We remember: On May 4, 1970, armed Palestinian terrorists broke into the Israeli Embassy in #Paraguay , firing on embassy personnel and murdering Edna Pe'er in the attack.

In Edna's memory we will always fight #antisemitism and anti-Israel bias across the globe.

#OTD we remember Golda Meir, born May 3, 1898 in #Kyiv . A true ground-breaker: Meir was the first woman prime minister of Israel.

We applaud the U.S. House of Rep’s passing of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, adopting @theIHRA anti-Semitism definition on college campuses. Amid campus protests, legislation safeguarding Jewish students from discrimination is crucial.

Our statement: bnaibrith.org/passage-of-ant…

We thank @potus for denouncing anti-Semitism on college campuses and clarifying that a right to protest doesn't justify discrimination or violence.

“There should be no place on any campus, no place in America, for anti-Semitism or threats of violence against Jewish students.”

As leaders like Gustavo Petro continue to attack Israel, anti-Semites feel empowered and supported. Eduardo Kohn discusses how their incitement has dangerous consequences for the Jewish community across Latin America.

As Israel faces threats from many fronts, #OTD we remember Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Zionism and visionary of the State of Israel. We remember the man, born May 2, 1860, who dedicated his life to ensuring a home for the Jewish people.

We applaud the House for overwhelmingly passing the Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. This bill is a crucial step in addressing the campus #antisemitism epidemic.

We commend Speaker Mike Johnson for pledging today to crack down on #antisemitism infecting college campuses:
'Today my colleagues joined me in announcing a House-wide effort to crack down on antisemitism on college campuses. We will use all the tools available to us to end it.'

#OTD 5 years ago a far-right domestic terrorist attacked Chabad of Poway with the sole intention of killing Jews.

During the rampage, Lori Gilbert-Kaye was tragically murdered while protecting others.

May Lori's memory continue to inspire us to root out the world's oldest evil.

B’nai B’rith World Center-Jerusalem presented grants to families of two Israeli children affected by the Oct 7 massacre, including the infant of a fallen IDF soldier and the brother of a victim who confronted Hamas terrorists to save others.
