We Must Fight the Culture of Hate

(Fox News) Jason D. Greenblatt - I traveled to Pittsburgh on Sunday in shock and grief, trying to grapple with the news of the devastating attack this past Shabbat at the Tree of Life synagogue, reportedly the deadliest attack on a Jewish community in the history of the United States. There is a culture of hate that is breeding and multiplying. These evil haters are demonizing Jews, they are demonizing Israel, they are demonizing "the other" - anyone who isn't like them. The anti-Semites are found on the far left and the far right. I am devastated to know that there are evil people who dwell among us who have so much hate in their hearts that they think nothing of extinguishing the lives of others because they are Jews or because of their faith. A murderous ideology and hatred has reared its vicious and ugly head in our great nation. As President Trump said after the murders in Pittsburgh: "This evil, anti-Semitic attack is an assault on all of us. It's an assault on humanity. It will require all of us working together to extract the hateful poison of anti-Semitism from our world....We must stand with our Jewish brothers and sisters to defeat anti-Semitism and vanquish the forces of hate...and those seeking their destruction, we will seek their destruction." The writer is an Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations.
