Addressing Antisemitism and Education Reform
We're in the fight of our lives, and this is how we will fight
back. First, we must use social media because
that's what young people follow.
And I must tell you, tell them that you must tell them the truth.
Israel must finally get serious about public relations.
If Israel can't tell its amazing story to the world,
then its enemies will, and they've done it now.
We must expose every renegade teacher and their unions.
We must expect moral courage from our
political officials, not excuses.
We must rebuild education around truth, not slogans and lies.
We will have to reinvent how we teach the history of the Jewish
people because it's not working. Too many young people have
never heard of the Holocaust. The World Jewish Congress has produced
some
excellent films that explain what happened.
We want to show them in classrooms everywhere in the United States.
And any candidate running for a seat in this building,
whether for Congress or Senate, whose platform includes
antisemitism,
we will target them
as they target us. Accordingly,
we will start a fund to help their opponents.
We cannot poss- we cannot possibly sit by and let
anti-Zionists determine our future.
None of this will, will be easy. It will take time and effort from all
of us, and Jews cannot fight this fight alone.
Frankly, we shouldn't have to, because this is not a
Jewish issue. It's a democratic issue. It's a moral issue.
It's a human issue. Let us, let us build a coalition so
strong, so united, so determined that no extremist
movement can fracture it. And above all,
let us, let us be bridge builders, unshakable, unapologetic,
by-- so that the next generation inherits a
world defined
not by hatred, but by humanity.
