ADL head Greenblatt: DC shooting will not ‘intimidate’ Jews

Responding to the US shooting attack that killed two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt promises that the Jewish community will not be intimidated by the attack.

“This shooting strikes a nerve because it comes after an unrelenting, ongoing campaign of hate and harassment targeting the Jewish community simply because of who we are and what we believe,” Greenblatt writes on X. “Our hearts break for the families of those who were murdered even as our will hardens in the face of those who threaten us.”

However, Greenblatt writes, “What they fail to grasp is that we will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. We will not cower or quiver or shake. Without a doubt, we will mourn and we will grieve and then we will press on with renewed determination and resolve. We will fight for our rights. We will defend our beliefs. We will protect our community, now and forever.”
