Benny Gantz, leader of the Blue and White Party in the Knesset and a minister without portfolio in Israel’s special “War Cabinet” hosted a delegation of people from AIPAC (the America Israel Public Affairs Committee) in Jerusalem on Tuesday.

The delegation was led by AIPAC president Michael Tuchin.

“As an outspoken leader of his community,” said Gantz, “Michael’s home was targeted and vandalized on Thanksgiving Eve in an unacceptable hate crime.”

“Facing an alarming rise in antisemitism globally and bigotry towards the one and only Jewish state,” he added, “we must all act to protect Jewish communities around the world.”

Benny Gantz is a former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces and a former Israeli defense minister.

“Especially in New York City, which prides itself on being a safe place for people of all faiths, the DMV needs to do better,” Sara Fellig’s attorney told JNS.
“I’m catching up,” Lior Haiat told JNS. “Many of the people I met last time are not in office anymore.”
“No sane person ‘advocates’ for the murder of children or civilians,” the U.S. ambassador said. “Even the allegation is sick and evil.”
“Targeting the operation of an out-of-school program just because it’s religious is a direct violation of the First Amendment,” stated Jeremy Dys, of First Liberty Institute, which represents LifeWise.
“I cannot express how much I love that my black kids get to watch Jews of Color talking about matzah-ball soup on Sesame Street,” said Carly Pildis about the video, which featured actress Kat Graham, who is black and Jewish.
British PM says attempts to foment division will not be tolerated, vows consequences and fast-tracks legislation targeting extremism and antisemitism.
