We are deeply concerned by the relaunch of the Oath Keepers, an extremist militia known for racist and antisemitic ideology.
The group’s conspiratorial worldview reflects a long pattern of antisemitism fueling authoritarian movements, turning fear into justification for violence.

Our President, Jonathan Jacoby, wrote this to the ADL's Jonathan Greenblatt following the election of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
"I am deeply worried by the divisive and overheated reactions I’ve seen — from you and from others who speak in our community’s name. …This is not the way.”

I will not take my lessons on what is best for the Jews from Donald Trump.
Donald Trump has no business telling Jewish people how we should vote — and his constant attacks on Jews who don’t align with his politics and ideology are dangerous and appalling.

Everyone from Sen. Schumer to Sen. McConnell has called out the Heritage Foundation for bending a knee to Jew hate.
This has nothing to do with political affiliations. This is about telling Heritage it is not OK to normalize and legitimize white supremacy, Holocaust denial, antisemitism and hatred.

Today, the Heritage Foundation announced it's comfortable with Holocaust denial.
That is not hyperbole.
The same group behind “Project Esther” is refusing to distance itself from Jew hater and Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes and Tucker Carlson (who hosted said Jew hater on his show this week).

THREAD: This week, Tucker Carlson hosted one of the most dangerous antisemites in America. Nick Fuentes leads the “Groyper” movement, a large online hate network devoted to building a white Christian nationalist America.
It marks a serious escalation in how antisemitism reaches the mainstream.

Enough trolling and making light of antisemitism. This past month alone saw a swastika flag appear in Rep. Dave Taylor's office, Young Republican Club members making gas chamber jokes, and an actual nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel saying he has a "Nazi streak" in him.

May their memories be a blessing.

“I didn’t know” isn’t enough. Real accountability means showing how he’s learned and what he’s doing to confront hate.
