In response to anti-Israel demonstrators showing up at protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles, the Jewish Center for Justice issued the following statement:
Recent protests against ICE raids and state violence are critical acts of justice. But some have tried to hijack them with anti-Israel hate.
Let’s be clear: These bad actors don’t care about immigration. Their goal is to silence Jews and sow division.
We refuse.
JCJ will not step away. We stand with our immigrant neighbors—proud and visible, committed to justice—and we stand against the current deployment of troops in our streets. We are here. We are staying. And we will not be silenced.
