Dear friend, ? Congregation Beth Israel in Chico was attacked on Wednesday afternoon. A vandal burned an antisemitic sign in what police are calling a hate crime. ? This attack, like all antisemitism, was unacceptable. ? We have a problem with antisemitism in America, and it seems to be growing. Most notably, Kanye West was rightfully shunned by sponsors after making antisemitic comments. Now, we have this attack in Chico and the FBI has arrested a suspect for making threats against a synagogue in New Jersey. ? The North State has a troubled history of antisemitism as well. The 1999 firebombing of Temple B'Nai Israel in Sacramento was perpetrated by two white supremacists from the Redding area.? ? To read more about antisemitic?in Northern California, or to donate, visit the Central Pacific Chapter of the ADL. ? If elected, I will do everything in my power to counter far-right antisemitism in the United States. This should not be a partisan issue, yet it is painfully obvious which party now attracts the antisemitic vote. ? |
