WA human rights commissioner resigns amid antisemitism claims

A member of Washington’s Human Rights Commission has resigned after coming under fire for allegations of antisemitism over comments he made in a commission meeting.

Spokane pastor Luc Jasmin made the remarks during a March 2025 discussion of a resolution the commission was considering to condemn antisemitism. He said that Jewish people are “always crying” and questioned if the commission was “under duress” to approve the resolution.

“I don’t have anything against the Jewish community, but knowing the Jewish community, it’s an open door for them to now continue to demand,” Jasmin added.

He also said other groups are subject to mistreatment, including at the hands of Jews.
