We need to reckon with the fact that while Zionism is not *inherently* part of Judaism in any way, organizations like Hillel International have worked hard to ensure that Jewish students believe that it is and see the linkage as inextricable, thus "justifying" this repression.

L’ Shana Tovah. It is essential to come together in these moments and build vibrant liberation-aligned communities on campuses that are not part of the monopolies of Zionism on campuses. Here are some tips and resources for Rosh Hashanah on campuses. Reach out additional support

Hillel has codified the repression of dissent. JOOOT's previous organizational identity was Open Hillel. We tried to organize individual Hillel chapters to drop Hillel International's Standards of Partnership (shown in @NationalSJP 's post). 🧵

We are in full support of these Sukkahs and actions. They are an incredibly important vehicle for practicing and building liberation-aligned Judaism, and standing against genocide and imperialism. ❤️‍🔥

Replying to @JudaismOOOT
"The protest called out organizations such as Hillel International and ADL, which play an active role in the brutal colonization of Palestine, the predatory indoctrination of Jewish youths into Zionism, and the extreme distortion of Jewish values": Tinyurl.com/J4DHILLEL

“...We already have begun building alternative spaces for the Jewish community on our campuses....we will not stop raising our voices until Zionist barbarity ends, until our institutions have divested from...settler colonial and imperialist violence, and until Palestine is free.”

Please take a look at this important thread written by NYC Jewish students in opposition to the “Hillel at Base” program, showcasing Hillel’s ongoing commitment to donors over Palestinian lives, a safe campus environment, and Jewish programming.

NYC Jewish students oppose the Hillel on Base trip taken by several CUNY colleges, Pace University, School of Visual Arts, Fordham University, SUNY Fashion Institute of Technology, and The New School students as a part of the Hillel at Baruch chapter of Hillel International.

Go give @drophillel a follow! The movement to end the surveillance, repression, and homogenization of Jewish identity that Hillel enforces is growing. We’re gonna make Hillel obsolete by building new Jewish community that is vibrant and liberation-aligned! #DropHillel🧄

We stand in solidarity with the demands + actions of students at the Solidarity Encampments across Turtle Island. Universities: listen to students and understand what true safety looks like! We call for others in our community to follow the lead of this principled space-making.

New Jewish life on campus is exposing the obvious….it was never about combatting antisemitism . “Safety” was a guise for criminalizing Palestine solidarity protesters. Safety is not transactional: you can never exchange the safety of one group for the un-safety of another.

Images from the Brown University Gaza Solidarity Sukkah — which the school will now reportedly punish 17 students for. “It is evident that Brown is willing to repress Jewish practice in order to suppress any form of Palestinian solidarity,” students say.

So @HillelIntl, now that @PeterBeinart supports a single state in Israel-Palestine, is he still gonna be allowed to speak at Hillel events? If yes, does that mean Palestinians who have long advocated the same policy can speak at Hillel too now?

Liberal Zionists have been saying the two-state solution is in mortal danger for years now. Today in @JewishCurrents, @PeterBeinart declares it dead, and envisions some just and decent alternatives. Send this to your friends and relatives on the fence. jewishcurrents.org/yavne-a-jewish…
