Today marks the two-year anniversary since the devastating October 7th attacks that ravaged Israel.  

But on October 7th, 2023, Hamas terrorists didn’t just attack Israeli citizens—they killed 46 innocent Americans and took 12 others hostage. To this day, the remains of two Americans are still held captive by Hamas. The world must know that if an American is taken, an American will bring them home—no American citizen will be left behind. We will not stop fighting for them. 

And while Hamas continues its terror overseas, the battle against antisemitic hate continues here at home. In the 731 days since the deadliest attack in Israel’s history, antisemitism has run rampant, with over half of all Jewish Americans reporting that they experienced antisemitism this past year alone. And nearly eighty percent of Jewish Americans are actively concerned about antisemitism—affecting our students, neighbors, and loved ones. This kind of intolerance has no place in America. 

Two years later, we make it clear that we will never forget October 7th, and we renew our resolve to fight the despicable hatred that fueled it.
