2024 NE Senate race: on War & Peace

Preston Love: Dismay at Hamas killings against Israel; it's an act of hate

As a member of the African American race, who has experienced generations of hate and killing, I bring a special sensitivity and awareness of the effects of unbridled hatred. Whether it be African Americans or the Jewish community, it's unacceptable and should be called out and challenged. In 2023, it is a global phenomenon that requires leadership to speak against, not only when it just affects our own constituency, but any constituency.

I acknowledge as a Black leader that the African American and Jewish relationship has always been both supportive and complex. We've had our differences. Hate and violence have never been a component of the Black/Jewish relationship.
