April 28, 2025 — New York, New York
At a time of rising antisemitism and global uncertainty following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, there are some bold elected leaders who have spoken out with courage and conviction.
In this AJC Global Forum 2025 session, we hear from two such allies: Tabata Amaral, Federal Deputy, Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, and John Weinerhall, Member of Parliament, Swedish Riksdag.
They have championed Israel’s right to self-defense and defended Jewish communities in their countries—despite facing political and public backlash. Their leadership is a powerful reminder of the importance of moral clarity on the global stage.
Moderated by Julie Rayman, AJC’s Managing Director of Policy and Political Affairs.
