🧵 Thread on California ethnic studies and the Jewish community.

The good news is that @JIMENA_Voice worked to get a lesson plan on Mizrahi Jews in the state's model curriculum and succeeded...

1/ ... It includes the IHRA definition of antisemitism.

There’s also another lesson plan on the broader Jewish community and antisemitism included in the final draft of the curriculum.

BDS is not in the final draft.

Many groups worked to achieve these results. 🙌

Wow...

Ilhan Omar to @JakeTapper on her Jewish colleagues who criticized her comments:

"they haven't been partners in justice... they haven't been, you know, equally engaging in seeking justice around the world."

Jewish Members of Congress have been some of the most vocal on global human rights issues, including for example the Darfur genocide in Sudan.

This what Jews are facing in 2021:

The Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (@scbwi) fired their Equity & Inclusion Officer because she made a statement unequivocally condemning antisemitism. ⬇️ To the leadership at @scbwi: if you fired someone for speaking out against antisemitism, then you should stay as far away from children and children's books as possible.

Front page story by @sarahparvini in @latimes about pro-Palestinian activists and progressive coalitions.

I'm quoted on why referring to Zionism as white supremacy is insidious an ignorant. @RepRitchie is noted as a prominent pro-Israel progressive.

🚨🚨 Tonight pro-Palestinian individuals were driving with megaphones around La Cienega & Beverly (a heavily Jewish area) in Los Angeles and threw objects at Jews at a restaurant table. Some threw things back.

The pro-Palestinian group came to the sidewalk to fight.

1/ Reportedly the drivers were yelling "F**k the Jews."

You can see the pro-Palestinian group attacking two people on the sidewalk In this video, and one of them fights back.
