Israel, Local South Florida Leaders Push Back Against Antisemitism

Aventura— Nine months after the horrific Hamas terror attack against Israel that led to a string of violent antisemitic riots and protests around the U.S., the movement to stop antisemitism is growing as leaders like Miami’s Israeli Consulate General Maor Elbaz-Starlinsky continue to press forward to bring awareness to the rise of hatred against the Jewish community.

General Elbaz-Starlinsky recently hosted a meeting with local leaders to bring awareness to the issue, and to allow Sunny Isles Mayor Larisa Svechin to brief attendees about her recent trip to Israel, where the Russian-born lawmaker toured the sites of the terror attack.

Mayor Svechin displayed several graphic images of the aftermath of the attack and conveyed the message that because Hamas and its sympathizers were spinning the attack to try to benefit their cause, the antisemitism story must continue to be told.
