Israel’s far-right Minister of Education Rafi Peretz said during a cabinet meeting that the rate of intermarriage among the U.S. Jewish population is “like a second Holocaust,” according to a report by Axios news outlet published Tuesday. According to Axios, the comments were made during a July 1 cabinet meeting where Dennis Ross, the chairman of the board of the “Jewish People Policy Institute” was giving a talk on trends in the Jewish community around the world, especially in the United States. The briefing included the growing rate of marriages between Jews and non-Jews in the U.S. to which Peretz, the former chief rabbi of the Israeli army, said that the assimilations are like one of the worst periods of human history i.e., the Holocaust.
