Uniting Against Hate: Montana Tucker and Arno Michaelis Speak Out on Holocaust Remembrance Day

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, an impactful video was shared by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), featuring influencer and activist Montana Tucker, alongside Arno Michaelis, a former Neo-Nazi who has since renounced his extremist beliefs. Together, they took a stand against antisemitism and the ongoing need for Holocaust education.

The video, filmed on the iconic Santa Monica Pier in Southern California, showcased Tucker and Michaelis engaging with passersby in meaningful street conversations about the Holocaust and the rise in antisemitism. This outreach initiative comes on the heels of a recent CAM study that revealed a disturbing 61% of American Jews have experienced antisemitism since October 7, 2023—a statistic that emphasizes the urgent need for education and awareness.

“As the granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, I feel it is my duty to honor their stories and ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are not lost on future generations,” said Tucker in the video. “Standing with Arno, who embodies the potential for transformation, proves that even the darkest histories can be turned around through education and empathy. We are showing that meaningful dialogue can break down hatred and build a bridge toward unity.”

Michaelis, who once held radical extremist views, has devoted his life to educating others on the dangers of hate and prejudice. Now, a public speaker, author, and activist, he shares his personal journey of redemption and works to intervene in the lives of those at risk of falling into extremist ideologies.

Published on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, this video highlights the powerful collaboration between Tucker and Michaelis, underscoring how empathy and education can challenge and ultimately reshape deep-seated biases.

CAM, a global coalition of over 850 organizations, continues to be at the forefront of the fight against antisemitism, with over 5 million people from diverse backgrounds working together for a world free from hate.

Their message is clear: through learning from the past and fostering understanding, we can create a future where peace and unity triumph over hate. The combined efforts of voices like Tucker and Michaelis prove that there is always hope for change, even in the face of deep prejudice.

Shashi Tharoor Admits Misjudgment on India’s Neutral Stance in Russia-Ukraine War

Congress leader and Member of Parliament Shashi Tharoor has publicly acknowledged that he was mistaken in opposing India’s neutral stance on the Russia-Ukraine war when it first erupted in 2022. Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi on Tuesday during a session titled ‘Waging Peace: Looking Back to Look Ahead’ , Tharoor candidly admitted that India’s diplomatic approach has, in hindsight, positioned the country as a potential peacemaker on the global stage. "An Egg on My Face" – Tharoor’s Honest Reflection "I am still wiping the egg off my face because I am one person in the parliamentary debate who actually criticized the Indian position at the time back in February 2022," Tharoor confessed. At the time, he had strongly condemned Russia’s military actions, advocating that India should denounce the aggression based on principles of the UN Charter, the sovereignty of Ukraine, and the inviolability of international borders . However, with three years of g...

Delhi High Court Denies Maintenance to Educated Wife: A Landmark Ruling

  In a recent judgment, the Delhi High Court held that a well-educated woman, capable of earning a living, should not remain unemployed just to claim maintenance from her husband. The ruling came in response to a revision petition filed by a woman challenging a family court’s 2022 decision that denied her interim maintenance. The Court’s Stand on Maintenance Justice Chandra Dhari Singh stated that Section 125 of the CrPC aims to protect dependent spouses, children, and parents but does not encourage idleness. He asserted that women with professional qualifications and work experience should make efforts to become financially independent rather than relying on alimony. The court upheld the family court’s decision, noting that the petitioner had a Master’s degree in International Business from the University of Wollongong, Australia , which demonstrated her capability to earn. Furthermore, she had previously worked in Dubai as an Audit Associate at KPMG and later as an HR Manage...
