Tulsi Gabbard Calls Out Biden and Harris for Absence at Pro-Israel Rally<\/h2>\n<p>Former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard criticized President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for\u200c not joining the supporters of Israel who gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to \u200drally against antisemitism. Gabbard expressed her disappointment on Fox News, stating, &#8220;There&#8217;s a very loud absence,\u200b though, in knowing that President Biden and Vice President Harris are literally just\u2062 down the street as people are traveling\u200b here from all over the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Biden and\u2063 Harris are\u200d currently in \u200dSan Francisco attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and\u2064 are scheduled to participate in a \u200dcampaign reception in the evening. Gabbard emphasized that their absence sends the \u200bwrong message at a time when antisemitic attacks are on the\u200b rise globally.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard, a former\u200d presidential candidate and\u200d U.S. Army Reserve officer, highlighted that Hamas&#8217;s\u2062 goal\u200d extends beyond the conflict between Israel and \u200bGaza or Palestine. She stated, &#8220;Their \u2062goal \u200cis\u200c to establish a global Islamist caliphate and destroy anyone who \u200ddoesn&#8217;t adhere to\u2063 their radical interpretation of Islam,\u200b including Muslims, Christians, Hindus, \u200dand others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Supporters\u200b of Israel Demand Action<\/h3>\n<p>Sen. John Fetterman \u2063(D-PA), Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL), and other members\u2062 of\u2064 Congress joined hundreds of thousands\u200c of pro-Israel demonstrators who pleaded for the safe return of those held hostage by Hamas and \u200ccalled for an end\u2062 to\u2062 the calls for a \u2062ceasefire. Israeli Ambassador Michael\u2063 Herzog directly addressed the\u200b crowd, condemning\u200c the rallies that \u200bglorify Hamas and celebrate the murder of Jews, \u2063stating, &#8220;The dark demons of antisemitism have been unleashed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since the Hamas \u2064terror \u2064attacks on Oct. 7, which resulted in over 1,400 deaths according to Israeli officials, the conflict has \u200bclaimed the lives\u200b of over 11,200 people in \u200cGaza, as reported by\u2062 the\u2063 Palestinian\u2064 Health Ministry in the Hamas-controlled enclave. Protests have erupted nationwide, with thousands \u200dof pro-Palestinian \u200bdemonstrators\u200b marching in downtown Washington last week, demanding a ceasefire and humanitarian aid for Gaza residents.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> \u2062to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What does Tulsi Gabbard&#8217;s call for President Biden and Vice\u200d President Harris to engage directly with the Jewish community and work towards\u200b eradicating anti-Semitism \u200dhighlight about the responsibility of elected officials in\u200d supporting \u200bmarginalized communities<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ng, &#8220;It \u200cis \u2062really unfortunate that our President and Vice President were not \u200dthere to stand with those \u2064who are fighting against hatred and\u2062 bigotry \u2064towards the Jewish people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard, known \u2062for her bipartisan approach and support for Israel, pointed out the significance of the rally, which aimed to condemn the\u2063 recent surge in antisemitic attacks across the United States. As a former member of Congress, Gabbard understands the importance\u200d of elected officials showing solidarity with communities facing discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>The\u2062 rally,\u2064 organized by the Anti-Defamation \u2063League and other \u200bpro-Israel groups, drew\u2064 thousands \u200bof supporters who came together \u200dto \u2063denounce the rise in \u2064antisemitic incidents in recent weeks.

As representatives of a country\u200b that prides itself \u2064on diversity and religious freedom, it is crucial for the nation&#8217;s leaders to\u2064 actively condemn \u200dacts of\u200c hatred against any religious or ethnic group.<\/p>\n<p>While the White House did\u200d release a statement condemning antisemitic \u200battacks, Gabbard argued that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/patagonia-donates-1-million-to-defending-democracy-dana-loesch-fires-back-patagonia-has-13-factories-in-china\/\" title=\"Patagonia Donates  Million To \u2018Defending Democracy,\u2019 Dana Loesch Fires Back. \u2018Patagonia Has 13 Factories In China\u2019\">actions speak louder<\/a> than words. Attending the rally would have sent a powerful message both to the Jewish community and \u2063to those perpetrating\u200b acts of hate.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard&#8217;s criticism\u2063 is not unfounded. Throughout her career, she has consistently advocated for religious \u2063freedom and the\u2064 rights of all individuals. Her disappointment in the absence of \u2062President Biden and Vice President Harris\u200c stems \u200cfrom their failure to \u200dseize an opportunity to stand up against antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p>The rally served as\u2063 a reminder that \u2063in times of rising hatred, leaders \u2064need to stand shoulder to shoulder\u200c with those affected. It is not enough to \u200bissue statements \u2013 actions and public \u2062displays of solidarity are \u2064integral in combating\u2062 bigotry.<\/p>\n<p>Gabbard concluded her remarks by urging President\u2062 Biden \u200band Vice President \u200cHarris to engage directly with the \u200cJewish\u200d community, listen to their concerns, and actively \u2063work towards eradicating antisemitism. She emphasized the importance \u200dof\u2064 leaders leading by example and using their platform to promote \u2064unity, tolerance, and understanding.<\/p>\n<p>As the fight against antisemitism continues, it is crucial for elected officials to\u2062 prioritize and actively support\u2063 marginalized communities. \u200bFormer Representative \u2064Tulsi Gabbard&#8217;s\u200c call\u200d for leadership and \u200caccountability serves as \u2064a \u200creminder\u2062 that actions carry more weight\u2062 than mere words.<\/p>\n<p>Antisemitism should not be tolerated, and\u2064 it is the \u2063responsibility of\u2064 all \u2063leaders, including\u2062 President Biden and Vice President Harris, to actively combat\u2062 this form of hatred. Their absence at the\u200d pro-Israel rally highlights \u2064the missed opportunity to demonstrate unity and solidarity, sending a message \u2064that the fight against antisemitism is\u2063 a priority for the United States.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Hawaii Rep.
