Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to submit for the Record a statement on my concerns about the troubling increase in anti-Semitism in the Middle East, Europe, and, I regret to say, here in the United States, particularly on college campuses in recent years. Some have likened the freedom and safety of the Jewish people to ``the canary in the coal mine'' of a nation's religious freedom and tolerance, meaning, if the Jewish population is threatened, so too will others in time. For the religious freedom and safety of all people, we must speak out against these disturbing trends and anti-Semitic acts around the world. I am also calling for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights to update the 2006 report on anti-Semitism on college campuses to review recent trends and look at what recommendations, if any, have been implemented. ____________________”
