Speaking about the recent wave of violence, Rep.

Tragically, since then, we have seen a rise in anti-Semitic attacks here in America." He emphasized the importance of coming together to denounce these acts and march in solidarity with Israel. "Anti-Semitism has no place in the United States and must be condemned. I am proud to stand with the State of Israel and Jewish people across the United States. Am Yisrael Chai!" added the Congressman.
