And we're back! In another McCarthyite hearing led by the far-right wing Christian nationalists in the House Committee on Education & the Workforce who pretend to care about Jewish safety in order to attack the Palestinian rights movement and take a hammer to democratic rights.

“I’m coming down right smack dab in the middle"

Repulsive stance from Biden's antisemitism envoy on the Trump administration's abduction of students. Not surprising though from someone who smeared those same students as they protested to stop a genocide.

Student protesters being deported are not ‘martyrs and heroes,’ says former antisemitism envoy
Deborah Lipstadt said she agrees with some of the Trump administration's moves to deport students and crack down on campus antisemitism.

In his floor speech urging Senators to block weapons to Israel, Sanders discussed how Dems are too afraid of AIPAC, saying if a Dem votes against Israel "AIPAC will punish you with millions of dollars in advertisements and in other ways to see that you are defeated"

Here we are.

There are a few hundred people in the entire world who have the power to stop sending Israel the weapons it uses to slaughter Palestinians.

If you're one of those few hundred people and you want a ceasefire, then stop. sending. the. fire.

AIPAC is losing their shit over the upcoming Senate vote to block $8.8 billion in weapons to Israel.

Why? Because this vote has the potential to show that the overwhelming majority of Americans want to stop arming Israel's genocide.

Call the Senate now: jvpaction.org/blockthebombs

Every story of Israel's violence against Palestinians deserves the level of recognition and outrage that we saw over the attack on No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal. 1/

The Senate HELP Committee is kicking off a hearing that claims to be about combatting antisemitism — it is not.

This is Trump’s cronies using the guise of caring about Jews to further its agenda of deporting student activists and instilling fear to silence political dissent. 🧵

Today, the Senate will hold a nomination hearing for far-right, extremist, ultraconservative Mike Huckabee to become US ambassador to Israel.

I wrote in @thenation.com about how Huckabee wants bloodshed across historic Palestine to usher in the End Times.

Democrats: Tell Mike Huckabee to Go to Hell
Trump’s nominee for Israel ambassador believes that we need bloodshed in the Middle East to bring about the end times. Nobody could be a worse choice.

"Khalil’s abduction, in its cruelty and unlawfulness, has horrified people around the country. Let us be clear: This is what fascism looks like, and it is part of a much broader campaign."

If you do not act to protest Columbia admin collaborating with ICE & Trump to illegally detain Mahmoud Khalil, you are consenting to your campus being next. You are giving a green light to your admin to hand over your students and colleagues. Enough is enough. ACT NOW.

Plainclothes government agents took a student from his home because of his political speech, in front of his 8 month pregnant wife. Now he is being held in an unknown location and his lawyers cannot reach him.

Once again, the ADL shows that it chooses the side of fascism.
Well, there it is folks. The official ADL position is support for Trump secret police to illegally detain and deport green card holders if they are part of pro-Palestine protests. If and when DHS starts doing this to citizens, count on the ADL to continue its support. This is who they are.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is.
They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there.
They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

The Senate Judiciary Committee just gaveled in for a hearing they claim is about antisemitism. It is not.

The GOP does not care about Jewish safety. This is political theater intending to dismantle the Palestinian rights movement, universities, and civil liberties.

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references.

It's brutal.

And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

This week, the Trump administration:
–Hosted Netanyahu, who faces an arrest warrant
–Endorsed taking Gaza
–Sanctioned International Criminal Court for pursuing Israeli leaders
–Approved $7.41 billion arms deal to Israel, as it violates ceasefire
–Admitted "a civilization has been wiped out in Gaza"

Israel is ramping up its violent expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank, forcing 40,000 people from their homes in weeks.

This is not just an escalation—it’s part of Israel’s decades-long effort to push Palestinians off their land.
