South Jersey residents demanding our government STOP arming Israel, a permanent ceasefire, an end to Israeli apartheid & the genocide of the Palestinian people
For the last 86 Saturdays, South Jersey people have been saying stop using our tax $ to help Israel bomb and starve Palestine. But our sellout politicians like @DonaldNorcross@CoryBooker and @realDonaldTrump care more about Netanyahu and his fascists than the people of NJ.
Today I testified at a hearing in Trenton, New Jersey to the State Assembly and local government committee to oppose the adoption of Bill A3558 in New Jersey. The bill would accept the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism, which conflates criticism of the state of Israel and Zionism with antisemitism. The IHRA definition has been recognized by 35 states in the U.S., and New Jersey may soon become the 36th.

We learned today of some disturbing social media posts made by Justin Goldsman, a public figure who holds several key positions across communities including serving as the chief of staff for a New Jersey state legislator.
In a post made publicly on what appears to be his Facebook account, Goldsman wrote “we are humans not Muslims” with a heart emoji.
In September 2024, Goldsman made another anti-Muslim post on his X account perpetuating an Islamophobic trope. He writes: “Can’t sleep with 72 fake imaginary virgins with a blown off terrorist d–k can you?”
“But to the disappointment of people in the Muslim and larger community, there was no public presentation of the Cherry Hill proclamation. It was dropped off at township resident’s home instead. “

At tonight’s @CherryHillTwp town council meeting, a large turnout from the Muslim community, council president says it was the largest turnout from the Muslim community ever, yet the mayor and council president leave without taking any photos with the Muslim community 🧵
We had @NaomiAKlein on Bad Hasbara @mostmoralpod talking about how framing antisemitism as the worst bigotry allows Israel to justify its atrocities.

The killings in Gaza have not abated and in fact are worse than ever -- and they have the overwhelming approval of the American elite, including many who call themselves liberals.
Last night, the Israeli military dropped massive, 2-ton US-made bombs on Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in North Gaza, setting on fire over 30 tents with injured civilians inside. Real-time footage showed hospital patients, IVs still in their arms, being burned alive in their beds during the Israeli military’s attack, which killed at least four and wounded over 70. 🧵
HAPPENING NOW: OVER 500 JEWS AND ALLIES SHUT DOWN THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE FOR GAZA. “GAZA BOMBED, WALL STREET BOOMS. FUND HEALTHCARE, HOUSING, FEMA, NOT GENOCIDE.” @jvplive@jvpliveNY
Happening now:
“Gaza burns, Wall Street booms! Arms embargo now!”
An estimated 500 members of @jvpliveNY have rushed the New York Stock Exchange, chaining themselves to entrances and an exterior fence. Security tried, and failed, to impede the masses.
