People were spotted today at
@nyuniversity
tearing down “Kidnapped” posters of the Israeli civilians taken hostage by Hamas.
This isn’t activism, it’s supporting the abduction of children. This is vile.
In Israel, civilians are shot and killed while going about their lives. In France, men with kippahs are chased onto train tracks and struck. In America, those who say they "don't care" what happens to the Jews when Israel is obliterated are invited to prestigious universities.
The victim murdered in one of today’s two terrorist bombing attacks in Jerusalem has been identified as 16-year-old Canadian Aryeh Schupak.
He was waiting for a bus to Yeshiva this morning when a bomb exploded next to the bus stop, fatally injuring him.
Baruch Dayan HaEmet.
This is how the othering of Jews and the demonization of Jews begins. When we are pushed out of once friendly spaces for speaking out against antisemitism.
Wow...
Ilhan Omar to
@JakeTapper
on her Jewish colleagues who criticized her comments:
"they haven't been partners in justice... they haven't been, you know, equally engaging in seeking justice around the world."
Eyal Haddad, a Jewish man from France, was murdered by his roommate with an axe last week. Even though the murderer told the police he did so because Eyal was Jewish, the French authorities have stated that the case was not motivated by antisemitism.
We demand Justice for Eyal.
Democrats ripping $1 billion in funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system is not progressive. The Iron Dome was built to protect the lives of all people living in Israel, not to attack enemies. We must confront the scourge of left-wing antisemitism in the halls of Congress.
In June of 1967, Israel defeated enemy armies yet again, this time in only six days. In the process, Israel captured the West Bank, also known as Judea and Samaria, the Gaza Strip, The Golan Heights, and the Sinai Peninsula.
LSJP at NYU said Zionists control the media. The Harvard Crimson said Zionists are of a conspiracy of power imbalance. CAIR called university Hillels “The enemy.”
Is this still not antisemitism?
We are appalled and furious over the criminal decision to not prosecute the murderer of Sarah Halimi z”l. Jew-hatred is Jew-hatred, regardless of where it comes from, who it comes from, or what the attacker was smoking. May her memory be a blessing and a wake-up call.
It is our mission to make sure every young Zionist, every Jew supporting Israel, knows they are not alone.
We know how hard it is to speak up when it seems like the tide is against you. If you’re looking for a community, a forum, a space, we’re here.
We’d like to take this moment to ask every single Middle Eastern country which has accused Israel of racism and apartheid since its birth in 1948,
Where 👏🏻 Are 👏🏽 Your👏🏾 Jews?
The war against Jewish sovereignty has not changed since 1948. Only now, because physical war didn’t work, there is a war of propaganda that ingeniously flips the image of the Jews, a tiny minority, from the oppressed to the oppressor.
It’s a lie. We have to fight the lie.
What is happening in Colleyville, Texas is the new reality for American Jews. Constant threats to our safety will not end unless we confront them with strength. As we pray for the synagogue congregants, we again press that it’s time to wake up.
NZC is organizing a fundraiser for Moshava, the Israeli food truck which was excluded from a festival after pressure from anti-Israel activists.
We are inspired by the outpouring of love for Moshava and we want to help! Donate through our GoFundMe below.
We are disappointed, but not surprised, to hear of vandalism to a majority Jewish fraternity and their Torah at George Washington University. We anxiously await the findings of the police investigation, and offer our solidarity and support to Jewish students at GW.
There is only one country in the world where a right-wing religious Jew, a left-wing secular Jew, and a Muslim Palestinian can form a governing coalition. Israel remains a Jewish a democratic state, despite unbelievable odds. We’re anxious to see what the future holds.
We stand with Israel against those who want to see it blown off the map. We stand for Jews living in peace in their ancestral homeland. We stand for Jews exercising their right to self determination. We stand against double standards as we fight to survive.
We abhor any false comparison drawn between the United States, Israel, and Hamas and the Taliban. We also condemn the voices in the Corbyn Caucus accusing Jewish members of Congress of acting in bad faith for condemning this language. But unfortunately, we expected nothing less.
Today marks the 54th anniversary of the death of Robert F. Kennedy. Kennedy was running for President in 1968 on a platform of civil rights and progress, but was assassinated during a campaign event in Los Angeles by Palestinian terrorist Sirhan Sirhan. Today we remember Bobby.
On this day in 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began. The heroism of the men, women, and youth who fought back against the Nazis continues to inspire us. Never let anyone suggest that the Jews did not resist evil in every way they could. The courage in Warsaw proves otherwise.

@IfNotNowOrg
thinks calling the largest American Jewish organizations your "enemies" is simply criticism of Zionism. Please, don't be like
@IfNotNowOrg
.
A cynical reading of Zahra Billoo’s speech on not trusting organizations that fight Islamophobia in the US while tacitly supporting Palestinian oppression. Despite what
@SFJCRC
and others in the American Jewish establishment say, criticizing Zionism is not inherently antisemitic.
We are so honored to be co-sponsoring the
#NoFearRally
in Washington D.C. this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing you there in solidarity with the Jewish people.
Pay attention to how many doors are closing. We can't be "Zionist" and LGBT, we can't be "Zionist" and support DC Statehood, we can't be "Zionist" and combat climate change, we can't be "Zionist" and support racial justice.
Jews must speak out against this familiar evil.
Popped over to COP26
#GlobalDayofAction
demonstration in London today.
Not much talk about the environment though lots about Palestine because apparently it's the same thing?
New Zionist Congress is proud to announce that we have officially surpassed 1,000 members. That’s a lot of Maccabees, and we’re so grateful to have you all on board. Still want a spot on our team? Sign up at today.
If you will it, it is no dream…
Israel has welcomed approximately 75 Ukrainian olim over the past few days. This is not the first time that Israel has opened its arms Ukrainian Jews, and it will not be the last time it offers a safe haven to them.
Jews everywhere are responsible for Jews anywhere. We’re praying for the safety of Ethiopian Jewry and we’re prepared to make a plenty of noise about this. Am Yisrael Chai.
All over the country, young Jews are being thrown out of progressive spaces. The latest example is
@SunriseMvmtDC
, an antisemitic organization which claims to speak for action on climate change. We will not beg them to change their ways.
Jewish young people want to fight back. We understand that the hatred we experience on campus has spread into our culture, institutions, and even into our own heads. The only way to rebel is to take pride in Judaism, in Jewish history, and in the Jewish state.
Welcome to NZC.
On this Yom HaZikaron, we honor the thousands of souls who gave their lives in defense of Jewish survival. Their service is a debt we can never repay. Their sacrifice is a solemn reminder of the cost of independence, the cost of freedom. May their memories be a blessing.
Tonight the saddest date on the Jewish calendar begins, during which we mourn the destruction of the second temple.
On Tisha B’Av, NZC wishes everyone observing an easy and meaningful fast.
It has been 20 years since the infamous Sbarro terrorist attack in Jerusalem.
In honoring the dead and the wounded, we remember the cost of living freely, a cause absolutely worth fighting for.
May the memories of the 15 victims, including 7 children, be a blessing.
We are deeply saddened to hear of the destruction of the Baba Yar Shoah Memorial at the hands of the Russians. This attack is a desecration of those who died at the hands of evil. We join the calls of those around in the world demanding an investigation into Putin’s war.
Our thoughts are with our Israeli family today as countless rockets are indiscriminately aimed at civilians. We are praying for your safety.
We are with you.
"The only effective response to Anti-Zionism is more Zionism." I argued today
@IsraelMFA
Global Forum for Combating Antisemitism. "Jews abroad are embracing Zionism, no longer as a program to build a state, but as a way of projecting confidence in their full Jewish identity."
The people who say Kaddish for terrorists are telling a woman who defeated a Holocaust denier in court how she ought to approach antisemitism. That’s rich.
Deborah Lipstadt is set to be the next antisemitism envoy.
Progressive Jews are asking her to use her role to fight antisemitism with integrity, focusing on the real violent threat of white nationalism, not conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism
This weekend, we’ll mourn the destruction of both Holy Temples. But today, the sovereign state of Israel killed 15 Jihadi terrorists.
War is always tragic. But we must also acknowledge the miracle that the Jewish people are no longer defenseless. We won’t be scattered again.
Today we celebrate the birthday of a visionary, a dreamer, a leader, a Jew. Theodor Herzl was indeed one of many figures to spearhead Zionism, but it was his “Der Judenstaat” pamphlet which laid the groundwork for its political execution. His work continues to inspire millions.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the 1972 Munich Summer Olympics massacre, when Palestinian terrorists kidnapped, tortured, and ultimately murdered 11 Israelis: 6 coaches and 5 athletes.
May their memories be a blessing.
“You have Jews, especially Jewish young people, who, their Zionism is a part of their identity, and they're entering these spaces like the campus, and they want to get involved… but they're being forced to check their Zionism at the door”
@blakeflayton
On this Yom Hashoah, we honor the memories of the 6 Million Jews killed by the Nazi regime. In their name, we swear to never fight antisemitism passively. We swear to stand up and speak out. For every Jew who has ever lit a candle in the darkness, we swear by “Never Again.”
Today, we honor the memories of the 11 Jews who perished at Tree of Life Synagogue. Instead of centering how they died, we should instead celebrate how they lived: members of our community who carried the torch of Jewish ritual. Mothers, fathers, neighbors, friends.
We stand in solidarity with everyone who is protesting for Sarah Halimi around the world today.
When others refuse to stand up for us, we will stand up for ourselves.
Je Suis Sarah Halimi.
Je Suis Juif.
Am Israel Chai.
Ilan Halimi, a French-Moroccan Jew, was murdered 16 years ago today. His kidnappers, believing all Jews were wealthy and powerful, held him for extremely high ransom, then tortured him barbarically until he succumbed. May his memory be a blessing. Am Israel Chai.
5th Avenue was ours! Thank you to everyone who cheered us on today at
@CelebrateIsrael
Parade! We loved seeing all of you brave the heat and show your pride.
There has been an ongoing pogrom against Orthodox Jews in New York City for more than a year.
Where is our hashtag? Where is our outrage? Where are the public statements from politicians and leaders?
They’re not coming. We don’t count.
NEW YORK: A chassidishe couple and their 1-year-old child were randomly slashed with a knife while walking in NYC. The suspect had been out on parole for a previous attempted murder.
It is absolutely disgusting that Jewish Voice for Peace, an antisemitic organization, is using Holocaust inversion to support 6 known Palestinian terrorists who want to inflict harm upon Jews. But this is only “anti-Zionism,” right?
We are so excited to announce our first ever essay competition. Open to high schoolers, college students, young adults, and featuring cash prizes! Visit the submission link in our bio to view the requirements. START WRITING!
The Gaza Strip is home to at least 3 different terrorist organizations which regularly conduct proto-military operations aimed at hurting Israeli civilians.
