Staff Reports
On Tuesday, the March for Israel took place in Washington, D.C., and it was a sight to behold. RedState reported that hundreds of thousands of people gathered on the National Mall to show their unwavering support for Israel and denounce the disturbing rise in antisemitism that has been plaguing us since Hamas launched its heinous attacks on October 7. To put it simply, this march was a resounding message to the world that we stand with Israel and will not tolerate antisemitism.
What was truly remarkable about this event was the bipartisan support it received. Leaders from both the Republican and Democratic parties came together to address the crowd. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, spoke about the importance of confronting antisemitism and condemning Hamas. However, it’s worth noting that Schumer conveniently failed to call out the antisemitic members of his own party in Congress. Typical.

In contrast, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, hit the nail right on the head. He emphasized that the survival of Israel unites Americans and that the United States unequivocally stands with our ally. Johnson spoke passionately about the Israeli hostages still being held by Hamas, the barbaric terrorists who kidnapped them simply because they are Jewish and live in Israel. He rightfully labeled it a fight between good and evil, between civilization and barbarism. It’s refreshing to hear a politician who isn’t afraid to speak the truth.
Johnson also addressed the alarming rise of antisemitism not only in the United States but also on college campuses and within the halls of Congress. He called out the dangerous rhetoric that supports the extermination of Israel and denounced political leaders who give it credence. This was a clear shot at Rashida Tlaib and her Squad members, who have been known to spew such hateful rhetoric. It’s about time someone stood up to them.
In conclusion, the March for Israel was a powerful display of support for our ally and a clear message that the United States stands proudly with Israel and the Jewish people. It’s essential that we continue to confront and condemn antisemitism in all its forms and hold political leaders accountable for their dangerous rhetoric. Let this march be a reminder to the entire world that we will not waver in our support for Israel. God bless you all.
