HIAS Responds to Deadly Attack on Pittsburgh Synagogue

Melanie Nezer, senior vice president of public affairs at HIAS, a nonprofit organization that provides humanitarian aid and assistance to refugees, talks about the weekend's deadly attack at a Pittsburgh synagogue, where the suspect allegedly put up derogatory posts about the work HIAS does for refugees on a social network.

Thank you Melanie! So moved by you and your organization's work. I'm so sorry for the context that you're on the air.

This guy is a great example of some of the dangerous rhetoric dresses up as compassion. Keep your name and keep up the good work. I'm a gentile and I care about what you do first but love that you keep HEBREW in your name to share where your love comes from. Exicted to share info
