Secretary of State Rubio Condemns "Free, Free, Palestine" Chant as Emblem of Jew-Hatred


(Jerusalem Post) U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday condemned the chant "Free, free, Palestine" as an "emblem of Jew-hatred," speaking at an International Conference to Combat Antisemitism in Jerusalem. He recalled that the Washington, D.C., shooter "proudly screamed 'Free, free, Palestine' - words that now serve as a battle cry for the death of Jews, the destruction of Israel, and the horrors we must never again allow." "Those who call to boycott Israel are calling for the boycott of their Jewish neighbors and classmates. Those who call for violence against Israelis are calling for violence against Jews. Those who call for the destruction of Israel are calling for the destruction of the Jewish people." "I pray for the day when the entire world will recognize the futility of antisemitism, when leaders will abandon self-destructive hatred and forge a new future in partnership with Israel."
