The Simon Wiesenthal Center today hailed the overwhelming adoption of Israel’s United Nations Resolution aimed atcombating growing Holocaust denial...
| As a barrage of Hamas missiles fired at Israel in the last 24 hours — one every three minutes — and the riots and violence against Israeli Jews, the SWC reiterates: |
| We stand with Israel and its unequivocal right to defend herself against violence by the Palestinian leadership. As more than700 rockets target Israel and Jews are attacked on the streets of the Holy Land, Israel must do what every other nation would do to safeguard its citizens. They should not succumb topolitical theater and social media screeds that demonize Israelis, while people like Linda Sarsour bestow a moral blank check on genocide-seeking Hamas. |

| SWC Condemns BLM Leader: |
| |
| SWC condemns the lurid statement by BLM leader Shaun King for posting a video and statement that turns the truth on its head.The fire next to al Aqsa was set by Palestinian terrorists, not Israelis. Young Israelis were celebrating at a festival next to the Western Wall below al Aqsa, unconnected to the Muslimsite. SWC urges everyone who truly cares about peace in the Holy Land to loudly condemn the genocidal Hamas that uses its civilians as cannon fodder and human shields. |
