Spray painting “Hamas is coming” is not protest of Israel, its government, or PM Netanyahu. It is an explicit threat. There are many legitimate ways to criticize Israel and the PM’s visit. This, however, is clear antisemitism and celebration of violence.

Yesterday’s Trump campaign rally at MSG tripled down on this dehumanization — giving a platform to horrific racist, antisemitic, and other hateful extremism. This isn’t about partisan politics. All of us have a responsibility to call out this hate, no matter where it exists.

Jewish leaders are sounding the alarm on Project 2025: “a step toward authoritarianism, an erosion of freedom of religion, and the empowering of a Christian Nationalist movement… steeped in antisemitism.”
