public service.
I'm exhausted & angry. Angry with a world that allowed the dehumanization of Israelis, sanitized the evil of antizionism & dignified terrorism as ‘resistance.’ As I said on
@Morning_Joe

We cannot allow the historic & horrific events of the past 48 hours to fade without significant consequences. In our 100+ years of history,
@ADL
has never called for the President of the United States to be removed from office. Today, that changes.
We don't need the former president, who curries favor with extremists and antisemites, to lecture us about the US-Israel relationship. It is not about a quid pro quo; it rests on shared values and security interests. This "Jewsplaining" is insulting and disgusting.

It's astonishing that, when asked a simple question, will you condemn white supremacists,
@POTUS
responded - "The Proud Boys should stand back and stand by." Trying to determine if this was an answer or an admission.
@POTUS
owes America an apology or an explanation. Now.
Chris Wallace: "Are you willing, tonight, to condemn white supremacists and militia groups and to say that they need to stand down..."
Trump: "Proud Boys, stand back and stand by! But I'll tell you what, somebody's got to do something about antifa and the left."

It’s unclear who
@POTUS
is claiming Jews would be “disloyal” to, but charges of disloyalty have long been used to attack Jews. As we’ve said before, it's possible to engage in the democratic process w/o these claims. It's long overdue to stop using Jews as a political football.
As we've said before, Trump used Twitter to foment intolerance, issue threats and incite a violent attack against the US government. Moreover, he has shown no indication that he would do anything different if given the opportunity.
As we witness an alarming rise in

The brutal attack by Hamas against Israelis is absolutely no excuse for anti-Muslim hate here at home. We must all reject hate-fueled violence everywhere, full stop, and strive to live by the highest moral standards and not sink to the level of terrorists. We pray for the victim…

There is no excuse for this kind of anti-semitism. There is no explanation for this kind of hate. And there is no justification as to why so-called leaders would soft-pedal such slander or choose to remain silent.

Alarming that Jeanine Pirro is repeating the appalling anti-immigrant rhetoric used by white supremacists. Her words echo their hateful "replacement theory" and deserve condemnation from all sides.
Whether or not you like their politics, telling people born in the US to “go back where they came from” is flat-out racist & telling naturalized citizens the same is xenophobic. As Jews, we're familiar with this kind of prejudice. It has no purpose but to divide us & spread hate.
In this moment, we need all people, regardless of politics or affiliation, to denounce

Hate is hate and must always be unequivocally condemned without condition, exception, or linkage.

You can have strong opinions on the Middle East, but canceling Jewish religious celebrations, terrorizing Jewish business owners, and silencing Jewish students isn't political. It is **appalling** and should outrage every single American.

David Duke, former KKK leader, finally has been removed from Twitter for his unending antisemitism, racism, and hate. Social platforms should be a place where all users can be free of the

The amount of hate in Linda Sarsour's latest diatribe is shocking. She slanders the founders of Israel as supremacists, invoking a centuries-old anti-Semitic trope when she describes them as having believed that Jews are “supreme to everybody else.”
To accuse Jewish members of not being involved in “justice” is ignorant of their records, and especially offensive when it’s an effort to distract from your own
