Title VI Complaints vs. The New School The New School illegally discriminates against Jewish antizionists, driven by its effort to quash resistance to Israeli genocide & its anti-Palestinian racism.

The @critzstudies.bsky.social & the ADC filed Title VI complaints charging @thenewschool.bsky.social of discrimination, bc they imposed their own definition of Jewish identity on Jewish students, faculty, & staff to compel pro-Israel ideology and excluded others from resources.

Israel's genocide against Palestinians is enabled by near-blackout on discussion of Israeli colonialism, history, & decades of Palestinian political resistance. Broken-hearted, incensed, and with renewed determination, we resist that erasure of knowledge. criticalzionismstudies.org/on-palestini...

Why we created the Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism The Institute for the Critical Study of Zionism seeks to create an intellectual and political community that is grounded in solidarity with those most harmed by Zionism and in uplifting their voices.

In this first @Mondoweiss op-ed about ICSZ, Rabab Abdulhad & Heike Schotten explain what we mean by "approaching Zionism as a broad set of colonial and repressive work and solidarities." t.co/ftgucrpl8k
