- This you?1/ Efforts to "Drop Hillel" are disgraceful. This campaign is a blatant attempt to upend Jewish life on campus and isolate, demonize & delegitimize Jewish students and orgs with any connection to Israel. The organizers have literally said so themselves. 🧵jpost.com/diaspora/artic…
- 🚨#DropHillel: POINTS OF UNITY🚨 Our Points of Unity make clear that we understand Hillel to be a Zionist organization concerned first and foremost with bolstering support for the State of Israel.
- The Alternative to Hillel: strengthening new Jewish spaces rooted in collective liberation, and developing a connection to Judaism on their own terms. 🧄 THREAD:
- 🚨#DropHillel: GOALS🚨 We aim to expose Hillel as an explicit Zionist institution part of the harm caused by Israel, build new independent and liberation aligned Jewish campus life, and delegitimize Hillel as the legitimate arbiter of antisemitism on campuses. (THREAD 🧵)
- Replying to @drophillelDrop Hillel is not a new organization, but an effort to create a resource library & educational campaign that anyone can participate in, access or draw from. This is made up of Jewish organizers, academics, alumni and students.
- Replying to @drophillelWe reiterate the need to platform Palestinian-led organizations, and to work alongside them, as anti-Zionist Jewish organizations and as a movement.
- Replying to @drophillelWe highlight the necessity of deplatforming Hillel on college campuses; we underscore the importance of (Jewish and non-Jewish) students and student-led organizations cutting ties with Hillel as we make Hillel’s support for genocide an untenable red line.
- Replying to @drophillelMany decades of research, analysis, and Palestinian experience and testimony make it clear that Zionism is a project invested in white supremacy and settler colonialism.
- Replying to @drophillelWe understand Hillel, as a Zionist institution, to have a recorded history of material support of the surveillance and harassment of Palestinian students and their allies.
- Replying to @drophillelWe understand Hillel’s Standards of Partnership—part of their guiding charter—to solidify and enforce these racist and settler colonial practices.
- Replying to @drophillel🧄 Expose Hillel International as an explicitly Zionist institution which is complicit in and actively supportive of all the harm caused by Israel 🧄
- Replying to @drophillelWe also know that Hillel also has a history of: - Financial investment in racist practices, partnerships and endeavors, including initiatives directly connected to pro-Israel programming and Israel trips. - Rules and regulations barring Palestinians from events and gatherings.
