To any of my fellow Jews who are still undecided; remember these monsters, who Trump called “very fine people”? Remember the 2018 Tree of life Synagogue shooting, the 2019 Poway Synagogue shooting? Jews are not safe under Trump. We have to vote for our lives! #American Jews

This Veterans Day, I want to honor my Jewish Grandmother Kitty, who’s 4 boys fought in World War 2. One of them was held for a year in a Nazi POW camp. When we remember those who serve, we should also spare a thought for those who wait and worry at home. @MelBrooks

Make no mistake, Hamas is as much an enemy of the Palestinian People as they are of the Israelis. They use Palestinian civilians as human shields to fuel outrage and revenge, because outrage and revenge is the only thing keeping Hamas in power.
