If you have a problem with the Israeli government you can go protest outside the Israeli consulate. If you lead a mob to an American synagogue you just hate Jews.

Fact-checks improve accuracy. But can they penalize spreaders of misinfo? At @PolBehavior, @jacobausubel, @nnikdav and I show that the answer is yes-sometimes. Unknown misinfo producers can be penalized, but well-known figures get off. Link: https://t.co/DFcYVoIqGS

On this Rosh Hashana - the Jewish new year - I wish all my followers in Israel and around the world a happy new year. May all the hostages return to their families as quickly as possible and may the terrible war and suffering in Gaza end. May this be a year of peace and a beginning of a better future. Shana Tova

A young black man was found hanging from a tree at Delta State University TODAY. Where the fuck is the public outrage for him?????????

Trey Reed was his name.

[Embassy of Israel to the USA @IsraelinUSA]

Yaron and Sarah were our friends and colleagues. They were in the prime of their lives.

This evening, a terrorist shot and killed them as they exited an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in DC.

The entire embassy staff is heartbroken and devastated by their murder. No words can express the depth of our grief and horror at this devastating loss.

Our hearts are with their families, and the embassy will be by their side during this terrible time.

The firing of Biden officials from the Holocaust Museum is unprecedented & reprehensible. Museum Board membership is a solemn obligation to education, tolerance & preserving the memory of the six million lost. As with everything else, Trump is using it for purposes of political retribution. Unconscionable.

"If he was trying to terrorize our family, our friends, the Jewish community who joined us for a Passover seder in that room last night, hear me on this...

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

Photos of the arson damage at Gov. Josh Shapiro's residence show severe damage, including burnt remnants from the family's Passover Seder the night before. Horrifying.

[Sam Biederman @Biedersam]

First Amendment rights suspended under the false pretense of “fighting antisemitism” is abhorrent to me as an American and as a Jew.

[Dan Sheehan @danpjsheehan]

Disappearing a man for protesting state violence is fascism.

[Ethan Porter @EthanVPorter]

🚨 Lots of discussion about fact-checks--but what do they actually DO? In a new WP, @jacobausubel @nnikdav and I show that they improve belief accuracy + penalize leaders who spread misinfo--*IF* the leader is unknown https://t.co/dgm2CcffVW

[Senator Jacky Rosen @SenJackyRosen]

I’m horrified by the scenes coming out of Amsterdam. Jews are facing violence and terror because of who they are, and we must all condemn it in the strongest terms.

Ahead of the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the world cannot be silent when antisemitism rears its ugly head.

[Dov Waxman @DovWaxman]

I’m a scholar of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a longtime advocate for peace and for Palestinian rights. I have publicly opposed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, and its blockade and now destruction of Gaza. I support the rights of students and faculty to peacefully protest against Israel, including by establishing protest encampments, such as the one on my campus at UCLA. I do not want these protest camps to be removed by the police, whose propensity for unnecessary and excessive use of force is well-established.

As a Jew, I do not personally feel threatened or unsafe because of the protest encampment at UCLA. I know some of the students taking part and believe they are well-intentioned. Many, probably most, of the protesters are simply horrified by the mass killing and near-famine in Gaza and want it to end. So do I. But I cannot join this protest because it is not just a protest against the war in Gaza.

Among the demands of the protest organizers is the demand to “sever all UC-wide connections to Israeli universities, including study abroad programs, fellowships, seminars, and research collaborations, and UCLA’s Nazarian Center.” Needless to say, I oppose the demand to boycott the Nazarian Center, which I direct. The Center is devoted to the academic study of Israel and has no ties to the Israeli government. I also oppose boycotting Israeli academic institutions and academic boycotts in general.

But it isn’t only the demands of the protest organizers that I have a problem with. One of the organizations behind the protest, Students for Justice in Palestine, has expressed support for Hamas and has even celebrated the massacre of Israelis on October 7. Being in solidarity with Palestinians does not necessitate supporting Hamas. On the contrary, Hamas oppresses Palestinians and has no concern for the lives of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. They have openly stated that they are willing to sacrifice countless Palestinian lives—“martyrs”—for their cause, which is the ultimate eradication of Israel. They have spent billions building a vast underground network to protect themselves and their weaponry, but they haven’t built a single bomb shelter for Gazan civilians or sheltered them in their tunnels. They are prolonging the devastating war in Gaza, and the humanitarian crisis there, in order to maintain their power and authoritarian rule in Gaza.

I know that many people in the pro-Palestinian movement don’t support Hamas and don’t praise the October 7 massacre, but groups like SJP lead the movement on many college campuses, exploiting the sympathy that many students rightly feel for the suffering of Palestinians. Students and faculty demonstrating in support of Palestinians shouldn’t ignore the fact that the organizers of these demonstrations are, in many cases, ideologically committed to eradicating Israel and expelling Israeli Jews, supportive of violence against Israeli civilians, and willing to ignore or even justify Hamas’ strategy of sacrificing Palestinian civilians for their political ends.
