*🇺🇸-Kustoff At RJC Summit: “Hatred Has No Place In America”* Tennessee Congressman David Kustoff told the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual leadership summit in Las Vegas that antisemitism is rising and must be called out without hesitation. Kustoff, a longtime RJC ally and the senior Jewish Republican in the House, said the surge since October 7 has reached schools, campuses, synagogues, and communities across the country. He pointed to a threat this summer in his own backyard, when a 21-year-old in Memphis was arrested for threatening to walk into Temple Israel. “Antisemitism is hatred, and hatred has no place in the United States of America,” Kustoff said. “Not in our schools, not on our college campuses, not in our communities, and not anywhere else in our country.” He warned that when hate is tolerated it grows, and when good people stay silent it spreads. The RJC summit is underway through Tuesday at the Venetian.
