Political Quotes

“Today, we stand against anti-Semitism and in solidarity with the hostages and their families. We stand together against the depravity of Hamas holding innocent men, women, and children hostage for 6 brutal months. We proclaim with one voice that the hostages must be returned immediately and unconditionally. We stand together against the surge in anti-Jewish and anti-Israel hate crimes. We proclaim with one voice that anti-Semitism and the delegitimization of Israel have no place in our country. My forebears in Ukraine learned through torment that hate may begin with solitary, anonymous acts of desecration, but it does not end there. Hate does not end unless we drag cowardly anti-Semitic actions into the daylight, bear witness as a community to their personal and penetrating effects, and resolve together that we are our neighbor's keeper. I am committed to all measures that will counter the scourge of anti- Semitism and that will hasten the return of the hostages. We must all strive for an America that is true to its ideals and an Israel that is secure and democratic, where in both countries ``all sit under their own vines and under their own fig trees, and no one shall make them afraid.''”
