One last video from Philadelphia, but perhaps one of the most important, especially given the haunting parallels to Kristallnacht (a more lighthearted video since we also all felt empowered yesterday as Jewish Americans!). This is the uncle of Huda’s owner. His father, the owner’s grandfather, survived Kristallnacht, when Jewish businesses, homes, and synagogues were attacked simply because they were Jewish. And here we are, 88 years later, witnessing a movement seeking to intimidate and boycott Jewish-owned businesses because of their connection to Israel. Yesterday’s events were not Kristallnacht, but the echoes of history should alarm every one of us. The desire to isolate, intimidate, and punish Jews must never be normalized. We know where hatred can lead. And we know why we must stand up against it. Never again means recognizing the warning signs before it’s too late. And even though Uncle Dave hasn’t eaten there in a while, the food is OUTSTANDING!!!! Am Yisrael Chai. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Wow! Philadelphia is rocking it against antisemitism and hate! Thousands of people are out supporting these restaurants. It’s incredible. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna be an Eagles fan but today I am green with envy! #Huda!

Don’t mess with Philly! Pro Israel community is out of force! Unbelievable. So proud to be Jewish. Am Yisrael Chai!!!!

Happy Diwali to my Indian friends!!!! I stand with you!

All these groups that are supporting today’s Nazi-like boycott in Philadelphia are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They say in the first line of their statement that this is not antisemitism but AntiZionism. THEY ARE SUPPORTING PEOPLE WHO ARE BOYCOTTING AMERICAN JEWISH OWNED BUSINESSES. That’s antisemitism!

This is fantastic and hilarious! And at the same time so sad for those that couldn’t give a crap about the BDS movement. Those people are being held hostage to these radicals!!!!

Listening to @AbdulElSayed on @Morning_Joe, two statements stood out as serious warnings for the Jewish community and the U.S.-Israel relationship. I’m not even sure how he can clarify these remarks, because he stated his positions so clearly. First, he has moved from opposing U.S. military aid to @Israel to calling for an end to all arms sales to Israel. What would that mean in practice? Israel continues to face existential threats from Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, and other armed groups. Ending arms sales raises serious questions not only about Israel’s ability to defend itself, but also about its access to the weapons and technologies that support its defensive systems and have helped protect at minimum tens of thousands of Israelis from being killed over the past three years. So now it’s his official policy: This has never been just about foreign aid. It is also about Israel’s ability to defend itself. And such a policy could have two devastating consequences for America: 1. Leave our most important ally in the the Middle East, the Jewish state increasingly vulnerable to those seeking its destruction. 2. Force Israel to turn to countries that are not aligned with the United States for the weapons it needs to survive. Both would be terrible outcomes and disastrous American foreign policy. Second, El-Sayed spoke of separating “Judaism and the Jewish people and Israel.” I have heard him speak about growing up surrounded by a Jewish community, attending bar and bat mitzvahs and Passover Seders, and having many Jewish friends. Yet he also makes clear his opposition to Zionism. His remarks reminded me of a conversation I had a few months after the war began. I was part of a group of Jews and Muslims who came together to see how we could rise above the divisions and find common ground. One member of the group expressed a sentiment strikingly similar to El-Sayed’s: “I grew up in a Jewish neighborhood. I went to a hundred bar and bat mitzvahs. All my friends were Jewish. I’m not antisemitic. I’m just against Zionism.” That conversation has stayed with me because it raises a fundamental question: What does it mean to embrace Jewish people and Jewish traditions while rejecting the Jewish people's 4,000 year connection to the land of Israel and Zionism? It is a narrative that must change. For decades, elements of the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel, BDS, and delegitimization movements have worked to drive a wedge between American Jews and Israel, while seeking to marginalize those who publicly support the Jewish state. The statements above are used to make Jews feel uncomfortable in settings. One can disagree with Israel's government, oppose its policies, and criticize its leader s without denying the Jewish people's history, identity, or connection to their ancestral homeland of Israel.

What a night for @DemMaj4Israel. Too many faces to post but here is just a small sample of a great group of Democrats who believe in the US-Israel partnership. A relationship that benefits our amazing country in so many ways! So proud of the incredible leadership and staff of this organization. You should be too! Hope you will support! secure.actblue.com/donate/dm…
