Public Statement Regarding Ambassador Huckabee & Tucker Carlson Interview:

"The phenomenon of political leaders erroneously citing biblical passages to support Israel, a political entity, is both bewildering and revealing to us American Jews. It highlights how Zionist ideology has tragically seeped into mainstream perception while simultaneously demonstrating how far such rhetoric is from authentic Judaism. Israel is a twentieth-century political entity, not a religious fulfillment of Torah promises. Zionism, a movement rooted in nineteenth-century European nationalism, is completely inconsistent with Torah teachings and does not represent the “People of Israel” described in the Torah.

‍Judaism does not equate contemporary political developments with divine prophecy.

‍Blurring the line between a political movement and Judaism is an insult to Jewish faith and a mischaracterization of our loyalty to our country. It misrepresents our sacred faith and places Jews worldwide at risk, serving as a harbinger of rising antisemitism.

We pray for peace to be restored in the world, for harmony to reign, and for prosperity for all."
