Michigan Democrat State Senator Noah Arbit, whose district includes Temple Israel: “I wanna — your viewers to really understand that when we talk about anti-Semitism, it's — it's live. It's real. It's not something that's from the 1930s. It is a real, deadly threat against your Jewish neighbors all...

“What Do You Mean by Jewish State?” Abdul El-Sayed Pushes Back Katie Halper: So, speaking of AIPAC and people who are very supportive of Israel, there was an interesting interaction between you and Olivia Reingold of The Free Press. Olivia Reingold: Abdul El-Sayed, who is Muslim, walks a fine line on the Jewish state. He told the crowd, “All of us love and revere Jewish folk, our Jewish neighbors, the faith of Judaism.” Later that night, I asked him whether he believes in Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: I'd love to take the question, actually. What do you mean by Jewish state? If you can't define the question, I'm not going to answer your question. Katie Halper: So, it's fascinating to me that “What does a Jewish state mean?” can be a gotcha question. Do you think most people would have a different opinion if they understood what the current Jewish state of Israel means? Dr. Abdul El-Sayed: I think most people have in their heart of hearts a commitment to foundational equity—that everybody deserves equal rights to peace, dignity, and self-determination. The reason I asked that question is because it's very difficult to square that question with equal rights for Palestinian people. Whether you're defining a Jewish state based on an actual state religion, which means that some people don't belong as much because they may not belong to the same faith. And then if you're doing it by identity, the question becomes, well, is it the identity of the leadership or is it the majority of the country? All of these become really, really difficult to square with any semblance of equal rights. If your interpretation of the identity of a state would then allow that state to discriminate against people for how they pray or because of their ethnicity, I don't think most of us would be okay with that. And I'll say that about any country. I don't believe in ethno-states, I just don't. I believe in the equal human dignity of all people. I'm grateful that I live in the United States of America where there is no state religion, no state language, and no state identity. And I don't believe that people should be allowed to discriminate against one another or that we should have whole power structures based on who people are.

Zeteo's Mehdi Hasan on ITV's Peston, "Just watched the video before I came on air with you. It's horrific thing to see, both the attack and the police disarming, uh, of this guy" "We've seen the number of anti Semitic incidents go up in the uk. I just saw a statistic, I think, from the Community Security Trust that something like 22% of antisemitic incidents in 2022 or 15%" "A small minority of anti Semitic incidents a few years ago cited Israel" "And I think a majority of them now do" "So they, that is that illusion, as you put it there" "I've spent my entire adult life, my professional career as a journalist trying to separate the two out" "As you know, I'm a very outspoken critic of Israel and especially this Israeli government and this genocide in Gaza. But, uh, I go out of my way to tell people on my side of the argument, do not do, do not do that" "Do not conflate, Jews and Judaism with Israel or even with Zionism" "And look, it becomes more complicated because of course many people in the Jewish community do support Israel. And that becomes a problem" "I think we need to be able to have these conversations, but at the same time all agreeing that violence is never the solution" "Anti Semitic violence is horrific, just as any other kind of racist or political violence is. But it's a conversation that has to be had" "We can't hide away from this" "There's a big debate about the definition of anti Semitism, the IHRA definition. Where do you put Israel in that definition?" "Clearly some people who are anti Zionist cross the line into anti Semitism, but many people who do don't" "And I think we have to be a little bit more nuanced" "We hear about these marches, that these are anti Semitic marches, which is absurd. I know many people who go in those marches who aren't anti Semitic at all. I know many Jewish people" "But is there an anti Semitic placard in there somewhere? Sure" "Is there an anti Semitic persons in there? Sure" "We just got to be able to break this stuff up because people are not going to stop protesting Israel" "And I don't think it's fair to ask people to stop protesting Israel" "But I think it is fair to say that we need to be able to talk about this stuff in a more nuanced way and all agree as a baseline point to" "So no matter what your views on Israel are, you cannot blame Jews anywhere in the world for what the Israeli government does"

The State of Israel and its actions do not represent Judaism, the Jewish people, or the Torah. From the very beginning, authentic rabbis opposed the creation of the State of Israel. According to Judaism, Jews are forbidden to establish a sovereign state, rebel against nations, or wage wars. Judaism is a religion, not power or domination. Violence, oppression, war, and bloodshed are rejected by authentic Jewish teachings. Judaism forbids murder, aggression, and wars. The Torah does not permit Jews to occupy land by force or rule over others. Jews are commanded to live peacefully with their neighbors. The world increasingly recognizes that Israel is not a Jewish state and does not represent Judaism. As even the U.S. Vice President has stated: “Anti-Israel is not anti-Semitism.” The Israeli government oppresses religious Jews in the Holy Land. It is attempting to force religious Jewish youth into the Israeli army—an army forbidden by Jewish law. This is a direct assault on religious freedom. The goal is clear: to force all Jews to become Zionists and fight their wars. Anti-Zionist religious communities are pressured, threatened, and brutalized to make them abandon their beliefs. Those who refuse military service face arrests, beatings, and severe violence. These realities prove once again that the State of Israel and its leaders do not represent Judaism or the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of religious Jews are struggling to preserve their faith and basic human rights. Their only wish is to live at peace with their neighbors, as required by their religion, serve G-d and continue with their daily lives. The founders of the State of Israel were outspoken opponents of Judaism who attempted to erase it from Jewish life. Today’s leadership continues this path by persecuting Jews who refuse to violate the Torah. Benjamin Netanyahu is not a Jewish leader. He does not speak in the name of the Jewish people, and he does not speak in the name of the Holy Torah.
