The work our @BnaiBrith volunteers do proactively w/ first responders is more important than ever
On #September11, the Isadore Garsek B’nai B’rith Lodge in Fort Worth, Texas honored the Benbrook Fire Department, remembering their New York firefighter brothers and sisters who were the first to respond on 9/11/2001—many giving their lives while saving others.
As a token of appreciation for these first responders, lodge leader Sophia Nason cooked a traditional Eastern European Jewish meal to feed all three shifts, 40 meals in total. Snacks, desserts and fruit were also delivered to the fire station.
Representing the Lodge were Board members Michael Kuptsin, Rich Hollander and Alex Nason, along with Lodge member Polina Kuptsin.
The antisemitism horseshoe is playing out in real time — from New York to Paris and beyond. My latest opinion piece in @FoxNews on behalf of @BnaiBrith foxnews.com/opinion/antisemi… #FoxNews

“HOY ES MÁS FÁCIL SER JUDÍO EN ARGENTINA QUE EN LA MAYORÍA DE LOS PAÍSES DEL MUNDO”
Evan Bernstein, nuevo director ejecutivo de B'nai B'rith International, afirmó durante una visita a Buenos Aires que Argentina ofrece condiciones más favorables para la comunidad judía que la mayoría de los países. Destacó el respaldo del gobierno de Milei y sostuvo que las agresiones antisemitas disminuyeron en comparación con otros lugares. También contó que debió cambiar de escuela a su hijo de 16 años por el acoso que sufría.
Testimonios de Evan Bernstein
“Sin dudas lo que se está viviendo aquí es especial. Ha bajado mucho el nivel de agresiones antisemitas en comparación con muchos países del mundo".
"Argentina tiene un gobierno como el de Javier Milei que es muy amigable y apoya a la comunidad judía. Ojalá hubiera más gobiernos que respalden como lo hace el argentino. Hoy es más fácil ser judío en Argentina que en la mayoría de los países del mundo”.
“No conozco ninguna otra religión en el mundo que tenga que hacer tanto para protegerse como la comunidad judía".
"Hay que tener en cuenta que sólo representa un 0,2 por ciento de la población mundial, sin embargo, parece que el judío es el malo de la película, el depositario de todos los males. Vemos lo que sucede en sociedades modernas como en España, Italia, Alemania, Inglaterra, donde los ataques son constantes”.
“En los años '60, en Estados Unidos, el antisemitismo era del 21 por ciento, mientras que en 2020, ese porcentaje cayó al 13. ¿Qué significa un 13 por ciento de la sociedad norteamericana? Casi 45 millones de habitantes que hoy se comunican de una manera que en los '60 no se podía. Lo que hacen las redes sociales es amplificar ese odio, porque hoy cualquiera baja línea. Por otra parte ya no hay más gente moderada, los que lo eran se polarizaron en los extremos. Para la izquierda somos colonizadores, genocidas, sionistas y no se nos considera una minoría; para la derecha somos los que controlamos los bancos, los avaros, los que tenemos cuernos”.
“Tuve una infancia y adolescencia tranquilas, pero mis hijos no la van a pasar bien. Yo debí cambiar de colegio este año a mi hijo de 16 años, por el acoso que estuvo sufriendo. Estudiantes de derecha y de izquierda agrediendo diariamente a mi hijo, sin ningún tipo de apoyo de la escuela”.

In an era of record-breaking political polarization, there is one disturbing point of convergence between the far left and far right: blaming the Jews.
In a new op-ed for @FoxNews, B’nai B’rith CEO @bernstein_evan explores how political extremes that seem worlds apart are finding common ground in antisemitism, and how ignoring it on either side puts Jewish safety at risk.

‘Indefensible,’ Jewish leaders say of NYC comptroller opting to abort city’s Israel Bonds investments.
The reversal “sends an unfortunate signal at a time of rising antisemitism and sustained efforts to isolate Israel economically,” @bernstein_evan, CEO of @BnaiBrith International, told JNS.

B’nai B’rith International is appalled by the selection of Navi Pillay for the Nobel Peace Prize, given her record of anti-Israel bias and defense of antisemitic rhetoric within the United Nations.
This decision undermines the integrity of a prize meant to honor peace and sends a troubling and damaging message at a time of record-breaking global antisemitism.

Three years later, we remember all those who should still be here: the innocent lives taken that day and the hostages who did not come home alive.
We stand with the survivors, with every family and with the entire nation of Israel.

Shameful: The Green Party of England and Wales has adopted “Zionism is racism” as official policy, the first major party in Europe to do so.
This is a party with pretensions to power—one that came second in vote share in this year’s English local elections.
And yet, under the guise of anti-racism, it has resurrected one of the most notorious attempts to delegitimize Jewish self-determination.
The equation has a dark history. In 1975, after years of Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda, the U.N. declared Zionism “a form of racism and racial discrimination”—branding the Jewish movement for national self-determination as inherently racist.
The resolution was overwhelmingly repealed in 1991.
There was a reason this equation was ultimately rejected. Because self-determination does not become racism when the people claiming it are Jews.
For a mainstream British political party with ambitions of government to revive this discredited rhetoric is profoundly alarming.
More troubling still, the motion calls for a single Palestinian state across all of “historic Palestine”—de facto eliminating Israel—and for the decriminalizing of the terror group Palestine Action.
We stand with British Jews who have warned what this decision means for their place in political life. bbc.com/news/articles/c6jdm5…

“Israel is ‘apartheid’ even as Arab citizens vote, sit in the Knesset, and serve on the Supreme Court—while hereditary bondage continues in Mauritania… and a Gaza neighborhood has long been known, locally, as the slaves’ quarter.”

Today is the National Memorial Day for the Genocide of Lithuanian Jews, marking 83 years since the liquidation of the Vilna Ghetto.
May we always remember the more than 90 percent of Lithuania’s Jews who were murdered in the #Holocaust, over 40,000 of whom were confined to the Vilna Ghetto. 🕯️
