1. Dave #Chappelle is a comedian who has offended just about everyone. He can make whatever jokes he wants.
That said, we're an education organization and Chappelle's appearance on @nbcsnl offers a teachable moment.
Thread:
2. He makes fun of fake or forced statements against #antisemitism. Those really are unhelpful and unnecessary. During this time of rising bigotry against #Jews, we need real love, support, and understanding.
3. #Chappelle is right that Black Americans should not be blamed for #antisemitism as a whole. And at the same time, individual leaders or members of the community should always be called out if they promote hate against #Jews. The same standards should apply to everyone.

BREAKING: You saw the outrageous news last week that a coalition of @BerkeleyLaw School student groups passed bylaws prohibiting "#Zionist" (i.e.
Jewish) speakers at their events. We found that 1/2 the #antisemitic groups are FUNDED BY MAJOR LAW FIRMS, & we have the receipts. 1/7

@GEICO, by now you've heard a lot of people are upset that you gave a platform to Linda Sarsour. Here's a summary of her long track record of spreading hate:
Sarsour has close ties to the Nation of Islam (NOI), a racist, #antisemitic & homophobic hate group, according to @splcenter. Sarsour pays NOI members to act as her security detail & embraces their hateful leader Louis Farrakhan.

Multiple UN Secretaries-General have condemned the UN's "Human Rights Council" (UNHRC) for its systemic bias and discrimination against #Israel, and it's only getting worse.

jpost.com/israel-news/ar…
According to leading historians, most of the 500-750,000 Palestinian refugees from 1948 fled to escape a war of destruction that Palestinian leaders & Arab states launched against #Israel. A small minority were expelled by Israeli forces or left because Arab forces told them to.
This refugee crisis (which Palestinians call the #Nakba) was followed by nearly 850,000 Jews fleeing or being expelled from Arab states. There is no comparison between these tragedies and the #Holocaust - an industrial-scale genocide in which the Nazis murdered 6 million Jews.

NYC Mayoral Candidate Andrew Yang wrote an article in which he denounced antisemitism and anti-Israel boycotts, and is now being attacked.

forward.com/opinion/462603…
We take no position on the NYC Mayoral race, but strongly oppose efforts to intimidate leaders who take a stand against BDS, which is a campaign of hate.
The purpose of BDS is not to protest Israeli policies as some claim, but to isolate and pressure Israel until it collapses as a Jewish and democratic state. Furthermore, BDS actively harms peace efforts by opposing Israeli-Palestinian cooperation.
