In light of the concerns and strong emotions surrounding recent campaign-related events in our community, the Broward Democratic Party Jewish Caucus urges all Democrats to lower the temperature and engage one another with care, respect, and good faith.
We support the State of Israel, its security, and its right to exist and flourish as a Jewish and democratic homeland. That support must not be lumped together with unquestioning endorsement of the policies, decisions, or actions of any particular Israeli government. We also affirm the right of Israelis and Palestinians alike to live in peace, safety, dignity, and self-determination.
Our differences on these profoundly consequential issues are real, but antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-Arab bigotry, and political intimidation have no place in our party or our community.
Democratic primaries are for voters to make choices. Once they do, we must unite to defend democracy and protect Jewish values of justice, compassion, human dignity, welcoming the stranger, and care for the vulnerable—along with the fundamental rights, security, and opportunity of every community—against a Republican agenda that threatens them.
