    A thread🧵: Let's talk about #antisemitism. It manifests on the right. It manifests on the left. It can even manifest in the center. It's in politics. It's on college campuses. It's seen at the core for many, if not most, forms of extremism. It's been mainstreamed. It's in media.

    It doesn't matter where #antisemitism is showing up. WE MUST ALL condemn it every single day. The Jewish community is hurting. Please use your voice to speak up, share facts, and stand up against the vile hatred. adl.org/research-cente…

    It's called the oldest hatred for a reason. Yet so many don't seem outraged by it even in 2022. @ADL's annual audit of antisemitic incidents in 2021 showed the highest number on record since tracking started. 2,717-an average of more than 7 per day, a 34% increase year over year.

    My youngest child is both Jewish and LGBTQ+. I fear for her/their safety every single day. #Antisemitism and Anti-LGBTQ+ hate are like a Venn diagram of extremism and hate. That’s why I will never stop fighting for her/their rights. #LGBTQIA

    359 anti-Israel incidents reported in 2021-22 academic year on college campuses. And these are related to anti-Zionism and anti-Israel rhetoric well beyond legitimate criticism of the Israeli government. Read the report here:

    Fighting for what is right is hard. Fighting antisemitism is hard. Some days I’m exhausted. I wonder if I’m making a difference. But tonight I gave a presentation on antisemitism & extremism at an interfaith event & it gave me hope. We are stronger if we speak out together!

    At last night’s @IsraelinUSA Hanukkah reception, as I walked in and out, protesters got literally in my face to try to video me and call me and others “murderers” and “Nazis” and some even threatened harm. We will continue to fight against this hatred and bring home hostages.

    At last night’s @IsraelinUSA Hanukkah reception, a somber event focused on hostages still in Gaza, we were harassed by screaming protesters. Our Regional Director @mermirmanweisel spoke out today about the importance of being a light in this darkness. #BeTheLight #BringThemHome

    The Senate advanced the bipartisan #RespectForMarriageAct, which will protect over 1 million American families. Securing the freedom to marry is an important & necessary safeguard that must be preserved in federal law.
