As this MAGA hearing continues, attempting to smear and vilify students who are organizing to stop a genocide, the Israeli government is starving over 2 million Palestinian in Gaza.

Ilhan Omar talks about how the Trump regime’s actions like targeting of student activists who support Palestinian rights for deportation is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes.

Casar asks GOP Committee members if they condemn Trump saying there were "very fine people on both sides" of the racist & antisemitic march on Charlottesville, RFK's spread of antisemitic conspiracy theories, or Trump's pardoning of antisemitic insurrectionists. None raise hands.

Alma Adams pushed back against this sham of a hearing, sharing the stories of the Jewish Columbia students on the Hill yesterday about how they are facing discrimination because of their political beliefs. Nothing Trump and his allies are doing is actually about Jewish safety.

It's hard to take Mary Miller's pretense of caring about Jewish safety seriously when she quoted Hitler while giving a speech outside of the US Capitol the day before the January 6 insurrection...

Elise Stefanik - who echos the antisemitic 'great replacement theory' and defended Elon Musk's Nazi salute - is on the mic pretending to care at all about Jews. One of her favorite ways to try to grow her career.

Jewish faculty decry Republican panel members ahead of antisemitism hearing Lawmakers on key committee have quoted Hitler and are associated with calls for Jews to convert to Christianity

Ahead of today, Jewish faculty from Haverford publicly rejected the hearings. Some noted that they are "political theater" aimed at "silencing pro-Palestinian voices on campus – including many Jewish voices."

Meet the Jewish students speaking to US lawmakers about Columbia’s protests Jewish students who support Palestinian rights tell Al Jazeera that accusations of anti-Semitism are being weaponised.

Yesterday, a group of incredible Jewish students from Columbia spoke with lawmakers, calling on them to fight back against these kind of right wing attempts to use false allegations of antisemitism to dismantle free speech and social justice movements. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/...

The fact that Chairman Walberg doesn't even know how to pronounce "Chabad" really shows you all need you need to know about how much the folks leading this hearing care about Jews.

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.

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.

“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.

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

🚨 TODAY: BRUTAL SETTLER ATTACK LEAVES 5 HOSPITALIZED IN JINBA, MASAFER YATTA, WEST BANK 🚨

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/

A Letter From Palestinian Activist Mahmoud Khalil | ACLU Khalil, who was unlawfully arrested in retaliation for his advocacy, details this violation of his free speech rights.

Instead of listening to a hateful grandstanding bigot like Josh Hawley attack and smear Mahmoud Khalil, read Mahmoud’s own beautiful words about why he organizes for Palestinian rights and how he hopes to be released in time for the birth of his child.

Sen Markey coming out swinging! Listing out the blatant antisemitism of Trump and his cronies over the years, and how Trump & co. Are simultaneously cynically using the fear of antisemitism to attack free speech. He calls out what is happening as what it is: authoritarianism.

Husted smearing student activists and calling for deportations. This is part of the coordinated campaign of fear-mongering and attack that motivates the detention of students like Mahmoud Khalil and Rumeysa Ozturk who were abducted by ICE, targeted for their political speech.

As Senators smear and attack anti-war student activists who are trying to end the Israeli government’s genocide of Palestinians, the Trump administration is using this narrative to abduct students from the street and their homes, targeting them for deportation. This is fascism.

Sanders is showing an image from a Trump event showing Soros as a puppeteer over government, and asking each witness to say if it is antisemitic. StandWithUs witness is only able to say “it raises questions” and that “context is key”.

Mkay.

Tell Congress: Protect students' rights and free speech. - JVP Email your members of Congress right now and tell them to vote no on the dangerous “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act”, which does nothing to keep Jews safe.

People are bringing up the Anti-semitism Awareness Act, a bill that would codify the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism in order to even further crack down on Palestinian rights activists and political dissent.

Tell your Senators to oppose it: www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/tel...

Sanders needing to correct Cassidy’s pronunciation of “Lubavitch” multiple times really speaks volumes about Cassidy and this hearing.

Carly Gammill of the anti-Palestinian group StandWithUs conflates Judaism with the political ideology of Zionism. This falsehood - intertwining a centuries old religion with a 77 year old ethnonationalist nation state - will be at the core of today’s attacks in the hearing.

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. 🧵

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.

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.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Abduction Is a Red Alert for Universities Schools across America have a choice: Defend their students against Trump or be complicit in his crimes.

"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."

Must read from Palestine Legal's Dima Khalidi

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.

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.
