Schumer addresses rising antisemitism in impassioned Senate speech

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warns of the rise in antisemitic hate faced by American Jews since the Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, stating that too many Americans are exploiting arguments against Israel and embracing virulent antisemitism. Schumer reflects on his personal connection to the Holocaust and urges people to distinguish between criticism of Israel's government and denying Jews' right to a state of their own. He calls for solidarity and denouncement of antisemitism in all its forms, as hate crimes against Jews have skyrocketed in recent times.
