I’ve been trying to articulate to myself why I find the discourse around Mamdani so upsetting and I think beyond the fact that it is/encourages racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, it also makes a mockery of what I consider to be real issues, namely antisemitism and Jewish safety.

are you still in israel? sending love to you and t (and miss you sm 😭😭)

If Oct. 7 had never happened, Trump would right now be pulling funding from Columbia and Harvard because of DEI policies or admissions requirements or what research they were doing or all of the above. The right hates universities and that’s it.

No one told me how much of grad school would involve days like today: brain MRI, FL-41 glasses, and desperately hoping something helps my migraines.

Also who even has time to travel to the other side of the country right before Passover? Doesn’t she have prep to do???

I would personally not be involved with this ever, but I would especially not do it right before my big holiday about celebrating freedom from oppression etc. Just another way Chaya and I see our Judaism differently I guess.

“Betar Worldwide @Betar_USA “We confirm that from Israel we have submitted a list of names of Diaspora Jews who we recommend be banned from Israel to numerous israeli government leaders. Any nation must keep enemies away from their country particularly during a time of war. We confirm that among those who are members and supporters of Betar whom we consider friends are May Golan, Gideon Saar, Amichai Chikli, Amir Ohana, Sharren Haskel and many people in various goverment offices including the prime ministers office, shin bet and other intelligence agencies in the state of Israel. We confirm world betar headquarters is in bet Jabotinsky where likud headquarters are in Tel Aviv, where Betar USA, Betar Europe and Betar UK also maintain offices. We intend to build lists of Diaspora Galut Jews who pose a danger to the Jewish state. People like Peter Beinart and leaders of Jewish Voices for Peace are radical extremists who serve the Jewish state no good and have no place visiting israel. Those on our initial lists include leaders of Code Pink, JVP and the New Israel Fund. As Jabotinsky taught us to tell our enemies, “go to hell. We have nothing to apologize for. Today Betar has 35 chapters worldwide and is the fastest growing Zionist movement worldwide.”

“We have started identifying names of Diaspora Jews we will recommend be banned from the State of Israel. We are living in very dangerous times worldwide and Betar International is building lists of Jews unwelcome. We are glad kapo Norman Finkelstein has been banned. Betar confirms we have added names to our ban list! Americans, Canadians, Latin American, French and British Jews have been added.”

“Who are some Diaspora Kapos who need to be banned from Israel? JVP leaders, and those who are anti Zionist have no place receiving a visa to the Jewish state.”

Betar USA is the far-right organization giving the Trump administration names of pro-Palestine students to deport. Today they confirmed they are going after the “wrong sort of Jews” as well. It was always inevitable that this “anti-antisemitism” campaign would be turned against Jews on the left.

i’ve only heard of it from chris’s evangelism

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Roll Crimson, baby!!!

This is a grave and sobering admission: they are not pursuing the “WELL ACTUALLY he broke the law during protests,” they are bragging that they are deporting people for protected speech.

yeah really disappointing to see people being like “it’s hard to see people being arrested randomly, but antisemitic terrorist collaborators should face consequences”

babe that’s not what’s going on, he wasn’t collaborating materially with hamas??

"🚨EXCLUSIVE🚨 The wife of US Federal Judge Jesse Furman who just opposed President Trump’s deportation order of Palestinian foreign national Mahmoud Khalil is named Ariela Dubler. Both of them are Leftist Jews, and she was appointed to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom by Chuck Schumer in 2024. Ariela Dubler is the head of a Jewish school called The Abraham Joshua Heschel School located in New York City where she is paid over $650,000 per year, according to the schools’ form 990. There is a major conflict of interest that exists in her husband overseeing this opposition of the Trump admin. On December 23, 2024, less than one month before Joe Biden left office, Democrat Senate minority leader @SenSchumer Chuck Schumer appointed the Judges’s wife to the US Commission on International Religious Freedom. This is a major conflict of interest, given the fact that Senate Democrats have used their official social media accounts today to stand in solidarity with pro- HAMAS Mahmoud Khalil and to attack the Trump admin’s efforts to bolster our national security, and protect American students on college campuses by deporting jihadist foreign nationals. See receipts below. 👇🏻 Along with Jihadists, Leftist Jews are some of our biggest enemies in America. They are so self loathing. Cc: @LoomerUnleashed @CcpSkipTracer"

"very single Jewish American must condemn the Marxist Jews in power who are trying to destroy our country. Their actions create anti Semitism for the rest of the Jews who aren’t like these Marxist Jews. We are all individuals."

Right-wing Jew Laura Loomer is attacking the wife of the judge who blocked the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil, herself the head of the Heschel School in NYC. This is blatant antisemitism, but Loomer is justifying it as only against "Marxist Jews" who "create antisemitism for the rest of the Jews."

Jewish groups targeted Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil — then ICE arrested him Pro-Israel Jewish groups targeted Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University, days before ICE agents arrested him.

How did Mahmoud Khalil become the first student targeted for deportation by the Trump administration?

He showed up at a protest last week without a mask.

"The guy was making it too easy for us," a pro-Israel activist who has been compiling a protester database told me.

This makes me feel more unsafe than anything that has happened at Harvard since 10/7. Wondering if ICE is going to begin taking my peers is a much greater disruption to campus life for me than protests!

Since it apparently needs to be said: As a Jew who works on a university campus, I am safest in a country that protects academic freedom and liberal values of due process of law. Anyone who supports extrajudicial detention of students for "wrong" ideological opinions is not doing it for my safety.

As far as I can tell, Khalil has still not been charged & his attorney/family still don’t know where he is.

Any Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves. Our community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy & the rule of law.

What law is the ADL alleging Mahmoud broke? Is it against the law to criticize Israel? To speak to the press? To be Palestinian?

What better way to combat antisemitism than by stripping funds from a university with the highest percentages of Jewish undergraduates of any school in the Ivy League?

the problem with the "trans sports participation is a loser / 80-20 issue" framing is that it ignores how it got that way. it didn't just happen out of nowhere. It's been a 5+ year campaign by Republicans to make it an 80-20 issue, and noone fought back.

“not organized at all” is crazy

please make more and then sell them to me or something, i yearn for the stewie one and any DT ones. and unrivaled ones. and also basically any other WNBA related ones.

lmaoooo

tbh you can just say: i saw a lot of disdain about [insert any player who is not CC] from fever fans, and it’s not warranted

they hated AB and KM too!

omg 😭

"As a man you should cast your family aside" and "As a man, you are bad for having a beer with your friends" does not really fit into the same broken cultural messaging! What are they casting their family aside for if not to have beers with the bros?
