Since Maccabi Tel Aviv is trending, come and get to know its soccer/football fans who ignited anti-Arab hate and violence in Amsterdam, leading to reprisals from Arabs who were attacked (and who are universally being smeared as antisemites engaging in pogroms).

🧵
Here is a report from an Israeli agency, who sent observers to every match to find 190 incidents of racist chants, calling 2022-2023 "the most racist and violent" soccer season in Israel's history. Including routinely chanting "monkey" at Black players.

This predominant fan culture in Israeli soccer isn't only home calling foreign team bigoted things, but also veers into going after each other. The study found 20 matches where fans would call for "Shoah" of the opposing Israeli team.

As we go into new campus actions for Gaza across the world, you're going to see a lot of our legacy Jewish orgs using polls to tell you how antisemitic our universities are.

The problem with these polls?

🧵
Nearly all of these polls assume that when a student is asked about antisemitism, they have a good analysis of what it means.

One way to examine the polls that are coming, is to look up their methodology, which is rarely reported in articles that mention the polls.

2/
So @BrandeisU's new poll will be used in media, talks & emails to politicians, agencies, parents etc saying students are swimming in antisemitism.

Who/how they "fixed" the poll won't be reported.

Here's fine print admitting they only polled kids who went on trips to Israel.

3 Note: See Table B3 in Technical Appendix B for 95% confidence intervals and significance tests. The 2023 data on Jewish students were drawn from applicants to Birthright Israel.

We’ve been told as Jews that the slightest micro aggressions by individuals births antisemitism so dangerous we must have zero tolerance.

Today we’re told that open genocide, apartheid & ethnic cleansing in co-opting our name, faith, history & even synagogues doesn’t fuel antisemitism & we should tolerate it for our survival. 🧵
If some among us can’t navigate through hasbara engineered to rob us of our humanity for Palestinians and Arabs, and instead favor an often outsized moral panic over our daily safety, one would think maybe at least you can attempt to see our own self interest in ending this. This which will fuel antisemitism for decades to come, putting our lives in danger.

2
A common reply to this idea has been a smear. That this frames Jews for our own antisemitism. Yet, if you stay beyond the sound bites you’ll learn that many of us who look deeply into antisemitism history know that it’s invented by right wing Europeans and utilized by white supremacy as a middle man, a steam valve, to offer the poor a target.

From a booklet distributed by @DemMaj4Israel at the DNC today, touting 22 years of Kamala Harris' support for Israel, including this bit of her backing the criminal prosecution of Muslim students who interrupted an Israeli government speaker at their school. 62. 5/8/11: As 11 UC Irvine students “accused of conspiring to, then successfully executing, a disruption of Israel Ambassador Michael Oren's speech in February 2010” sought to evade prosecution, Harris said in court documents that “Orange County prosecutors should remain on the case.” [Daily Pilot, 05/08/11] - Democratic Majority for Israel
@DemMaj4Israel The students prosecuted are referred to as the Irvine 11, who were moved by Israel's 2008-2009 massacres inside Gaza which killed 1500 Palestinians and left 100,000 homeless.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine_11…
@DemMaj4Israel Here's the amicus brief from lawyers at @theCCR and @jvplive on discriminatory enforcement on the Muslim students, such that had not been seen for other protestors first amendment rights and those who had interrupted even longer.

9 reasons Josh Shapiro could sink Kamala Harris ‘ campaign. 🧵 Image
1. Josh Shapiro is racist 1 Josh Shapiro is racist. In college, alongside his classmate’s pro-peace article, Shapiro wrote an opinion titled “Peace not possible”, opposing a two-state solution, claiming Palestinians are “too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.” and the Palestinian president who aimed for peace would be killed “by his fellow belligerent Arabs.”
2 Josh Shapiro volunteered with the IDF 2 Shapiro volunteered with the IDF Josh Shapiro isn’t Israeli, and has lived as an American all his life, but volunteered with the Israeli Defense Forces. The IDF was implicated then with supporting apartheid and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians, and today with genocide. During this period, Palestinians embarked on the “First Intifada”, a largely non violent protest movement for freedom, while IDF’s leader promised to “break their bones” and Israel’s Prime Minister promised to have their “heads smashed against the boulders and walls” and “crushed like grasshoppers.”

Kamala's entry to the race affords Democrats not a reset in swing state voter excitement but an opportunity to reset.

An opportunity she can throw away, in whole, by selecting PA Governor Josh Shapiro as her VP.

Here's why. 🧵
White nationalist aligned Republicans use Gaza protests to do what they've dreamt of doing for generations: delegitimize secular higher learning in favor of far right religious dogma.

Democrats have an opportunity to position themselves in contrast by choosing freedom of speech.

2/
Josh Shapiro did the opposite, and collaborated with GOP strategies to vilify and criminalize free speech by students, even repeating far right talking points against those students, and against the freedom of speech we'll need to fight for democracy.
