Rabbi Menken to Newsmax: Pro-Palestinian Disruption Mars Holocaust Remembrance March

Menken voiced his concerns to Newsmax, stating, "I have to admit that on Oct. 8th, I was indeed surprised that immediately Students for Justice in Palestine, which means 'just us' in Palestine, eject all the Jews, that that organization would declare itself part of Hamas. But now, I think we're no longer surprised."

"It's entirely actually sadly appropriate that they would disturb the March of the Living at Auschwitz with a pro-Palestine protest because it has nothing to do with Palestine; these people don't actually care about Palestinian lives; they just care about their hatred and blaming the Jews," he added.

Menken reflected on the historical parallels, stating, "A professor on a college campus told me about eight years ago, he said, 'the reason why you've got protests' and, of course, at eight years ago that there was an entirely different level to what we have now, but even then, he said, 'What we're hearing out of students, you never heard that 40 years ago when the so-called occupation of the West Bank was a new thing.

"These people want to tear down the values that America was built on. When you think about it, it's really not about the Jews. It's about American values and the tolerance and acceptance of Jewish people, that's just a piece of it. But they want their racially divisive narrative," he added.
