Email from J Street today: The scenes on college campuses have been shocking – grotesque displays of antisemitism, appalling exchanges between protesters and counter-protesters, students and faculty thrown to the ground by police in inexcusable displays of brutality.
As protests spread across the nation, members of J Street U – the student organizing arm of J Street – have met the moment with empathetic, nuanced and compassionate leadership. Speaking out for the rights of Jewish students and non-violent protesters alike, returning focus to the core issues on the ground in Israel and Gaza, and pushing back against those seeking to exploit the moment for political gain.
At J Street, we firmly believe that all students – including Jewish students and protesters – have a right to safety, free speech and protection from violence, harassment, and intimidation.
This Tuesday at 12pm Eastern, join a special call to hear directly from J Street U student leaders across the country offering an unvarnished look into the dynamics on their campuses and how they’re meeting this incredibly challenging moment.

"While other states focus on algebra and reading comprehension, Florida’s top education officials are waging wars with teachers about what kind of pronouns they can use and defending policies that have led to books by Ernest Hemingway and Zora Neale Hurston being removed from library shelves. We are reaping what they sow."

TYT (The Young Turks) podcast commentary on Orlando N***s harassing Jews coming out of a Chabad parking lot. It was the N***s' National Weekend of Hate. (TYT, The Young Turks, does progressive commentary.) Also has good commentary on Gov. DeathSantis's total deflection of the issue when asked to respond; he talked about how "pro-Israel" his administration is. He had no comment on the N***s whatsoever, other than calling them "jackasses". They're MAGA jackasses, of course, and betcha that they and the Chabadniks ironically vote for the same creeps.
