@ElissaSlotkin is doing something too many leaders will not: naming extremism in her own political family and refusing to make excuses for it. That is what commonsense leadership looks like.
No community should have to fear violence for its political views, full stop.
In response to Hasan Piker's recent comments on Jews in America being targeted because of their views on Israel:
This shouldn’t be hard: no community should face the threat violence for their political views. Period. That goes if you’re pro-Israel, pro-Palestine, pro-choice, pro-life or any other cause you care about. And blaming the victims of violence for bringing it on themselves only further endangers people.
In a time where political violence and anti-semitism has been spiking— and where just 6 months ago Michigan had a nearly deadly event of anti-semitic mass violence at Temple Israel — no one should causally be suggesting that anyone, Jews or otherwise, are to blame for being targeted.
