 [WND] As the State Department weighs its options on the possible U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state after the war in Gaza, Speaker Mike Johnson and several other prominent human rights advocates called for a greater commitment to protect the Israeli and Jewish people from antisemitism and violence both here in the U.S. and abroad.
Nothing escapes him.
Johnson on Wednesday addressed the annual International Religious Freedom Summit, a bipartisan gathering of coalition leaders, nonprofits, and human rights activists supporting the right of all individuals worldwide to worship in the faith of their choice or not to worship at all.
"Sadly, the same antisemitism that led to the Holocaust is now being spread through new tools and once again rearing its ugly head," the Louisiana Republican told the audience. "Since Hamas slaughtered thousands of Israeli citizens on October 7, we’ve seen a frightening and seemingly coordinated rise of antisemitism, including here on our own shores, and it’s been alarming."
Solutions, remedies, actions required? No, he didn't mention any.
All those who value religious pluralism, he said, need to demonstrate their solidarity with the Jewish people.
