We are disgusted that Trump & his antisemitic, neo-Nazi allies are planning to deport students & other immigrants for protesting the Israeli military's assault on Gaza, while gutting academic freedom by threatening to withhold billions in federal funding for universities. 🧵.

This is an abomination. As Jews, to see this being done in our name. horrifying, despicable, words fail. This is what our government supports in Gaza. Thousands of children murdered, people being rounded up, stripped, and G-d knows what else. Ceasefire NOW, end this nightmare
One of the men arrested in this video is our colleague Al-Araby Correspondent Diaa Kahlot, along with his family, who are most definitely not members of Hamas. He and other captives were stripped naked in the street and taken to an unknown location. Journalism is not a crime!.

Senator Warren voted to send $14 billion in weapons funding to Israel last month.
The Israeli bombing of a refugee camp inside a designated safe zone is horrific. Israel has a duty to protect innocent civilians and Palestinians seeking shelter in Rafah have nowhere safe to go. Netanyahu’s assault of Rafah must stop. We need an immediate cease-fire.

We are deeply offended by President Biden’s statement last night, and call on him to apologize. Telling American Jews that our safety ultimately comes from Israel is antisemitic. Like all other Americans, like all other humans, we deserve to be safe & free in the place we live.

A Democratic senator is suggesting a direct action at Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer, is antisemitic. It is *not* antisemitic to protest a weapons manufacturer that profits off war & death. It *is* absurd for her to equate a weapons manufacturer to Jews.
What happened at Elbit in Merrimack yesterday was an act of vandalism – not free speech. At a time of rising antisemitism in America, this must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I’m grateful to law enforcement for keeping Elbit employees safe.
