The first priority for me when I came
into office was to have a hearing
exposing the anti-semitism on our
college campuses. And so it's really
important that we a expose what's going
on in these campuses, that we have
consequences for the perpetrators like
the professors and a lot of the
students, a lot of whom are foreign
students, and that we hold leadership
accountable on these campuses. And
unfortunately, there aren't too many
leaders and public officials who are
doing that because they're afraid and
they're playing politics with Jewish
lives.
So, a lot of people, especially in local
politics, don't want to talk about
Israel. Uh, but I'm going to continue
talking about Israel, how important it
is, not just for the Jewish community,
but for the world. Some people don't
realize that Israel is fighting our
battle. Israel is a light unto the
nations, and it is a beacon of light and
hope in the Middle East. Everyone around
Israel wants to kill them. And not just
Israel, they want to get rid of America
and Western values. Every time you find
protesters and riers talking about
Israel, criticizing Israel, saying they
want to get rid of Israel, those people
are always going to be anti-America and
anti-western values. That's why it
cannot just be the Jewish people and the
Jewish politicians talking about
supporting Israel. Everyone has to
support Israel. all of the politicians,
the entire world, and we need more
people to speak up for Israel.
