Of course, it’s not news for @nytimes that in Park Slope where the food co-op bans Israeli products that this rally happened with a Muslim Moroccan leading the way.
At a rally against BDS in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, Mustapha Ezzerghani, a Muslim from Morocco, gave a rousing speech in which he pointed out that tens of millions of Moroccans benefit from Israeli technology and innovation, even as activists in the United States push to boycott the Jewish state.
BDS is not a movement for peace. It’s a campaign of exclusion that singles Jews out and treats connection to the Jewish state as something to be punished.
The persecution of Jews doesn’t begin with physical violence. It begins by normalizing discrimination and double standards.
Standing against BDS means standing for the belief that Jews should never be excluded from economic or civic life because they are Jewish.
This is INSANE.
Toronto police say young people are being recruited and paid to shoot at synagogues, Jewish schools, and the U.S. Consulate.

Meet Tlaleng Mofokeng, UN rapporteur on health and former Chair of all the UN rights experts.
She promoted prostitution in Teen Vogue, called me “evil scum,” and was found guilty by 🇿🇦 of bringing the medical profession into disrepute.
Today I take the floor to challenge her.
Members of Palestine Action cry as a UK court decides to uphold the terror designation for their group.
If you didn't want your group to be viewed as terroristic, maybe don't go assaulting women with sledgehammers?
Despite what Brad tells the NYT, we all know that the only reason Brad Lander ran against Dan Goldman was b/c he lost the Mayoral race & Mamdani didn’t want him in his Administration (citing his ineffectiveness as Comptroller). That’s it.
For me, it’s déjà vu because it reminds me of 2015, when President Obama negotiated the JCPOA, the nuclear deal with Iran. Israel was also iced out of that negotiation. The United States did not share the details of those negotiations with Israel at the time, and here it appears to be happening again.
@RussOnPolitics Our district is only 9% Jewish. Latimer ( Catholic) has very strong relationships in his 35 + years in politics. Won by 17 points against a Black incumbent in a 50% POC district. Bowman’s allegiance is to the movement. He used D’s & we booted him out. No @NYCMayor job offer.
@SallyGold@InsideCityHall@DarializaforNY@errollouis The far left movement radicals document their beliefs on social media with the hubris that’s foundational to them. Every question she doesn’t answer is known & will be used in this campaign.

This antisemitic bigot should be blacklisted from all future employment.
Instead, he’ll probably end up as a deputy commissioner working for @ZohranKMamdani at City Hall.

36 council members co-sponsored Menin’s amended school buffer bill. Even among those who didn’t, many are endorsing against Mamdani’s Congressional picks (de la Rosa, Nurse, Restler, Hudson, Gutierrez). The truth is ZM’s political power is much more tenuous than people realize
@RussOnPolitics His Jewish constituency is anti-Israel Jews who were born Jewish but are largely indifferent to being Jews. The only time they express themselves as Jews is to show their public contempt for their birthright.
This is the 2nd or 3rd time Brad Lander shamelessly mentions that he attended the Rachel Goldberg-Polin book talk, an event where he came early, made the rounds & then left in the middle of her talk. Maybe he should read the book instead of using her pain for his political career
