Jewish UChicago students working to transform our community's support for the occupation into a call for freedom and dignity for all Israelis and Palestinians.
WATCH: Fmr Senator Rick Santorum just heard from Daniel, an American Jew who has seen antisemitic violence increase since Trump's election, as a result of antisemitic rhetoric spread by Trump and the GOP. Santorum's refusal to hold his party accountable was an act of cowardice.
BREAKING: @BernieSanders commits to #SkipAIPAC.
We need to keep the momentum up. There is one week until @AIPAC’s conference and most Democratic candidates have not committed to attend or skip. Sign our petition demanding they join Bernie and #SkipAIPAC > https://t.co/ptXyCI3nD4
@HardballChris said Bernie's victory is like the Nazis occupying France. @chucktodd made a similar comparison of Bernie supporters to Nazis. This is disgusting.
Chris Matthews just compared Bernie's victory in Nevada to the Nazis taking control of France.
Incredibly offensive thing to say about someone from a family of holocaust survivors.
AIPAC released their speaker list, and it's as bad as we thought. Donald Trump. Kevin McCarthy. Islamaphobes, homophobes, white nationalists, antisemites, and bigots of every stripe have been invited to AIPAC. It is time for us to demand that all progressives #SkipAIPAC.
New video: Why should all progressives #SkipAIPAC?
Hear it from these American Jews who attended @AIPAC’s conference in the past and all eventually chose to #SkipAIPAC.
White nationalists: *calling for the destruction of the Jewish people, inciting anti-semitic violence*
AIPAC: Come to our conference!
Young progressive in Congress: *advocating for basic Palestinian rights*
AIPAC: Worse than ISIS 😡

NEW: The day after Trump unveiled his plan green-lighting Israeli annexation and Netanyahu’s announcement of a cabinet vote on annexation this Tuesday, @PeteButtigieg backtracked on his repeated promise that the "U.S. will not foot the bill for annexation." #StopFundingOccupation
It cannot be said enough: No Palestinians were invited to Trump's unveiling of his plan.
Any Jewish leader or organization that fails to outright condemn it is telling us that they don't care about Palestinian humanity and agency, or a lasting peace with the Palestinian people.
We’re so glad to have this opportunity for inter-generational dialogue in Chicago tonight.
Check out the ⬇️thread below⬇️ for some LIVE highlights and updates from tonight’s teach-in
Recently, @INNUChicago member Daniel Harris asked @AndrewYang a crucial question: How many human rights violations will it take before we #StopFundingOccupation?
We're glad Yang recognized how the US encourages Israel's abuses, but disappointed that he avoided Daniel's question.
5 more years of Boris in the UK, the hateful violence against American Jews, and the prospect of anti-semitism as an excuse to shut down free speech on college campuses is reason for all of us to be concerned and hurt. Take the holidays to heal and reflect. Shabbat shalom.
Trump's move to define Judaism as a nationality and call all criticism of Israel anti-semitic shuts down free speech and threatens Palestinian and Muslim activists. It also presents a major risk to Jewish Americans. We are American. And we do not support Israel unequivocally.
BREAKING: 45 #JewsAgainstICE are risking arrest! We're shutting down the offices of @SenatorDurbin & @SenDuckworth for voting to give ICE $4.6 billion in funding last month.
Hey Dems, #NeverAgainIsNow! Stop funding concentration camps #ShutDownICE
