We’re launching a mobilization effort to push Biden not to accept the IHRA definition of antisemitism with its examples. This definition obscures the lines between antisemitism and criticism of Israel, and hurts Jews on college campuses.

While the situation regarding our current senate president is evolving, we felt it necessary to share some thoughts on behalf of our leadership at this current moment (official statement to follow).

living under occupation. Opinions evolve, people grow and we hope to hear more from the senate president on where he stands now. Our belief in people’s ability to change and seek dialogue and peace is part of our core values.

J St U at FSU condemns the actions of current FSU Student Senate President, Jack Denton. We join our fellow anti-racist student orgs on campus in calling for his immediate resignation & to donate the money he was paid in his position to a Black-and-queer-affirming organization.
Both Gantz and Netanyahu support West Bank annexation, which:
-violates international law
-would trample Palestinian rights
-would endanger a future Palestinian state and two state solution.
Communal leaders and US politicians must be firm in their condemnation of annexation.
Trump has given the green light to annexation but that doesn't mean we have to. Join us in our letter to senators urging them to #StopAnnexation

We applaud these Rabbinical students for taking a risk to stand up for what is right. Younger Jews oppose annexation and occupation and know that our community must stand behind its values. https://t.co/3jgklZz5ik
so, so excited to see the @CollegeDemsFL endorsement to #ChangeThePlatform — young progressives in FL are leading the call for a DNC platform that names and condemns the Occupation, settlement expansion, and annexation
We’re glad to have @CollegeDemsFL as partners in our effort to change the Democratic Platform to oppose occupation, annexation, and settlements! #ChangeThePlatform
Today the House will vote on HR 326, which 1) opposes Israeli annexation of Palestinian land and 2) states that US proposals for peace should endorse a 2SS and be consistent with past US Israel policy. The House must pass this and take a public stand against impending annexation.
So great to see the @nytimes's write up of #JSt2019 talking about the shifting political environment around Israel and the occupation. It's great to see candidates like @PeteButtigieg and @SenSanders make clear that the US cannot bankroll annexation.

We're excited to announce our campaign for the Democratic party to update its platform to reflect the progressive consensus on Israel-Palestine. We're asking the party to explicitly oppose ongoing occupation, creeping annexation, and settlement expansion. https://t.co/kkptbJywFU
"Responsible lawmakers and presidential candidates must make clear that they will not give the Israeli government a blank check to violate US interests and democratic values." https://t.co/mjgV1WEp2S
