Our concern about the participation of the JDL in Sunday’s march prompted us to speak too soon. We know that the fight against antisemitism is part of the fight for collective liberation for all people. [1/4]
Because of that we consistently show up not just for others but also for ourselves — that’s what freedom and dignity for all means. It is for this reason that many of our members will be marching on January 5, alongside our friends and partners and broader community. [2/4]
We disagree profoundly with many of the organizers, and we reject tactics that rely on policing or alignment with white nationalists. We know that those tactics harm Jews of Color and harm many of the communities with which we need to build solidarity. [3/4]

Tuesday's #SafetyinSolidarity interfaith rally featured at a number of anti-Zionist speakers. A police officer asked ppl if they were Zionists as a barrier was erected to separate the rally from protestors. One officer told me, "Zionists on the other side of the barrier."
The officer also asked someone holding an Israeli flag to move to the other side of the barrier. Some clearly came to counter-protest Linda Sarsour and JVP, so the separation is understandable. But they also removed Zionists and ppl w/ Israeli flags who did not disrupt the event.
One advocate at the rally wore this "Resist Zionism" shirt.

One speaker once Tweeted "Every Jewish person" has "ex-officio citizenship in Israel" and is "responsible for its leaders."
