This @thecrimson editorial endorsing #BDS is beyond disturbing. Contrary to its claims, endorsing BDS does nothing to help Palestinians & only serves to delegitimize Israel’s existence, and isolate & intimidate the Jewish community, especially on campus. thecrimson.com/article/2022/4…
Moreover, equating #Zionism w/ White Supremacy is outrageously false, & calling Israel an apartheid state is absurd (➡️ adl.org/resources/glos…). The anti-Israel display mentioned in the piece shows no understanding of the region’s past or present. It just spreads misinformation.
Before publishing blanket statements on such complex and important issues, @thecrimson editors should check their own blind spots in this matter and ask why they deem it necessary to expressly single out the State of Israel.
Just imagine if the @thecrimson would have instead promoted engagement and dialogue, and sponsored efforts on campus & beyond to build foundations for a future of self-determination, security and peace for both Israelis and Palestinians.

Throughout her speech Ms. Billoo blamed America’s Jewish institutions – from civil rights orgs to respected campus orgs to charitable orgs to virtually every synagogue in the US – for a variety of America's illls, including Islamophobia. Classic conspiratorial #antisemitism.
She discouraged engagement, dialogue & partnership with the Jewish community. By her standard, no synagogue from any major Jewish movement—including the OU, USCJ, URJ, Reconstructionist, or Renewal— should be welcomed, because they are all her “enemies” and “polite Zionists.”
She spins a vast conspiracy around Jewish orgs supporting poverty, homelessness, and police brutality and attacking Muslim Americans for their opposition. Claiming that American Jews are working to subject our fellow Americans to poverty and brutality is wildly antisemitic.

It is unconscionable that a small group of Members of Congress -- the so-called "Squad" -- demanded that the House leadership strip out funding for Israel’s Iron Dome before they would approve the CR.
The Iron Dome is a defensive system designed to protect civilians. Innocent people of all ethnicities & faiths -- Jews, Muslims, Christians, Druze and others -- depend on the Iron Dome for protection when terror groups like Hamas + Hezbollah launch thousands of rockets at them.
It is a disgrace that the Squad succeeded. It emboldens Hamas & Hezbollah and others enemies of peace. To the MOCs who made the demands, look at the below. Every intercepted rocket was fired indiscriminately toward civilian centers with 1 goal: the brazen murder of innocents.

Thread re: today’s story from the @Nytimes on Trump pardons. This is a real issue that merits attention but nonetheless, this article is problematic in its coverage of Orthodox Jewish organizations. nytimes.com/2021/03/21/us/…
For example, what does the Orthodox Jewish nature of the org. have to do with the point of the story? Did the journalist identify the religion of every person exonerated and identify a pattern? This isn’t a wink and a nod toward some Jewish conspiracy, it’s outright misleading.
And this isn’t the first time that Orthodox Jews have been called out by the @nytimes in questionable ways.
We saw it in the way they were portrayed by the paper early last year, as if they were singularly spreading #COVID19. And now we see this in the early days of 2021.

We cannot allow the historic & horrific events of the past 48 hours to fade without significant consequences. In our 100+ years of history, @ADL has never called for the President of the United States to be removed from office. Today, that changes. adl.org/news/press-rel…
What occurred on Wed. was inexcusable. An act of domestic terror was encouraged by President Trump & organized on social media. It will be remembered as one of the darkest days of our democracy & makes it unambiguously clear: President Trump is unfit for office & must be removed.
The images of extremists assaulting police officers, rampaging through the halls of Congress, desecrating the symbol of our democracy had no precedent in our history. The incitement of the mob by @realDonaldTrump was an amoral act that debases the presidency & imperils society.

THREAD: In the wake of the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, @Twitter must enforce its rules suspending accounts that post & spread QAnon conspiracy theories that glorify violence, target democratic institutions & seed militant insurrection. adl.org/qanon
QAnon played a key role in the terror attack on the Capitol. QAnon accounts on Twitter and other platforms hailed the violence as a first step in a civil war. According to reports, QAnon supporters were among the first militants to enter the Capitol. usatoday.com/story/tech/202…
One of these supporters, Jake Angeli, a far-right conspiracy theorist dubbed the “QAnon Shaman,” has been a visible presence at several far-right rallies supporting the president’s attempts to discredit the 2020 election. news.yahoo.com/well-known-qan…
