Global Reckoning
Rubio: Hamas and Hitler Share the Same Goal — A World Without Jews
U.S. Secretary of State slams anti-Israel rhetoric at global antisemitism summit: “There are no shades of hate”
In a powerful speech delivered via video to the International Summit on Combating Antisemitism, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio drew a chilling comparison: “Adolf Hitler dreamed of a world without Jews. Hamas dreams the same.”
Hosted by Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, the summit brought together global leaders to address the sharp rise in antisemitism. Rubio declared that antisemitism is not just ancient—it's aggressively modern, citing the recent murder of two Israelis outside the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
“The killer screamed ‘Free Palestine’ after the murders,” Rubio said. “Those words are now being used as a battle cry for killing Jews. There’s no nuance between hating Jews and hating Israel. It’s the same poison.”
He added that the U.S., under the Trump administration, had enacted new visa restrictions to keep foreign inciters out of the country, and called on global institutions to take responsibility for antisemitic rhetoric within their ranks.
Rubio closed on a hopeful note, invoking the Abraham Accords and the vision of a better Middle East:
“We can imagine a region where peace is real—and hatred is history.”
