US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman addresses the March of the Living, vowing the United States will combat anti-Semitism wherever it arises.
“I commit on behalf of my government, on behalf of the Untied States, that we will give no quarter to the ugly and resurgent strains of anti-Semitism cropping up anywhere on this planet,” he says.
“As president Trump said publicly last year: ‘Those who seek the destruction of the Jewish people will themselves be destroyed,'” Friedman adds.
He also calls Israel “a force for such good in the world” and a reminder that not only the Jewish people but all humans “can, will and must be defended from the tyrannical, hate-filled regimes that threaten us.”
“The atrocities of Nazi Germany will never, ever, ever return to this world,” Friedman says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
