My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

"Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat.
ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers.
First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident.
"There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident.
In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk.
ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency.
It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE.”

As an undergrad, Columbia/Barnard Hillel was my Jewish home on campus, and integral to my Jewish journey beyond Orthodoxy. Watching it host a “move to Jerusalem” event WITH THE JERUSALEM MUNICIPALITY - as that same government demolishes Palestinian homes, is so deeply disturbing and unacceptable.

New: Jewish students announce a boycott Columbia/Barnard Hillel, as it hosts an Israeli group "encouraging Jewish students to move to settlements on land Israel seized from Palestinians." Says the group recently demolished homes, displacing Palestinian families & it intends to demolish dozens more.

Jewish Students Announce Boycott Of Columbia/Barnard Hillel As It Hosts Israeli Officials Who Demolish Palestinian Homes
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Thursday, October 8
Media Contact: columbiabarnardivp@gmail.com
NEW YORK, NY - The day after October 7th, Columbia/Barnard (CB) Hillel's Kraft Center is holding an event with the Jerusalem Municipality, encouraging Jewish students to move to settlements on land Israel recently seized from Palestinians. Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) announces a boycott of CB Hillel, as long as the organization continues to support settler Zionism.
The group Hillel is hosting, the Jerusalem Municipality, demolished a residential building in al-Bustan, East Jerusalem, displacing two Palestinian households, according to a United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs report from September 18. The Jerusalem Municipality also intends to demolish dozens of Palestinian housing units in al-Bustan. We condemn these demolitions as part of a sustained campaign of genocide against the Palestinians living in occupied East Jerusalem.
On October 6th, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gir shared footage of himself sitting in a bulldozer in occupied East Jerusalem and boasting about the demolition of Palestinian homes.
"CB Hillel's collaboration with the Jerusalem Municipality makes clear what many Jewish students on our campus have known for years: Columbia/Barnard Hillel would rather platform and encourage violent Israeli settler-colonialism than create a welcoming religious space for all," said a spokesperson for Columbia JVP. "As a Jewish student, I am disgusted Columbia has allowed Hillel to platform an organization actively displacing Palestinians, and demand that the University not only create a space where anti-Zionist Jewish students feel comfortable and welcome, but drop Columbia/Barnard Hillel once and for all."
While Columbia/Barnard Hillel claims to be a pluralistic space for Jewish life, its support of Zionism and normalization of …

The oft-cited claim that October 7, 2023 was the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust ignores the fact more Jews died in the Argentine military junta's Dirty War, due in part to the link between Jews and leftism. But accepting that would lead to a very different narrative of Jewish history.

Truly incredible that this is how the media is choosing to eulogize the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in US history, who was a serial sexual abuser of children. For all the talk about "deep state" plots to abuse children, no one even remembers this case.

From CBS News: "Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died."

Like this gives the Saudis a content veto power over EA, Bioware, Paramount, CBS, Nickelodeon, Showtime, and BET, and if the newest merger gets approved they’ll also have content veto power over HBO, CNN, the whole WB universe, Discovery, TBS, TNT, plus the PGA and ATP. It’s pretty stunning.
