“Speak Out Stand Up Against Anti-Semitism”
Today’s anti-Semitism is often recast as anti-Zionism, but in truth applies
to all Jews. The leader of the American BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions)
movement against Israel recently authorized his members to buy and use
any COVID-19 vaccine that might be invented by Israel, proving the cor-
ruption and fraudulence of the BDS movement. Their intent to destroy the
Jewish homeland would leave Jews everywhere as helpless as they were in
the 1930s-1940s, abandoned, shut out and mortally vulnerable. This class,
presented by the Al Katz Center, begins at noon via Zoom. Cost: $10. To
RSVP and receive the Zoom link, call Beverly Newman at 941.313.9239.
