He expressed concern over the cultural narratives that lead some Christians to support antisemitic rhetoric, urging a return to truth and solidarity.
As Mark concluded his remarks, he pointed to the need for positivity and action.
"We can't give up. It's not an option," he declared, urging viewers to spread awareness and join the fight against hatred.
