Thank you to @StateDept, @FBI, @TheJusticeDept, @SDNYnews, @WhiteHouse, @DeptofWar, the United States Intelligence Community, and the entire interagency. I am proud that my office assisted their work to ensure Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi—accused of directing and urging others to attack U.S. interests, including by killing Americans and Jews across the globe—will face justice. @POTUS and @SecRubio have been clear: If you target Americans or American interests, we will find you and hold you accountable. @StateDeptCT @SebGorka state.gov/releases/office-of…

Today marks the tenth yahrzeit of Elie Wiesel. I was privileged to work with Elie for many years. Elie exemplified moral courage—teaching us all what it means to be an ambassador for humanity. May his memory be a blessing

This glorification of a mass murderer and his vile hatred brings shame unworthy of the great nation of Colombia.

Reforming the @UN was thought impossible, until President Trump came along. With the President’s vision and leadership, and with the support and leadership of @USAmbUN, our team has driven historic reform, including eliminating 3000 bureaucratic posts and cutting $570 Million from this year’s budget. As we continue to drive reform across the UN system, we will dismantle the UN infrastructure that supports the unconscionable bias against the United States and our ally Israel. foxnews.com/world/jeff-barto…

Canada's replacement of an antisemitism envoy position with "rights, equality, and inclusion" reflects the lack of seriousness with which they have treated Jewish Canadians. By contrast, the U.S is putting results over politically correct pieties.

CIJA Responds to Prime Minister’s Address on Antisemitism: The Jewish community is angry, frustrated and deeply concerned for its future in Canada. For nearly three years, Jewish Canadians have watched antisemitism surge across our country while too many institutions, leaders, and authorities failed to respond with the urgency the situation demands. The hate and hostility targeting Canada’s Jewish community is an urgent national crisis. In a public address to the nation, the Prime Minister acknowledged that antisemitism is a threat to all Canadians. He recognized that the crisis of antisemitism in Canada today is specific, severe, and demands a targeted response. He laid out specific measures the government has introduced, sharing his concern that Canada’s civic compact is failing the Jewish community. The Prime Minister’s address marks an important moment in an urgently needed, national conversation. What matters most are the actions that will follow. Urgent focus is now needed to ensure consistent enforcement of the law, as well as serious measures to disrupt radicalization and terrorist activity in Canada. To address the campaign of harassment targeting the Jewish community, authorities must also end the weaponization of public institutions like the Canada Revenue Agency. And in confronting the sources of radicalization, it is essential to recognize antizionist extremism as a driver of hostility toward Canadian Jews since the Hamas-led October 7 terrorist attacks—a point that the Prime Minister did not explicitly make and that Canadians needed to hear. While the Prime Minister correctly stated that a whole of government approach is required to fight antisemitism, the formation and composition of the new Ministerial Advisory Council raise serious concerns. The challenge facing our country has been studied extensively. Immediate action, rather than further deliberation, is what’s needed now. This new body must not delay or obstruct the urgent measures needed to protect Canadians from the extremists threatening our national security, community safety, and the Canadian way of life. We urge our Prime Minister and leaders across Canada to act now, in light of these growing threats. Our community will continue to advocate for measures to protect Canadians, confront extremism, and restore confidence that Canada remains a country where Jewish life can thrive safely and openly.

It was an honor, and deeply moving, to host the ceremony marking the 32nd anniversary of the AMIA terrorist attack at the United States Institute of Peace in Washington, together with the U.S. Department of State and AMIA. We thank the Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism, Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, and all those who made this act of memory and reflection possible. A privilege to feature the words of Ambassador Gregory LoGerfo; State Department Legal Adviser Reed Rubinstein; AMIA President Osvaldo Armoza; and Daniel Pomeranz, survivor of the attack and a symbol of resilience in the face of terror. Our thanks as well to House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast for his steadfast support. The venue was no coincidence. Honoring the victims of terrorism in an institution devoted to peace is not a contradiction: true peace demands firmness against those who choose terror. The AMIA bombing was not only an Argentine tragedy, nor solely an attack on the Jewish community: it was an attack on life, on open society, on freedom, and on the democratic values our nations defend. Thirty-two years on, Argentina continues to demand memory, truth, and justice. As the exhibition opened today at the Embassy reads: “what is not remembered, dies; and what is remembered, never dies.” To remember is not only a moral duty, it is resistance against oblivion and impunity.

It’s ridiculous for the UN to put a democracy like Israel—with robust rule of law that conducts investigations and holds criminals accountable—on the same level as terrorist organizations like Hamas & ISIS which DELIBERATELY target civilians for sexual violence as a weapon of terror.

Honored to meet for a wide-ranging discussion with @JMilei—a true champion for Jewish communities in Argentina and globally. I congratulate Argentina for its historic @TheIHRA presidency. As antisemitism surges globally, you are a model for the hemisphere and the world.

UCLA turned its back on its Jewish and Israeli students, & failed to protect them from discrimination & harassment—a clear violation of Title VI! @TheJusticeDept finds this unacceptable, & @CivilRights will see UCLA in court!

Justice Department Sues University of California for Antisemitic Hostile Educational Environment “Earlier this year, we sued UCLA for subjecting its Jewish and Israeli employees to an antisemitic hostile work environment,” said @AAGDhillon. “Now, the Department of Justice calls UCLA to account for its toleration of the equally appalling hostile educational environment against its Jewish and Israeli students.” 🔗: justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…

Policymakers worried about the rise of the so-called “far right” should avoid criminalizing accurate, data-driven political speech about mass migration — as this ruling appears to explicitly contemplate. Doing so means that people willing to be convicted of “racism” get a monopoly on making arguments that strike large segments of the public as important and true.
A very sad announcement. I have just been convicted a second time for 'hate speech' and it is only due to a technicality that I could not immediately be sent to jail —to the judge's frustration. In an ironic turn of events it's actually thanks to my previous prison sentence (for memes in a private group chat) that I am now still free —in a physical sense, at least. Call me naive but I didn't think they would take it this far, given that this precedent criminalises many of the arguments used by even the most moderate politicians critical of mass migration. In February 2024 I gave a lecture at Catholic University Leuven wherein I linked mass migration to crime and a deterioration of our quality of life. Every single point I made was 100% the truth and based on scientific evidence. Cynically, even the judge that convicted me admits as much by writing in his verdict: “Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.” That's a lot of words just to say he wants to send me to prison for speaking the truth. Even the regime media write: "It did not matter to the court that Van Langenhove was quoting scientific sources. The judge argued that Van Langenhove's main message was that a big part of the societal problems like insecurity, housing shortages and lowering educational standards are due to mass migration." You may think the regime media are being sympathetic to me in the first sentence, but in reality they are warning people: even if you speak the truth, if you go against our narrative, we will crush you in every way possible. Both the public prosecutor and the judge did not present a single real argument as to how or against whom I would have incited hatred. So even if I would accept their crazy, dystopic law, I still did not break it. The only argument they present is that I created a "hostile atmosphere of us versus them” in regards to migrants. But even this silly argument (which is not even a punishable offence) is not true. To me, the deadly disease is self-hatred and one of its worst symptoms is replacement migration. My enemy is thus NOT the migrants themselves but those orchestrating the mass migration. Sadly, in Belgium, evidence is not needed and ‘vibes’ are enough to put someone in jail. Given the fact that I have another court case coming up in September and that I have a dozen active criminal investigations for hate speech, time is running out for me. I have already paid more than €420,000 in legal fees and there is no ending in sight. I have been in an intense battle of attrition for eight years and must now regroup to make sure I can still win. If you want to help me, you can do so via the links below. If you can help in other ways, please contact me via DM. If you live in a country that still has free speech, never let them touch it, however noble they make the motives sound, because this is where it leads to.

Marking Memorial Day includes honoring all those who lost their lives liberating the Nazi death camps and defeating the axis of evil. Denying the Holocaust is an insult to their memory.
America was built, defended, and preserved by those willing to give everything for it. On Memorial Day, we honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and our freedom. We will never forget them.

A poignant reminder of the brave Americans who lost their lives fighting for our country. This Memorial Day—and everyday—we salute, honor, and remember you.
More than 7,000 combat boots were displayed at Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island, honoring fallen U.S. service members ahead of Memorial Day. Each boot represents a service member killed in action after 9/11.

I am deeply disappointed and concerned by the vandalism of the Lisbon Synagogue. This was not merely an act of vandalism, it is an attack on religious freedom, and the right of Jewish people to practice their faith without fear. There is no justification for intimidation or attacks against Jewish communities or institutions. We must stand firmly together against antisemitism wherever it appears. We condemn this act and the United States stands in solidarity with Portugal’s Jewish community and with all those working to ensure that hatred and intolerance have no place in our societies. - Ambassador John J. Arrigo

The U.S. stands firmly with the legitimate Government of Lebanon as it works to restore its authority and build a better future for all its people. Hizballah's threats of violence and overthrow will not be allowed to succeed. The era in which a terrorist group held an entire nation hostage is coming to an end.

Thank you, FM @gidonsaar. The U.S. and Israel are allies in this fight.
Great meeting U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Ambassador Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun @StateSEAS in Jerusalem. Amb. Kaploun is doing tremendous work in fighting antisemitism, including its modern form: delegitimizing the Jewish state. I appreciate his commitment to strengthening the IHRA alliance and safeguarding Holocaust Remembrance. We agreed to work closely together. 🇮🇱🇺🇸
