Jews can’t fight antisemitic attacks alone
It’s not just up to Jews to stop antisemitism. It’s up to non-Jews to help us and stand against hate. With antisemitic violence on the rise in the last few years, according to incidents tracked by the Anti-Defamation League, political leaders and policymakers have a responsibility to act. Antisemitism is not a Jewish problem; it is a national problem that requires a unified response.
‘Angry. Furious. Shocked.’ A DC Jewish Leader on the Shooting That Shook His Community
A lot of people are just up in arms that a young couple could be walking out of an event – which was actually devoted to discussing humanitarian assistance – and somebody brazenly just shot them and killed them, somehow thinking that killing an innocent couple on the streets of Washington because they’re Jewish is going to bring about any change in Middle East policy.

Hannah Einbinder is a sparkling young Hollywood performer currently starring on one of television’s top comedies, “Hacks.” On the show, she portrays a young comedy writer — a role for which she has deservedly received high praise.
