    BREAKING: Lawsuit against DePaul University This morning, we filed a lawsuit against @DePaulU on behalf of Max Long and Michael Kaminsky, two Jewish students who were violently attacked last November on campus in an antisemitic hate crime. This attack was foreseeable. And it

    Hamas terrorists burn Jewish babies to death in ovens, but the @UN blacklists @Israel for harming children? Even for the UN, this is psychotic. Whatever legitimacy this institution once had, it’s gone now. It’s time to defund the UN and unwind it. #EndJewHatred #DefundTheUN

    UPDATE on the antisemitic incident at Staples in LA: Despite widespread media and social media coverage, @StaplesStores has not reached out to Elisheva or her legal team at @LawfareProject. There has been no statement even remotely acknowledging responsibility, let alone any

    Highly concerning that the victim of this attack was arrested and charged in a shooting that, at least on this video, appears to be a justified shooting in self-defense. Scott Hayes is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, as well as violation of a

    🚨 NYC 34th St and 8th Ave this afternoon. Violent attack motivated by antisemitism - a hate crime. Hearing reports that @NYPDnews police officers were present but did not pursue or arrest the attacker. Does this have to do with @ManhattanDA refusing to prosecute bias crimes

    Great start, but look forward to Part II, where you address celebrity Jew-hatred (@bellahadid @rogerwaters), the Squad (@RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN), Islamic fanaticism, discriminatory #BDS, erasure of identity from #ethnicstudies. The fight to #endjewhatred must be inclusive of all!

    Antisemitism continues to rise around the world - due in large part to social media. For my special Rising Hate: Antisemitism in America, I spoke with experts who detailed just how rapidly the hate is spreading & how disturbing the content can become. Tune in tomorrow at 9pm.

    🚨🚨 Contrary to what is being reported, @Columbia HAS NOT implemented the @usedgov requirements for combatting campus antisemitism in order to negotiate the restoration of federal funding. Columbia’s announcement falls far short of meeting the government’s requirements. Read in

    At @StaplesStores on Wilshire Blvd in LA - the scene of the crime. Staples denied service to a Black Orthodox Jewish woman who wanted to print postcards celebrating her identity. That’s illegal. The moral rot in our country has spread from the classroom to the workforce, and

    In #Russia, thousands are taking to the streets to protest @KremlinRussia_E illegal war in #Ukraine and the deaths of thousands of Ukrainians and Russians — for nothing more than Putin’s ego. Show the same courage as this woman and say no to war. #OustPutin #PutinFreeBy23

    Let’s be clear. It’s not a “conflict.”It’s an offensive WAR that is ILLEGAL under international law. @UN is doing nothing to #StopRussia and is cozying up to dictators. UN has lost all legitimacy and must be scrapped. #OustPutin #StopPutin #EndJewHatred #StandWithUkraine️

    This is why #Russia cannot prevail against #Ukraine - the bravery of ordinary civilians rejecting occupation and domination in Putin’s illegal war. The Russian people must rise up and #OustPutin. We must all support them! #PutinFreeby23

    Last week, @TheJusticeDept secured conviction of a pro-Palestinian activist who conspired to attack Jews multiple time in NYC. Today, @POTUS supports calling out and deplatforming Jew-hatred. We look forward to more action from the government to #EndJewHatred from all sources.

    I just want to make a few things clear: The Holocaust happened. Hitler was a demonic figure. And instead of giving it a platform, our political leaders should be calling out and rejecting antisemitism wherever it hides. Silence is complicity.
