Creating independent student-run Jewish communities, in solidarity with liberation and action, with welcoming norms and traditions. RTs ≠ endorsements.
Welcome back to campus for all students! Here’s a reminder that Jewish campus life does not have to be monopolized and weaponized by Zionism!
Reach out if you’d like support or resources for building independent, liberation-aligned Jewish communities from us and similar groups!
For more on the function of Zionist institutions in bringing about this moment and the role of anti-Zionist and liberation aligned Jewish communities on campus and beyond:

Joint statement with @drophillel
Jewish students demand the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil, whose abduction by ICE was incited by Zionists institutions pushing to merge Judaism & Zionism, while violently punishing dissent.
Shut it down today!
We are joining @nationalsjp in this call to action:
🚨12pm, Tues 3/11🚨
We call on the widest swath of organizations, formations, and individuals to walk out of class, take over central spaces on campus, and assert our mass power.

Shut it down today!
We call on all Jewish students to heed the call of the student movement and take revolutionary action to free Mahmoud Khalil from abduction and imprisonment!
The state is testing how far it can go. We won’t let them.
Zionist organizations like Hillel, the ADL, AEN, have worked with the state to make this possible, and we’re never interested in Jewish safety.
We must create new, liberation aligned Jewish institutions instead.

We are utterly disgusted that the weaponization of so-called Jewish “safety” has made possible the fascistic abduction of Mahmoud Khalil. As always, we stand with ALL our Palestinian comrades here in the U.S. and in Palestine. FREE MAHMOUD🇵🇸
🚨SEND THE LETTER L!NKED BELOW🚨 A Palestinian student activist at Columbia University, Mahmoud Khalil, has been abducted and detained by the Department of Homeland Security for over 12 hours after months of targeted harassment by the university. Demand his immediate release through the letter at https://t.co/Dron8tMIjA. @palyouthmvmt@wawog_now
Our universities must establish themselves as sanctuary spaces and take measures to protect students, faculty, and staff against the Trump Administration's crackdown on the Student Movement for Palestinian liberation on campus.
DEFEND THE POPULAR UNIVERSITY 🇵🇸🇵🇸
The popular movement against Zionism, imperialism, and fascism will not shy away in the face of federal threats; we will show our Boards of Trustees, administrators, and the state that we will not back down.
‼️CALL TO ACTION: At 12pm on Tuesday, March 11th, we call on the widest swath of organizations, formations, and individuals to walk out of class, take over central spaces on campus, and assert our mass power. In the face of the state’s existential attacks on the Student Movement and popular education, we declare that we, the united students, faculty, staff, and workers, are the university. @wawog_now@PalFeminist@uscpr_action
The Alternative to Hillel: strengthening new Jewish spaces rooted in collective liberation, and developing a connection to Judaism on their own terms. 🧄
THREAD:
Jewish students and our friends must be able to observe shabbat, celebrate holidays, form cultural communities, and engage with our Judaism on our own terms.
🚨#DropHillel: GOALS🚨
We aim to expose Hillel as an explicit Zionist institution part of the harm caused by Israel, build new independent and liberation aligned Jewish campus life, and delegitimize Hillel as the legitimate arbiter of antisemitism on campuses. (THREAD 🧵)
We’re continuing to build a resource library to create vibrant new Jewish life on campus!
Campus Jewish life should not be used as a tool for repression, and students should not have to choose between their values and cultural and spiritual community.

The semester is starting: we need to build the resources and connection to combat Hillel and Zionism’s attempted hold on campus Jewish life.
Help us create a RESOURCE LIBRARY!
CONNECT with other Jewish students to build on campus!

17 Brown University students will reportedly face conduct violations for sleeping in their Gaza Solidarity Sukkah.
“Every year on this campus Jewish students sleep in sukkahs without incident. We believe we are being treated differently because we…are standing with Palestine.”
New Jewish life on campus is exposing the obvious….it was never about combatting antisemitism .
“Safety” was a guise for criminalizing Palestine solidarity protesters.
Safety is not transactional: you can never exchange the safety of one group for the un-safety of another.
Images from the Brown University Gaza Solidarity Sukkah — which the school will now reportedly punish 17 students for.
“It is evident that Brown is willing to repress Jewish practice in order to suppress any form of Palestinian solidarity,” students say.
