Congressman Brad Sherman, representing California's 32nd district since 1997, has been actively engaging with various issues through his social media presence. On February 5, 2025, Sherman addressed misconceptions surrounding the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism and highlighted the actions of Hamas on October 7th.
In a tweet dated February 5, 2025, Congressman Sherman emphasized that the IHRA definition states "criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country can't be regarded as antisemitic.” He further noted that calling for the destruction of Israel is considered antisemitic in theory and practice.
On the same day, Sherman announced his collaboration with fellow Congress members in reintroducing legislation. He stated he was "proud to join @RepMikeLawler and @RepJoshG in reintroducing the Antisemitism Awareness Act", aiming to incorporate IHRA's definition into antidiscrimination laws. Sherman underscored the importance of defining antisemitism to effectively combat it.
On February 6, 2025, Sherman shared details about a meeting with California Governor Gavin Newsom at Capitol Hill. He described it as a "productive meeting" focused on securing expedited disaster aid following the Los Angeles wildfires. During their discussion, he stressed the urgency of addressing FEMA application deadlines to ensure timely assistance.
