Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle: Sen. Bob Casey stresses support for Israel during ‘Coffee and Conversations’
- Sen. Bob Casey pledged his support to both the Jewish community and the state of Israel during a town hall-style program hosted by the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh on Oct. 9.
- The senator said that as we pass the one-year mark of Hamas’ Oct. 7 invasion of Israel, it’s important to continue to remind people of the “horrific attack where 1,200 innocent Israelis were murdered by a terrorist organization and all of the murder, terror and rape and the dehumanization that occurred.”
- Casey said he opposes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, adding that Congress needs to turn its attention to the issue.
- Casey said he hoped the Antisemitism Awareness Act, a bill he introduced with Sen. Tom Scott, would be voted on before the end of the calendar year and that there’s a good chance it will pass.
