March 1, Austin, TX: A gunman wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the words “Property of Allah” killed two and wounded 14 others in a popular watering hole near a Jewish neighborhood.

March 3, Brooklyn, NY: A Jewish man was assaulted and beaten, his Yarmulke stolen while riding the city train service.

March 7, New York City: Two men affiliated with ISIS threw homemade explosive devices (IEDs) into a crowd of peaceful Jewish demonstrators. Thankfully, the devices failed to explode, and no lives were lost.

March 8, Teaneck, NJ: A Jewish man was shot by pellet guns for refusing to state that he supported Palestine.

March 8, San Jose, CA: A local attorney and two other men yelled F*** Jews as they beat two Israeli Americans for speaking Hebrew outside a restaurant.

March 12, West Bloomfield, MI: A Hezbollah operative drove an explosive loaded truck into Temple Israel Synagogue and Hebrew School, then opened fire with a rifle. Thankfully, temple security guards were able to prevent the madman from claiming even one Jewish life.

March 28, San Luis Obispo, CA: Five white men broke into the Jewish fraternity Alpha Epsilon Pi at California Polytechnic State University, hurling antisemitic slurs and punching one of the Jewish fraternity members before fleeing.

Meanwhile, Jewish synagogues around the world have been attacked, and American Jewish communities are taking protective measures.

In Miami Beach, home to the world’s second largest population of Jews outside Jerusalem, authorities have ordered round-the-clock police protection for Jewish temples, community centers, and neighborhoods.

Sadly, people like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens — ever in search of money-making “rage bait” social media hits — are fueling the fires of antisemitism. And congressional Jew-haters, like Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, continue to spew their hatred.

This Passover, let’s insist that our government PUSH BACK AGAINST THE HATE. Stand with your Jewish neighbors by faxing Congress now.
