In his first appearance as a minister in the US, Dermer addressed a gala dinner of the International March of the Living in Miami on January 10, stating clearly that the new government is firmly committed to standing strong against Iran, while expanding peace in the region.
On the importance of combating antisemitism globally, Dermer said, “If you’re going to deal with antisemitism, you have to fight back. You have to be willing to stand up against antisemitism. Jews cannot wait in the background and ask others to fight our battles for us. You have to be front and center and to be proud and to stand up to the antisemites. And we have to put all the politics aside.
“It doesn’t matter – Democrat, Republican, Left or Right – you have to call out antisemitism on your side of the aisle and hold hands with people on the other side of the aisle to fight against that scourge. We’re not going to stop antisemitism, but we will make it smaller and smaller. If we don’t fight it, you will see that what was the red line yesterday will be wiped away, and the red line will keep moving and keep moving and keep moving.” READ MORE
