00:00 - So what, we’re all self-hating Jews? Thousands of Jewish people across the country who have shut down bridges, transit stations, the Statue of Liberty? This is a deeply, deeply antisemitic resolution.A new House resolution, which may be voted on as early as tonight, "clearly and firmly states that anti-Zionism is antisemitism."

- This is one of the most dishonest statements we’ve heard, lying about a protest we helped organize to label it antisemitic. This protest was led by JEWS. Jewish people were the majority of participants, criticizing JCRC’s long documented racism & Zionist. Do better Scott.Yesterday, protesters targeted a major Jewish community event in SF — the 75th anniversary of Jewish Community Relations Council. Many local Jewish orgs, local Jewish leaders & synagogues were part of the event So here we are: Targeting a major Jewish event & thinking it’s ok🧵
- NOW The Palestinian flag is being flown at the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco as hundreds march across We demand an immediate and PERMANENT ceasefire, and we will not let up until our representatives take meaningful action to ensure it #CeasefireNOW
- UCSF, *this* is antisemitic. Falsely equating attacks on Zionism w/attacks on Jews flattens our identity & makes our safety contingent on Israel. It fails to treat us as deserving respect in our own right. Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism & never will be. Retract this now.

00:00 - Nancy, we’re not Russian agents, we’re not doing Putin’s bidding, we’re not working on behalf of any foreign state or power We’re just Jews who don’t want to see another genocide in our lifetimesNancy Pelosi: Protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza "is Mr. Putin's message... Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see... "I think some of these protesters are spontaneous and organic and sincere. Some I think are connected to Russia."
00:00 - Biden throwing a party in San Francisco while hundreds of families just outside the venue reminded him that more than 4,500 children have been killed—with his full support & financing. But we hope Gwen Stefani was worth it.President Biden threw quite the party tonight at Exploratorium. A mix of Democratic Party leaders, local officials & tech CEOs. Gwen Stefani performed several songs—Hollaback Girl & Don’t Speak made the cut—before a BIG fireworks show. Warriors coach Steve Kerr introduced POTUS
