The Decalogue Society of Lawyers, is a representative of the legal community and is dedicated to justice, equality, and the protection of civil rights. Decalogue unequivocally denounces the abhorrent displays of antisemitism witnessed yesterday, July 24, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
During these events in the nation’s capital, acts of hatred and bigotry were brazenly directed at members of the Jewish community, including former hostages taken into captivity by Hamas in their October 7 terrorist attack on Israel. Such displays not only defy the principles of tolerance and inclusivity that our society cherishes but also strike at the heart of our shared commitment to uphold fundamental human rights.
As an organization rooted in the pursuit of justice and equality under the law, the Decalogue Society of Lawyers reaffirms its steadfast opposition to all forms of discrimination and prejudice. Antisemitism, in particular, has no place in a civilized society and must be met with resolute condemnation and decisive action.
“We are appalled by the egregious and disgusting acts of antisemitism witnessed yesterday in Washington, D.C.,” said Joel Bruckman, President of the Decalogue Society of Lawyers. “Such displays of hatred are not only an attack on the Jewish community but on the principles of justice and equality that we hold dear. We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and reaffirm our commitment to combating antisemitism wherever it may arise.”
The Decalogue Society of Lawyers calls upon all leaders, our fellow Bar Associations, and individuals of conscience to condemn these acts and work tirelessly toward a society where all individuals are treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their race, religion, or background.
