Jewish Voice for Peace has 15,000 members. There are 7 million American Jews. 92% of them are Zionists. J Street called out Ilhan Omar.
The American Jewish community is overwhelmingly pro-Israel and anti-Occupation, just like every Democratic 2020 hopeful. It's something neither the far left nor the right wants you to believe is possible. It is. Jewish & Palestinian self-determination are not a zero sum game.
Driving Jews out of the left by asking us to be silent about anti-Semitism is not going to end the occupation. The opposite. And it will make America much, much worse.

Would love to know who @IlhanMN thinks is paying American politicians to be pro-Israel, though I think I can guess. Bad form, Congresswoman. That's the second anti-Semitic trope you've tweeted.
@IlhanMN To all the people in my mentions and DMs who think that S1 was the work of AIPAC: I have a bridge I want to sell you. Either way, OF COURSE it's possible to critique AIPAC et al in a non-anti-Semitic way. This ain't it, chief.
@IlhanMN How, you ask? (1) Be accurate. AIPAC has taken a huge hit in the Trump era. (2) Avoid the conspiracy theories David Duke loves about dark Jewish money and Jewish pupeteers controlling stuff (3) Recall the 80 million evangelicals who are the actual Israel lobby, for whom S1 tolls.

The Israeli Right Wing Troll Factory has been in overdrive smearing Black Jews here in the US, calling them anti-Semitic for pointing out the FACT that white Jews in the US have white privilege. It's spilled into @JPostOpinion w an embarrassing screed that gets everything wrong.
(1) Why do Israelis think they get to lecture Black Jews in America talking about race here in the US? (2) This embarrassing screed gets @IBJIYONGI's argument, words, and employment wrong (3) It ends by telling Professor CPW to stay in her lane. Like, THIS IS HER LANE HELLO?
PSA: STOP TRYING TO SILENCE BLACK PEOPLE. Stop policing US Jews having a reckoning about race FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY. This is NOT ABOUT YOU. It's high time for American Jews to have an honest reckoning about race and thank God it's happening. Anyone trying to shut it down - GTFO.

Looks like @birthright has kicked a group of participants off the trip for "hijacking the conversation" by asking about the wall. Protip: Don't call yourself a Jewish organization if you expel people for asking questions. It's LITERALLY the reason God created the Jews.
The utter gall of these people, to make the children of intermarried couples feel less than, to bang on and on hysterically about "assimilation" and people abandoning Jewish values WHILE PENALIZING ASKING QUESTIONS AND PASSIONATE DEBATE - literally the earliest Jewish values.
God literally made Abraham Jewish to give God a hard time when God wasn't in the mood to do justice. He literally made us to be his conscience, to hijack conversations and demand justice. And @birthright is actually kicking out Jews for having the epitome of Jewish values. Smdh

🇮🇱🇮🇱THREAD ON ANTI-SEMITISM & ISRAEL🇮🇱🇮🇱

Those who conflate opposition to unquestioning support for Israel with anti-Semitism are like #JussieSmollett: they cheapen the experiences of actual victims of anti-Semitism
Let's be clear, anti-Semitism is real and, sadly, it's on the rise in the U.S., especially since the 2016 election. According to the Anti-Defamation League, there was a 60% increase in anti-Semitic incidents from 2016 to 2017.

The massacre at the #TreeOfLifeSynagogue last fall was the deadliest attack on the American Jewish community in U.S. history. And it was committed by an anti-Semitic white nationalist.

1) #Israel released a report today called "Terrorists in Suits" about the secret links between the BDS movement and terrorism.

I thought it would be interesting to draw some connections between the report and other things we hear.

2) "The Boycott, Divestiture and Sanctions" movement likes to claim that it is about achieving "justice" for the "oppressed" Palestinian people.

On its face, most people can understand that idea.

3) But BDS is illegal in much of the United States.

"Around half of the US’s 50 states have anti-BDS laws, which in various ways prohibit granting state contracts to companies which boycott Israel."

We came to live in Israel because Golda Meir, who was Prime Minister at the time, told us to. True story. And I only learnt of it yesterday. 1/
My brother and I were sitting at the Shiva (seven days of mourning in Jewish tradition) of our Israeli cousin, the original symbol in our family of the tough, outspoken, hardworking, softhearted, good looking Sabra, born a day before my father but worlds apart. 2/
And we sat and talked about the old days, as one does, with his widow and his children, who are a few years older than us. They were very supportive of us when we first arrived in the country. 3/

Meet #Israel's #Hasbara, which means #Propaganda, MSM Censorship Application👇🤨
This app came out about last year, and it is still on the iTunes store.
The app posts daily missions & TELLS YOU WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO SAY

6yrs ago #Jerusalem, #IDF Rep:
"we are now located in the SAME building where the Foreign Journalists are,we have close working relationships w/ hundreds of journalists. In addition we launched media project working in many platforms,twitter in Arabic, Russian, French & English."
How #Israel-i Propaganda (#Hasbara) Works: #TheLuntzDocument
If you want to understand how the #propaganda works you need to read the Luntz document -- "The Key," Luntz says, "is the Claim that the Fight is Over Ideology, Not Land. About Terror, & Not Territory."

A recent Pew poll indicates a staggering divergence in views on #Israel vs the Arabs of Palestine between Republicans and Democrats in America. Increasingly, Israel is becoming a one-party, Republican, issue. How and why did this happen? THREAD city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…
The largely Democratic American Jewish political establishment argues the Trump admin through its #Jerusalem capital recognition/embassy move decisions and beyond are cynically acting as staunchly pro-#Israel, "politicizing" the issue. Pew says otherwise city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…
According to the Pew poll on American views on #Israel vs. Arabs of Palestine, not just conservatives, but every group of American voters surveyed supports Israel over the Palestinians by a wide margin—with the single exception of “liberal Democrats.” city-journal.org/html/israel-pa…
