Denying Palestinians their visas is wrong, and blaming Jews for your own racism is gross.

The Trump definition of antisemitism essentially blames Jews for the erosion of civil liberties. It is wrong for New Jersey
This proposed N.J. law could label Israeli human rights groups antisemitic | Opinion
Jewish organizations have been calling out the dangerous threat N.J.'s IRHA bill poses on free speech and Jewish safety overall.

The IHRA is a deceptive attempt to stifle free speech in the name of Jewish safety, ultimately blaming Jews for the erosion of a free and open democracy. It is dangerous, and actually makes our community much less safe. Contact your state reps NOW and tell them to vote no!
Jews in New Jersey are speaking out against the antisemitism-generator IHRA — pushed by apartheid activists in the NJ Assembly this week to change the very meaning of antisemitism in order to criminalize opposition to genocide:

"Bend the Arc: Jewish Action refuses to allow the Trump administration to bogusly claim that his authoritarian policies on travel and immigration have anything to do with keeping Jews safe."

"Jewish safety means safety for Jews we agree with and those we disagree with. It means safety for Palestinians. It means we see the safe return of all hostages. It means safety for our neighbors. It means safety for all people."

Spoiler alert: turns out the administration filled with people who like to seig heil on national television is not serious about combating antisemitism
If the White House were serious about fighting antisemitism, they could start by not hiring people with ties to extremists.

If you are stopped by Trump's ICE goons, or any other kind of cops:

I INVOKE MY RIGHTS TO SILENCE AND COUNSEL AND WILL NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS WITHOUT MY ATTORNEY PRESENT.

Memorize it.

And don't let ICE in without a JUDICIAL warrant. No, administrative warrants don't count.

Oh, so Universities CAN stand up for their students. @columbiauniversity.bsky.social, please take notes
Tufts University petitions a federal judge to release student Rümeysa Öztürk, who was grabbed off the street by immigration officials.

The move is some of the strongest public pushback by a school against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.
