NEW — The Trump State Dept. is using the *same language* Columbia used to smear & punish the school's Students for Justice in Palestine & Jewish Voice for Peace groups (for a protest Mohsen Mahdawi condemned an antisemitic disruptor at) to *now* justify deporting him.

Read on —>
So, State Dept cites alleged “threatening rhetoric and intimidation" as reason to deport Mohsen, without elaborating.

The phrase doesn’t show up much…except by *Columbia itself* when it suspended JVP & SJP after a Nov '23 rally where *Mohsen* shut down an antisemitic disruptor. Image
Image
"Threatening rhetoric and intimidation” has since been cited in Congress & the media in relation to Columbia, as proof of campus antisemitism warranting crackdowns.

The problem? Columbia itself privately walked back the characterization — but has refused to do so publicly. Image

Wow—Girl scouts wanted to make bracelets to help aid Palestinian kids. @girlscouts leadership threatened them, saying they must "stay neutral."
After it was pointed out there've been similar efforts for Ukraine, they pivoted, saying the troop didn't follow "approval processes":
Image
Sure, the Girl Scout troop may not have followed standard processes when they began their fundraising project for Palestinian kids.
But to immediately threaten legal action against a bunch of scouts & their parents — instead of just helping them do those processes — is appalling.

Lee: "Over the top?' That's leverage?"

(2 days after Biden called Israel's behavior "over the top," it attacked the last refuge for 1.5 million Palestinians—killing 90+)

NEW: The Biden administration has issued a memo requiring foreign governments assure they won’t violate human rights with US weapons. The memo also affirms the “Leahy Law” which bars US military aid being used to violate human rights.

Memo applies to states in ongoing conflicts. Image
For states in an “active armed conflict” in which U.S. weapons are being used, they will have 45 days to issue their assurances of not violating human rights.

If those appropriate assurances are not sent by the deadline, the transfer of weapons will be paused. Image
Note this exception in Biden’s memo on weapons transfers & human rights: it doesn’t apply to air defense systems, arms “for strictly defense purposes,” arms “that are non-lethal in nature,” or transfers “strictly for the operational needs of the DoD” Image

210 bipartisan members of Congress wrote to Antony Blinken, expressing their "disgust" at South Africa’s suit accusing Israel of genocide.

They praise WH spokesperson John Kirby calling the case "meritless, counterproductive, and completely without basis in fact whatsoever." Image

Q: Do you condemn Netanyahu using the phrase “from the river to the sea”?

White House spokesman John Kirby: We don’t recommend using the phrase because it’s connotation with Hamas

Q: But this wasn’t Hamas, it was Netanyahu

Kirby: I understand–I don’t have anything more on that
