For ⁦@CJR⁩ I wrote about ⁦@jdforward⁩ and how, over the last year, it has positioned itself more as an authority on opinions about, rather than a driver of reporting on, anti-Semitism. About how it lost America’s Jewish left. cjr.org/special_report…
Jodi Rudoren initially agreed to be interviewed for the piece but days later backtracked, saying no one at the paper would speak to me. I was stonewalled because I had criticized the paper. She responded to facts and allegations only on condition I state as much.
Rudoren went over my head and contacted my editors at @CJR to tell them I am unfit to write a fair piece about the paper and actually implored them to find someone else. Someone there spent time researching all my tweets and sent them to my editors.

I made a list of books Jared Kushner didn’t read:
The Question of Palestine, Edward Said
This Side of Peace, Hanan Ashrawi
Justice for Some, @4noura
Hollow Land, @weizman_eyal
The Wall & The Gate, @sfardm
The Way to the Spring,@BenEhrenreich /1
The Ethnic cleaning of Palestine, Ilan Pappe
Palestine: Peace not Apartheid, Jimmy Carter
Israel:a history, Anita Shapira
Israels Permit Regime: @YaelBerda
Everything by Hilllel Cohen
Everything by Neve Gordon
@YaelBerda There are of course many more - but also, in making this list, it's clear the topic of Israeli-Palestinian relations and history is pretty dominated by men, certainly its seems that way on the Israeli side

Here is my report in @JewishCurrents on what happened at Bard, from the perspectives of the organizer, fellow panelists, protesters, audience members
jewishcurrents.org/what-really-ha…
cc @ShahannaMB @adamshatz @BenLorber8 @Arendt_Center @rudoren
Bard student and SJP member @akiva_hirsch said of his decision to protest the panel, “[Wisse] being Jewish did nothing to inspire the protest. And for what it’s worth, I don’t like protesting my fellow Jews. But sometimes the right thing isn’t the fun thing.”
“What it sounds like in this piece was that I was actually egging on the protest and encouraging the group in a way that simply did not happen. And I’m shocked by this misrepresentation and with the criticisms that are now coming my way." @ShahannaMB a Black Jewish educator.

"I believe Batya Ungar-Sargon’s take on the student protest at the conference cheapens the term; I was there, and I disagree with both her description and interpretation of what happened." From Ken Stern, director of the Bard Center for the Study of Hate forward.com/opinion/letter…
"It was exceptionally clear to me as an audience member that these students protested because they strongly disagreed with Wisse’s views. not because of her Jewishness." It's also clear Batya made it about Batya, when it isn't about her
"Ungar-Sargon’s assertion that bringing Israel into a discussion of anti-Semitism is inherently racist is mind-boggling."

From reading this, you wouldn’t know that bet 2000-2010, thousands more Palestinians were killed by Israel than Israelis killed by Palestinians. You wouldn’t know there’s systematic violence if occupation. 1/ nytimes.com/2019/09/09/opi…
I was a few paces away from some of the worst terror attacks in Tel Aviv just before they happened. I know what it’s like to be on a bus and wonder if it will explode. I watched as Ehud Barak killed the Israeli left. 2/
I gave birth to my son in 2014 while Gaza rockets fired daily at Tel Aviv, under Netanyahu. He is not only bad for Israelis’ security, he has worked against securing Israel as “Jewish and democratic” state and as such he is the leading anti-Zionist in the world. 3/
