For @elonmusk to allow Donald Trump back on Twitter, ostensibly after a brief poll, shows he is not remotely serious about safeguarding the platform from hate, harassment and misinformation.
As we've said before, Trump used Twitter to foment intolerance, issue threats and incite a violent attack against the US government. Moreover, he has shown no indication that he would do anything different if given the opportunity.
When @ADL and other #StopHateforProfit leaders met with Elon Musk on 11/1, he committed to not replatform anyone, regardless of stature, until he installed a transparent, clear process that took into consideration the views of civil society.
.@elonmusk's decisions over the last month have been erratic and alarming, but this decision is dangerous and a threat to American democracy. We need to ask — is it time for Twitter to go?

It took just two days for @adidas to (rightfully) take action against @WestHam's Kurt Zouma for hitting cats. Yet weeks of virulent #antisemitism from @kanyewest has resulted in silence. Join us in demanding @adidas #RunAwayFromHate. Contact them here: adl.salsalabs.org/runawayfromant…
When Teyana Taylor cyber-bullied @rihanna, @adidas dropped her saying, “We evaluate our relationships with partners based on the values we hold.” What values does adidas have that keep you partnering with Kanye and his rabid #antisemitism? bet.com/article/v9ic1h…
What are @adidas’ values when they ignore #antisemitism from @kanyewest? Especially when @adidas has a Nazi past. The founders were Nazis, supported the Hitler Youth movement, built Nazi anti-tank weapons in their factory, & signed letters “Heil Hitler.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Das….

After a recent speech I made, some took issue with my comparing the antisemitic threat of anti-Zionist orgs, ie @NationalSJP, to that posed by far-right extremist orgs. In a recent @TimesofIsrael piece, I explain how & why anti-Zionism is #antisemitism. 🧵blogs.timesofisrael.com/you-dont-need-…
To be fair, the threats of the far-left & extreme-right are very different. As @ADL's documented for yrs, far-right extremism is a singularly lethal threat to the Jewish community, other marginalized communities, & to America. But the anti-Zionist far-left is also a major issue.
First, let's define our terms. #Zionism = belief that the Jewish people have the right to self-determination & statehood in their ancestral homeland. The yearning to return to Zion (the biblical term for Israel) has been central to Judaism and Jewish identity for 1000s of years.

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.

For people alarmed about what is happening in #Ukraine (and that should be everyone) and who want to do something, here are some suggestions. A thread:

The @RedCrossUkraine is actively on the ground assisting in #Ukraine. You can donate: donate.redcrossredcrescent.org/ua/donate/~my-…

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.
