In thirty minutes, Starbucks is shutting down all of its Buffalo stores, telling partners to go to an event with Howard Schultz. How do the shareholders feel about losing all that revenue in what is typically our most profitable launch/earnings quarter? #tobeapartner

So, uh, how did this stop antisemitism?

The Israeli military — which is about to receive $1 billion from American taxpayers on top $3.8 billion it gets every year — continues to be complicit in Israeli settlers’ crimes against Palestinian farmers.

sent this to my boss today. feels good af tbh.

Palestinian narratives have been absent from the lives of many Americans — and especially American Jews. This contributes to a culture of anti-Palestinian racism and ignorance.

@Netflix’s new “Palestinian Stories” collection is a good place to start for many in our community.

[The IMEU @theIMEU]

Netflix's "Palestinian Stories" collection launches today featuring 32 films by Palestinians or about Palestinian stories! 🇵🇸

Below are some of the movies that will be added today, which are you most excited to stream?

There is no excuse for yesterday’s relentless smear campaign that deliberately twisted the facts in order to make it seem as if Sally Rooney’s legitimate political decision not to work with an Israeli publishing house was an antisemitic refusal to translate her novel into Hebrew.

Do you think we forgot this, @AIPAC?

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

Organizations claiming to represent American Jews should stop embracing far-right, corrupt politicians.

.⁦@BernieSanders:⁩ “The United States gives an enormous amount of aid to Israel – nearly $4 billion a year. It is totally appropriate for the United States to say what that aid may and may not be used for.” https://t.co/v2890IwRus

"We cannot be talking only about Israelis' need for safety at the same time Palestinians are living under a violent apartheid system... We must be consistent in our commitment to human life. Period. Everyone deserves to be safe there."

- @RashidaTlaib, with courage and clarity.

This should be common sense by now.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

😂 She said all of that with a straight face.

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

The regular untimely loss of Palestinian life has become the norm under apartheid.

For the sake of these children and for everyone’s equality, we need to dismantle apartheid.

The cruelty is the point.

I tend to avoid posting Covid opinions but screw it: I think we should do this and strictly enforce it. I think the persuadable subset of the voluntarily unvaccinated need to have the stakes raised: if literal death doesn’t scare them into compliance, maybe social death will.

The global campaign to strip @benandjerrys of their kosher certification for not doing business in the Occupied Territories is a stark example of how Judaism has become synonymous with unquestioning support for Israel and its policy of endless occupation. https://t.co/8ZgsXnGjc7

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

The Israeli government’s response to the Ben and Jerry’s settlement boycott doesn’t make a distinction between the West Bank and Israel because for decades the Israeli government’s policy hasn’t made a distinction between the West Bank and Israel. It’s de-facto annexed.

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

This is what happens when the whims of Jews are privileged over the rights of Palestinians. https://t.co/oUGoJWtQy8

[IfNotNow🔥✡️ @IfNotNowOrg]

The concerted effort to smear Ben and Jerry's as antisemitic cheapens the word and makes it harder to fight actual antisemitism — you know, the people chanting "Jews will not replace us" or using Soros as a scapegoat or spraying swastikas on synagogues.
