This isn't justice — it's persecution

When defending the vulnerable becomes a crime, we must take action

This is an injustice — plain and simple.

Dr. Moshe Glick, a Jewish man who came to the aid of another Jew being assaulted at a pro-Hamas protest in New Jersey, is now facing prosecution. Instead of being celebrated as a hero, he is being targeted for standing up in defense of his community.

This isn't just about one man. It's part of a disturbing trend: Jews being targeted not just with verbal and physical attacks, but with legal threats and prosecution when they defend themselves.

If we look back at the early days of the civil rights movement, the fight began because equal protection under the law was being denied. Local authorities reversed justice to keep minority communities silent and defenseless.

What we're seeing now is a return to the darkest chapters of that past — when standing up for your rights could get you punished, not protected.

Prosecuting victims should be publicly offensive in 2025. It's exactly why our work matters. Justice should not be reserved for some while others are silenced or criminalized.

This week, Dr. Glick testified before a grand jury. But it's not too late to act. We need to flood the inboxes of New Jersey's leaders — the Attorney General, the Governor, and the Prosecutor — and demand that they drop this outrageous case.

They need to hear that prosecuting a Jewish man for protecting his community is not justice — it's a disgrace. This prosecution sends a chilling message: that Jews are not allowed to defend themselves without facing punishment.

Let's stand together to say loud and clear: Protecting Jews from violence is not a crime.
