B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin was honored to introduce Heideman at the event.

We’re proud to celebrate this deeply deserved recognition. ⚖️

For decades, Heideman has been a steadfast advocate for human rights, the Jewish people and a strong, secure Israel—work that has taken him from U.N. halls to courtrooms and communities around the world.

Thank you to Austria, next year’s host, and Germany (among others) for standing firmly against turning Eurovision into yet another arena for attempting to delegitimize Israel.

Congratulations to those countries on achieving nothing—except putting their anti-Semitism on full display and denying young singers the chance to perform.

If skipping a cultural event meant to unify is what it takes to appease the anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hostility simmering at home, so be it.

Israel, forced into a war by the unprovoked horrific Hamas Oct. 7 massacre, must defend itself and fight Hamas operatives wherever they are. The U.N. then accuses Israel of war crimes.

The past two years, in a nutshell.

Everyone who witnessed the atrocities that Hamas commando units committed on Oct. 7 understands that this isn’t a call for stability or safety—it’s a call for violence against Israelis.
