HAPPENING NOW: @USJewishDems hosting virtual event w/ @ReverendWarnock and @ossoff, @ReverendWarnock said that he's stood up to anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry.
. @ossoff talks about exposing the far-right, corruption, war crimes by ISIS and others, corporate abuses. Says he's all about fighting for justice and for the people of #Georgia.
. @ossoff: The Trump presidency broke my mother's heart and was a "betrayal" of the ideas of the US that she's known. Makes me empathetic of those fleeing from persecution and who are affected by exploitation. (His parents were immigrants.)
. @ReverendWarnock: When there's bigotry, people of faith must stand up. And we must combat those who use bigotry as a shield in pushing for religious freedom laws that hurt LGBTQ people.
. @ReverendWarnock: When the Tree of Life massacre happened, it was important for me to reach out to the Jewish community and stand in solidarity with them.
. @ReverendWarnock: "I am a staunch ally and supporter of Israel and I echo without reservation Dr. King's perspective that Israel's right to exist" is "incontestable." That'll be my work in the Senate. I support the two-state solution.
. @ReverendWarnock: "I condemn BDS" as it refuses to acknowledge #Israel's right to exist. I also support the 10-year, $38 billion MOU between the US and Israel. "There is no question" that Iran can't get a nuclear weapon.
. @ReverendWarnock: I understand the relationship not just between the US and #Israel, but also #Georgia and Israel. Israel has played a role in Georgia's economic development. My opponent uses Israel as "another wedge issue."
. @ReverendWarnock: "I do not believe that Israel is an apartheid state."
. @ReverendWarnock: "I have an increasing recognition of Hamas" and the danger they pose to the Israeli people. It's a complicated situation.
. @ossoff: I'm committed to Israel's security as the homeland for the Jewish people w/o fear of terrorism or violence or persecution. I want the US to play "a strong role" in ensuring Israel as the Jewish state and playing a diplomatic effort to end Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
. @ossoff: I hope we can achieve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
. @ossoff: The experience of the Jewish people over history has made us sensitive to persecution and bigotry.
. @ossoff recalls a @Perduesenate campaign ad enlarging his nose, which appears to invoke the anti-Semitic tropes of Jews having long noses. https://www.jns.org/georgia-senator-removes-campaign-ad-with-enlarged-nose-of-jewish-opponent/
