This is a mind boggling read ☹️
It's a fairly dry piece with lots of data, but very important for pro-Israel activists to understand that the loss of support for Israel on the left is a package deal, i.e. part of a larger &massive shift in views that are not necessarily reality-based.

E.g. despite #woke claims about US racism, "multiple recent studies find no racial disparities in police use of deadly force. The odds of an unarmed black person being shot by police appear to approximate his/her chance of being struck by lightning."
tabletmag.com/jewish-news-an…
Never mind the facts, but fed by social media outrage "America is perceived as incorrigibly unjust, racist, and in need of radical transformation." That's of course the wave Linda Sarsour &Co are riding (and constantly augmenting)
tabletmag.com/jewish-news-an…
"Due at least in part to digital media, white liberal attitudes that more or less endured for decades have been drastically overturned in the space of months or single years." (Or: why I am a politically homeless lapsed leftist ☹️)

.@RutgersU prof @JazzBeerPooAre is really in a class of her own.
I wrote about her e.g. here:
"Puar’s well attended talk...offered updated versions of pretty much every anti-Jewish calumny ever invented in history and applied to the Jewish state."
campusfairness.org/demonizing-isr…
So it's not surprising to discover now when I checked her more recent output that she's a fan of Alison Weir's antisemitic site "If Americans Knew"...
If you need to read up on "If Americans Knew", it's so bad that even some anti-Israel groups have distanced themselves from them.

Well done @Eva_Cosse -- I'm so glad that finally, @hrw seems to begin to take antisemitism seriously.
So maybe @hrw will also look at its own deplorable record in mainstreaming antisemitism. Let me give you a few examples 1/x
Top @hrw official @sarahleah1 has repeatedly legitimized sites that are known for promoting antisemitic content as reputable news sites. Here's a thread with a few examples 👇
Some more examples illustrating @sarahleah1's openly displayed hatred for the world's only Jewish state

Both @AFP's @joedyke and @hrw's @OmarSShakir know full well that this Gideon Levy piece is just his usual vile propaganda. Already on May 21, @Jerusalem_Post reported that the story put out by Palestinian sites was NOT true. 1/x
Here's the @Jerusalem_Post report

Even earlier, on May 20, the @JewishChron's @Daniel_Sugarman reported about how this lie had spread, noting: "The one thing all these groups [spreading the lie] have in common is that they believe Israel to be an unparalleled evil."

Last week, the College Council at @WilliamsCollege denied Williams Initiative for Israel’s (WIFI) request to become a registered student organization even tho the club complied with all CC bylaws for recognition.
It was the first club in over a decade that complied with all @WilliamsCollege College Council bylaws for recognition but failed to gain registered student organization status, according to archived College Council minutes.
This is nothing short of a double standard and an affront to free speech.

BREAKING - Likely #Israel airstrikes just hit a scientific research center - reportedly linked to the SSRC - in #Latakia.

#Assad regime air defenses were allegedly activated in multiple provinces: #Latakia, #Tartus, #Homs & #Hama.
Mabrouk #Assad - your invincible air defenses shot down an aircraft!

... a #Russia IL-20 reconnaissance plane was shot down over #Syria tonight - amid #Israel airstrikes in #Latakia.

#OwnGoal

Tonight’s developments vis-a-vis #Israel & Russia are a pretty big deal.

It would seem #Israel may have acted without giving #Moscow prior warning = big challenge to their prior arrangement.

Or, #Russia did know, but got attacked by their errant ally in #Damascus = humiliating.

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
#Trolls #Palestine #Gaza #BDS #JeremyCorbyn #JC4PM
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."

Just to state the obvious: This is largest confrontation between #Israel and #Syria since 1973; the first time #Iran and the IRGC themselves launched missiles at #Israel. Expect even more.
With all the targeting in Damascus #Syria, expect #Israel to go after the main IRGC headquarters near the Damascus Airport. Around 1,000 IRGC tend to be stationed there, along with senior leadership.
Suggestion: If you thought what the US did in response to the April CW attack in #Syria was strong, fasten your seat belts.

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…
