Got it.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams and Cohen write that they chose DeSantis because a \u201cremarkable Jewish renaissance is under way in Florida.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is. Our family is part of that renaissance. We moved from New York to Florida in January in large part because of the governor\u2019s leadership. COVID policies were at the forefront of our decision, but DeSantis fighting woke nonsense in schools and putting parental rights at the top of his agenda have also been positive.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Museum_Jewish_Heritage5.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The museum made the \u201ccontractual and logistical decision\u201d to deny rental space to Tikvah, an organization that has hosted many events at the museum, because DeSantis was to be a speaker.\" class=\"wp-image-22187875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Museum_Jewish_Heritage5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Museum_Jewish_Heritage5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/Museum_Jewish_Heritage5.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The museum made the \u201ccontractual and logistical decision\u201d to deny rental space to Tikvah, an organization that has hosted many events at the museum, because DeSantis was to be a speaker.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Gregory P. Mango<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And our governor takes the safety and security of Jews in his state very seriously.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, I wrote in these pages again and again and again that Jews were being assaulted in New York and our elected officials barely mentioned it. Then-Mayor Bill de Blasio kept blaming imaginary Donald Trump supporters, who apparently exist in far larger numbers in New York City than anyone had ever known. Then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo would also offer lip service after every attack. Both men, however, enjoyed ratcheting up the rhetoric against Jews when they blamed the Jewish community for COVID spread in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>But my governor simply does not play when it comes to the safety of Jews in his state. Last June, legislation assigning millions of dollars in funding for various Holocaust memorials included, he noted, \u201c$4 million in security funding for Florida\u2019s Jewish Day Schools, including for the first time ever funding for professional security.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>DeSantis said, \u201cI\u2019m proud to sign these bills today to help protect religious freedom in Florida and increase the safety and security of our Jewish communities. I will continue to make sure that in Florida we root out anti-Semitism and that every day we show our support for Israel and our Jewish communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the museum allowed a 2018 event with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez about <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/diaspora\/round-three-ocasio-cortez-backpedals-on-two-state-solution-comments-562736\">a month after<\/a> she was famously forced to dial back her support for a two-state solution in Israel as leftist thought does not allow for Israel\u2019s existence at all. Does <em>that<\/em> \u201calign with the museum\u2019s values\u201d? Is this the ideology we must all be forced to adhere to before renting space at the museum?<\/p>\n<p>When a Jewish museum bars DeSantis for having the wrong opinions, they bar me and so many other Jews, conservative or otherwise, too. We know that if he is unwelcome, we are also unwelcome.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Hate Can Do\u201d is driving Americans apart. Anyone still funding the Museum of Jewish Heritage should think long and hard about whether that\u2019s something worth support.<\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @Karol<\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
