TMZ Publishes Antisemitic, Death-Threat Voicemails Targeting Rep. Jared Moskowitz

On Friday, TMZ published a series of voicemails left for U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) that contained explicit antisemitic slurs, calls for violence, and repeated death threats. The recordings, first highlighted by Mediaite, include violent rhetoric, Holocaust references and false accusations aimed at Moskowitz and the broader Jewish community.

What the Voicemails Contain

The messages feature a range of abusive and threatening language. Selected excerpts include:

"The U.S. government needs to kill Jews. You kill these fucking nasty Jews. Israel is an abomination; it’s fake. Jews from Europe are fake Jews. These are Ashkenazi, Satanic, fake Jews. Kill every single fucking Zionest scumbag."

"He calls himself, 'The honorable.' You mean honorable Israel bootlicker? You fucking maggot… You’re not a fucking American at all. You’re the Hitler."

"Hey, you Zionist Jew fucking pig, how 'bout no more money for Israel? … Well, we know Moskowitz is a Satanic, child-murdering pedophile."

"Let me get this right. We’ve gotta borrow money to fund Israel’s Iron Dome. Why the fuck don’t them Jew pigs borrow money? … I can’t wait 'til Iran nukes Israel, and that would settle everything."

"Oh no, they want more civilian deaths! Well, if it’s Israel’s civilians, yeah, sure. How 'bout nine million of 'em? Trains are boarding to Germany, showers available upon request! You fucking Zionist Jew pig fuck.”

These messages combine antisemitic stereotypes, calls for genocide, Holocaust-era imagery and personal attacks against an elected official, including accusations of criminal behavior without evidence.

Response From Moskowitz

Rep. Jared Moskowitz told TMZ that he regularly receives voicemail messages telling him to be killed and encouraging violence against Jews. "I get people who leave me voicemails that say they wanna kill me, kill Jews… It's scary," he said, noting concerns for his family and that many people in the Jewish community feel frightened by such threats.

Why This Matters

Threatening and dehumanizing speech against protected groups, and explicit calls for violence, are serious matters with real-world consequences. Public dissemination of these voicemails has drawn attention to the rising prevalence of violent rhetoric directed at public officials and minority communities, and underscores concerns about safety and the spread of hate speech.
