Bipartisan Members Condemn Anti-Semitic Attacks on Stoneman Douglas Students

 
Today, Representatives Ted Deutch (FL-22), Nita Lowey (NY-17), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (FL-27), and Eliot Engel (NY-16), four Co-Chairs of the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism, issued the following joint statement after multiple reports of anti-Semitic attacks directed at students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida:

It is shameful for anyone to attack students – especially survivors of gun violence  with anti-Semitic slurs and Nazi comparisons. Policy differences are never an excuse for anti-Semitism. We condemn anti-Semitism in all its forms and reject any inappropriate evocation of the Holocaust or comparison to Nazis.
