Op-Ed by @JIMENA_Voice Program Director Sapir Taib and Program Coordinator (yours truly!) in @JNS_org about the misrepresentation and tokenization of Mizrahi/Sephardic in anti-Zionist spaces. ⬇️

Imagine having the fucking audacity after a 10-hour standoff in a synagogue on shabbos with three Jewish hostages to say ON TELEVISION that this wasn’t because of anti-Jewish hatred. Because that’s exactly what’s happening on the news right now.
When Zahra Billoo said that “Zionist synagogues are your enemies,” she was inciting violence against Jews.
Just ask the man who came to a Chanukah party and stabbed 5 Jews, killing one in Monsey, NY. He googled “Zionist Temples” before his attack.
They were his enemies, too.
@Judson4Congress Yet when Jewish people politely ask you to stop comparing the Holocaust to events that are nothing like the Holocaust, you double down and block them.
AOC claims she broke out into tears during the Iron Dome vote yesterday because her "safety" was "at risk"? What the hell does that even mean? A person who's this emotionally volatile should really consider a different line of work
Embedded in the story is the assumption that support for Iron Dome, which defends civilians from relentless rocket fire, can only be explained by power (“influential lobbyists and rabbis”) rather than principle. The causal Antisemitism never ceases to shock me.
