We urge @AOC to refrain from using terminology evocative of the Holocaust tonvoice concerns about contemporary political issues, as per our letter below.

- This is not our way. We include under our umbrella every component of the Jewish community from the most Orthodox to the most liberal. We affirm with confidence that the way of the Jewish people has never been and will never be to call for genocide.
- Replying to @JCRCNYWe unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself and dismantle the Hamas terrorist organization. But right now we are mourning the lives lost in our community, not wishing the same fate on others
- Incredible scene from tonight’s New York Stands with Israel rally- Am Israel Chai 💙🇮🇱

- Well before Congress, NYC Council Member @RitchieTorres led with integrity. In that spirit, he visited & studied Israel, drawing his own conclusions. All our Representatives should follow his lead.There’s a false narrative that I am pro-Israel because of “the Jewish lobby” or “Jewish money” or whatever antisemitic tropes critics wish to invoke. Left unmentioned is the fact that I have been pro-Israel for nearly a decade—long before I ever thought of running for Congress.
- A much needed moment of levity and joy for our community tonight at the United for Israel rally 💙

- In lieu of an in-person Congressional Breakfast @JCRCNY is hosting #CongressionalConversations w/ Members of the NY Congressional Delegation in dialogue w/ JCRC-NY CEO Rabbi Michael Miller Episode 14 features @AOC D-NY-14 WATCH: youtu.be/NpcCC5bhb7M
- Statement by Michael S. Miller, Executive Vice President and CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York (JCRC-NY) on NYC DSA Questionnaire: That the NYC DSA would require candidates to pledge, if elected, not to travel to Israel is despicable.This is from @nycDSA questionnaire for 2021 City Council candidates. It asks them to pledge not to travel to Israel.
- Monday night's actions amount to blatant intimidation and incitement to violence. Signs claiming "Zionists are not Jews and not Humans'' is literally dehumanizing. Chanting "Long live the Intifada" is a rallying cry for terrorism & bloodshed. See our full statement below.
01:06We helped bring @novaexhibition to NYC to show the unspeakable horrors that occurred on 10/7. Yesterday’s so-called protest was abhorrent. - Tomorrow- New York Stands With Israel. Join us and our partners at @UJAfedNY and those tagged below, tomorrow at 5pm in Dag Hammarskjold Plaza to stand in solidarity and show our support for Israel.
