Antisemitism is widespread everywhere. Sometimes it hides behind the language of anti-colonial liberation struggles or criticism of Israel. We, as a federal government, are doing and will continue to do everything in our power to protect the lives of Jews in our country and around the world. Within this commitment, we stand unreservedly with Israel. The existence of a state in the world in which Jews are not a vulnerable minority, a state in which they find refuge and protection when barbarism returns to dominate their homelands, is part of our historical responsibility. Historical responsibility means speaking out publicly against antisemitism and combating it wherever it appears. It also means showing concern for Israel's fate.
