Lior Raz calls on US Jews to speak out strongly against antisemitism

In depth

"Fauda" star Lior Raz delivered a speech to the Jewish community in San Diego, California, calling on Jews in the diaspora to make their voices heard against antisemitism and incitement against Israel. According to him, "We need to show everyone that we are strong and fighting." He added: "I understand how hard it is to be a Jew outside Israel."

In the speech, Raz urged Jews not to hide their identity, noting: "When I see Jews taking the mezuzah off their homes, that's how we lose." He demanded that Jewish employers fire employees who support terrorism and stop donating to universities that support the inciters.

Raz asked employers in the audience to check the social media accounts of their employees and fire them if they supported the terrorist organization Hamas. Keshet 12 presenter Ofira Asayag shared a video of the speech and showered praise on his fight: "You have a global stage, and you choose to use it to stand with Jews."
