Agudath Israel met last week with Congressman Ted Lieu (CA-36) to discuss the war in Israel.
The congressman spoke out very strongly against calls for a ceasefire, and strongly condemned domestic antisemitism and the killing of Paul Kessler, a Jewish man, that took place at a pro-Palestinian rally in LA. The meeting also led to tangible results – during the meeting, one of the participants suggested that Congress view the 40 minute Israeli video featuring the brutality of Hamas’ October 7th attacks. Rep. Lieu immediately authored a letter to Secretary Blinken asking him to arrange a screening for members of Congress and the media. That screening took place this morning with over 100 members of Congress in attendance.
