The Republican Jewish Coalition has announced a new initiative during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago to monitor speakers and see who, if any, advocate for the Jewish state.
“Last week, the RJC officially challenged every speaker at the Democratic Convention in Chicago to ‘Praise Israel,’” the group wrote on X on Sunday. “If any speaker from the main stage asks the crowd to cheer if they support Israel, the RJC will donate to plant 1,800 trees in Israel in their name to showcase their standing with the Jewish state.”
RJC further said on Monday that it would launch “Praise Israel Watch” to count the number of individuals who publicly praise the Jewish state and publish a tally at the end of each day.
The goal, it noted, is that “speakers in Chicago will take us up on our challenge, and follow the RJC and Republican Party’s lead in standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel at this critical time for the Jewish state and the American Jewish community.”
