It\u2019s all the more dangerous with Netanyahu himself meeting with Elon Musk, who has done more to normalize antisemitism than nearly anyone \u2013 including this weekend, during Rosh Hashana, when Musk promoted the same Great Replacement conspiracy theory that has fueled the murder of Jews and so many others in recent years.<br \/>\u00a0<br \/>All of this makes Jews less safe, while seeking to further erode democracy in both countries. And as an American Jew, it\u2019s simply heartbreaking to watch \u2013 and to worry that the two places we were told we\u2019d be safe may no longer offer that safety.<\/p>\n<p>The fight for democracy, here and in Israel, is our fight too as American Jews \u2013 and our safety, our future, and our values obligate us to make that clear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n<p><strong>About JCPA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2028\u2028The mission of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA) is to strengthen and leverage the Jewish community relations network across the nation to champion a just, democratic, and pluralistic society and advance the right of full inclusion of all members of our society, including Jews, free of discrimination, hate, and prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>\u2028Inspired by Jewish values of human dignity and equal justice under the law and an abiding commitment to vibrant and secure Jewish communities here, in Israel, and throughout the world, JCPA convenes and catalyzes its network to work with public officials, build deep relations, and engage in advocacy coalitions based on shared goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Immediate Release: September 18, 2023\u00a0NEW YORK &#8211; Jewish Council for Public Affairs CEO Amy Spitalnick released the following statement:\u00a0\u201cThis Rosh Hashana, we saw both Prime Minister Netanyahu and former President Trump take a page directly from the authoritarian playbook \u2013 attacking Jews who vote or peacefully protest against them as enemies of the state.\u00a0Former [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,10,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-homepage-news","category-news","category-press-release"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
