Each year, on Yom HaShoah, sirens sound for two minutes and Israel comes to a standstill.
It is a haunting and powerful reminder of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust.

J Street UMD statement on resolution S-19-04-17. Whether you’re speaking later today or watching the livestream, join us and Rabbi Miriam Tuesday, April 30th to debrief.

[Israel Policy Forum @IsraelPolicy4m]

STATEMENT: "Israel Policy Forum is deeply alarmed by today’s comments by Senior Adviser to the President Jared Kushner publicly disavowing the two-state solution. While these remarks are not surprising [...] they are nonetheless profoundly disturbing." https://t.co/8dP21vE1nH

[Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart]

Maintaining one legal system for Jews + a separate one for their Palestinian neighbors is bigotry. A prime minister who entrenches such a system is a bigot. An organization that defends such bigotry during Passover--"the season of our freedom"--desecrates the holiday

[Batya Ungar-Sargon @bungarsargon]

Like every other Democratic candidate for 2020, @BernieSanders is a liberal Zionist. Like most American Jews, he's anti-occupation AND pro Israel. @netanyahu was a wakeup call for American Jews but he's a gift for Democrats, making it easy to be pro Israel AND pro Palestinian.

[MachsomWatch @machsomwatch]

Closure means that no West Bank or Gaza Palestinians, even those with permits to enter Israel, who have passed security checks to obtain those permits, can enter Israel. The closure is, of course, so that Israel's Jews can celebrate Passover, their holiday of freedom.

Millions of Palestinians do not have the right to vote for the Israeli government that rules them.

[Haaretz.com @haaretzcom]

Netanyahu just said he will annex the West Bank if re-elected. He is the only right-wing Israeli leader to accept the two-state solution, while doing everything in his power to thwart it | @AnshelPfeffer https://t.co/SnuCtZd0kh

[J Street UMD @JStreetUMD]

Hey Terps!
Maryland Hillel will be co-sponsoring Life Under the Occupation—a Conversation With Eid Suleiman.

[J Street U @jstreetu]

When Indiana University Hillel embraces the Zionist Organization of America and AIPAC but excludes and censors J Street U, you know that there's a major problem.
