RUSH TRANSCRIPT Responding to ░░░░░░░░ shooting in Washington D ░░░░░░░░ Israel s prime minister ░░░░░░░░ Netanyahu sharply condemned what ░░░░░░░░ called the moral blindness ░░░░░░░░ several western leaders He ░░░░░░░░ Israel s ongoing military ░░░░░░░░ in Gaza while linking ░░░░░░░░ directly to a global ░░░░░░░░ against terrorism and anti ░░░░░░░░ Will joining me now ░░░░░░░░ Oren Segal senior vice ░░░░░░░░ of counter extremism an ░░░░░░░░ at the anti defamation ░░░░░░░░ Welcome to you sir ░░░░░░░░ you for being with ░░░░░░░░ here on BBC News ░░░░░░░░ a terrifying thing to ░░░░░░░░ in the heart of ░░░░░░░░ D C I just ░░░░░░░░ to begin by getting ░░░░░░░░ thoughts Well I mean ░░░░░░░░ of all obviously are ░░░░░░░░ thoughts are with the ░░░░░░░░ of the victims a ░░░░░░░░ intelligence This is a ░░░░░░░░ that while perhaps not ░░░░░░░░ surprising is still shocking ░░░░░░░░ it happens on in ░░░░░░░░ we have seen a ░░░░░░░░ effort among various protest ░░░░░░░░ to demonize Not just ░░░░░░░░ rallies but Jews we ░░░░░░░░ seen the glorification Of ░░░░░░░░ at many of these ░░░░░░░░ and I think what ░░░░░░░░ saw yesterday was almost ░░░░░░░░ culmination of the atmosphere ░░░░░░░░ has been created over ░░░░░░░░ know months and months ░░░░░░░░ months of this normalization ░░░░░░░░ hate and and support ░░░░░░░░ violence An orange tell ░░░░░░░░ more about The broader ░░░░░░░░ last night s today ░░░░░░░░ more broadly on the ░░░░░░░░ community the Israeli community ░░░░░░░░ beyond The Jewish community ░░░░░░░░ felt very vulnerable on ░░░░░░░░ know post October seventh ░░░░░░░░ We have documented it ░░░░░░░░ for example in two ░░░░░░░░ and 20 four over ░░░░░░░░ thousand incidents of harassment ░░░░░░░░ vandalism and assault anti ░░░░░░░░ incidents and I want ░░░░░░░░ be clear I m ░░░░░░░░ referring to those were ░░░░░░░░ of Israeli policy right ░░░░░░░░ that s not what ░░░░░░░░ are concerned about will ░░░░░░░░ concerned about is when ░░░░░░░░ who oppose the state ░░░░░░░░ Israel or zionism ascribe ░░░░░░░░ on an entire religious ░░░░░░░░ as if it s ░░░░░░░░ as if there s ░░░░░░░░ one thought a amongst ░░░░░░░░ whole community and what ░░░░░░░░ re seeing the results ░░░░░░░░ had A 20 percent ░░░░░░░░ a are increase in ░░░░░░░░ in two thousand and ░░░░░░░░ four from the previous ░░░░░░░░ and so the more ░░░░░░░░ you know people glorify ░░░░░░░░ legitimize violence the more ░░░░░░░░ people conflate Israelis and ░░░░░░░░ and zionists and the ░░░░░░░░ of a state The ░░░░░░░░ that I think we ░░░░░░░░ go To see these ░░░░░░░░ of attacks and that ░░░░░░░░ why the community is ░░░░░░░░ concerned and or when ░░░░░░░░ talk about that 20 ░░░░░░░░ increase in incidence that ░░░░░░░░ have documented and you ░░░░░░░░ taken that to I ░░░░░░░░ sure or authorities and ░░░░░░░░ lawmakers and so on ░░░░░░░░ they responded to you ░░░░░░░░ you have expressed concerns ░░░░░░░░ security for example Do ░░░░░░░░ think that those concerns ░░░░░░░░ been taken seriously enough ░░░░░░░░ light of what has ░░░░░░░░ happened Yeah I will ░░░░░░░░ that the increase of ░░░░░░░░ percent was just an ░░░░░░░░ You know the last ░░░░░░░░ years we ve sent ░░░░░░░░ nine hundred percent increase ░░░░░░░░ incidence but but overall ░░░░░░░░ will say this there ░░░░░░░░ so many threats against ░░░░░░░░ Jewish community that we ░░░░░░░░ and monitor at ideo ░░░░░░░░ Our center on extremism ░░░░░░░░ designed to try to ░░░░░░░░ threats and campaigns and ░░░░░░░░ try to stop them ░░░░░░░░ they happen Natural partners ░░░░░░░░ are law enforcement right ░░░░░░░░ we see something we ░░░░░░░░ something and we have ░░░░░░░░ many successes in preventing ░░░░░░░░ from happening but nobody ░░░░░░░░ bat a thousand right ░░░░░░░░ can be successful in ░░░░░░░░ case and the Jewish ░░░░░░░░ right is the most ░░░░░░░░ community in terms of ░░░░░░░░ The in the country ░░░░░░░░ we need to do ░░░░░░░░ win hearts and minds ░░░░░░░░ comparing it of the ░░░░░░░░ of a state to ░░░░░░░░ the beliefs of the ░░░░░░░░ people Right have ways ░░░░░░░░ protest What one might ░░░░░░░░ without legitimizing violence as ░░░░░░░░ response that I think ░░░░░░░░ the bigger struggle All ░░░░░░░░ you know bullet proof ░░░░░░░░ and other security measures ░░░░░░░░ mean Aren t you ░░░░░░░░ making very clear that ░░░░░░░░ case about a line ░░░░░░░░ drawn an ass You ░░░░░░░░ between a critique of ░░░░░░░░ Israeli government without allowing ░░░░░░░░ any form of anti ░░░░░░░░ in a going beyond ░░░░░░░░ at What do you ░░░░░░░░ to see happen in ░░░░░░░░ wake of what we ░░░░░░░░ happened on Wednesday night ░░░░░░░░ in Washington D C ░░░░░░░░ mean you know what ░░░░░░░░ all want is for ░░░░░░░░ know the anti Semitism ░░░░░░░░ this level to stop ░░░░░░░░ We want social media ░░░░░░░░ spreading conspiracy allowing the ░░░░░░░░ of conspiracy theories and ░░░░░░░░ information that enemy people ░░░░░░░░ action We want You ░░░░░░░░ people old to recognize ░░░░░░░░ difference between a protest ░░░░░░░░ legitimate it a policy ░░░░░░░░ and one that is ░░░░░░░░ geared toward a promoting ░░░░░░░░ type of terrorism and ░░░░░░░░ that we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ s not everybody at ░░░░░░░░ protests but it has ░░░░░░░░ so overwhelming that we ░░░░░░░░ to have Good people ░░░░░░░░ with the community and ░░░░░░░░ it You can t ░░░░░░░░ have one voice You ░░░░░░░░ a whole of society ░░░░░░░░
