“I work with college students daily, and I’ve fought against the terrifying rise of antisemitism on college campuses. I’ve also watched the repeated attempts to intimidate students by falsely accusing them of antisemitism. This EO is nothing more than an attempt to silence student activism in support of Palestinian rights.”

We call on members of Congress to immediately condemn this Executive Order and commit to overturning this unconstitutional act.”
Read More“The Trump administration was never focused on promoting peace, but instead on propping up Netanyahu’s and Trump’s careers and perpetuating Israeli control over Palestinians. Pompeo and the Trump administration don’t get to rewrite international law.”
Read More“If the threats of annexation by Israeli leaders could spark bold commitments to condition U.S. funding to Israel, certainly extrajudicial killings and flagrant attacks on civilians ought to as well.”
Read MoreThe expulsion of Omar Shakir and the impending deportation of Omar Barghouti are the latest examples of Israel’s long history of silencing, deporting or denying entry to human rights defenders.

Our elected officials must stand up to Trump’s empowerment of racism and authoritarianism in Israel – because it’s never been clearer that the greatest obstacle to peace in the Middle East is Israel.”
Read More“Trump’s accusations of “dual-loyalty” — a centuries-old antisemitic charge against Jews beginning in Christian Europe– with regard to the American Jewish community and the Democratic party are appalling. He has grossly miscalculated if he thinks he can terrorize the American Jewish voter base into supporting him.”

And it’s enraging that the Israeli government would hold a Member of Congress’s family hostage unless she agrees to censor herself. For as long as it’s existed, the Israeli government has forced these kinds of heart wrenching and impossible choices on Palestinians. It’s time for all of us to insist our elected officials hold Israel accountable.”

This turn-about deserves at minimum a sharp reminder that it is WORSE to do the right thing and then walk it back out of fear. There’s no neutrality in situations of injustice.”
