There are over a thousand American Jews in Brooklyn tonight saying we refuse to let our grief be weaponized to justify a genocide in Gaza.

- FUCKING DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT STOP SENDING THEM WEAPONSThe UN reports that no food has entered northern Gaza in nearly 2 weeks. Israel must urgently do more to facilitate the flow of aid to those in need. Civilians must be protected and must have access to food, water, and medicine. International humanitarian law must be respected.
- Tonight at Columbia Jewish students led a full Shabbat service at the Gaza solidarity encampment. Minutes later Muslim students had their evening prayer service. All surrounded by love. Please do let the world know: there are ways to live that aren’t being a paranoid bigot.
- It’s always been fuck you Netanyahu & Fuck your apartheid Fuck your genocide Fuck how you abandon your own citizens Fuck how you abuse Jewish history to justify your crimes And fuck everyone who welcomed this corrupt war criminal who belongs in The Hague, not in Congress.
- Spent the first night of Passover at the student seder in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia. The Jewish flank of the Palestine solidarity movement is growing and it is so beautiful to behold. Judge for yourself how unsafe these Jewish students look.
- “The Nakba never happened but also we’ll do it again”Israelis have put up billboards that say “You have no future in Palestine” - all across the West Bank. They include images of Palestinians being ethnically cleansed in Gaza.
- Never forget that when the American Gestapo arrived to university campuses to disappear student activists the ADL was in the front row cheering them on. All in the name of “fighting antisemitism.” These Nazi collaborators are a disgrace to Jewish history and a danger to us all.We firmly believe there should be swift and severe consequences for those who provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass and intimidate Jewish individuals and
- In the heart of Tel Aviv, israelis are shutting down traffic, chanting that we don’t want another war. this is not a solution. no one is more safe because of this. end the occupation. end the siege. Jews and Arabs refuse to be enemies. In solidarity with Gaza.
- In a room full of evil, greed and cowardice, @RashidaTlaib’s dignity, principle and courage shines so powerfully. We love you and stand behind you.
- It’s incredibly frustrating and unhelpful that @nytimes and others keep repeating the dangerous lie that the only legitimate expression of Jewish politics is being hardline pro-Israel 🧵
- Hard to capture how deeply horrifying this video is. Thousands of Israeli Jews singing about revenge, chanting "Yimach shemam (may their names be erased)," dancing as a fire burns on the Temple Mount. This is genocidal animus towards Palestinians — emboldened and unfiltered.
- Was extremely proud to participate in this fierce and soulful action.BREAKING: 400 American Jews mark Netanyahu's arrival by refusing to leave Congress until our government listens to the will of the people and STOPS ARMING ISRAEL!
- I genuinely don’t know how anyone who is seriously committed to the safety and well-being of Jews can see a single decision made by people in power this week as doing anything but deeply endangering Jewish people at Columbia and beyond🧵
- Can’t stop thinking about the crater in the earth of Gaza and the Palestinian families turned to dust yesterday, made possible by the giant bombs sent to Israel by the “most lethal fighting force in the world.”
