‘Going to have as many non-Jews on stage as possible,’ Leo Terrell says of upcoming 15-city tour to fight Jew-hatred

Leo Terrell, chair of the U.S. Justice Department’s task force on Jew-hatred, announced plans for a 15-city tour to combat antisemitism, emphasizing the inclusion of non-Jewish allies. Speaking at a JNS event in Las Vegas, Terrell stated, "We’re going to have as many non-Jews on the stage as possible." The tour aims to demonstrate that "hate comes in all shapes and forms" and is an "American issue," not solely a Jewish one. The initiative will involve various federal officials, a daily podcast, social media efforts, and a mobile application for reporting hate crimes. Terrell also stressed the need for politicians to take more substantive action beyond expressing support for Israel's right to exist.
