The presentation itself, exclusively obtained by Jewish Currents, was in large part concerned with pro-Palestine activism, casting the Palestine solidarity movement as a significant threat to Jewish safety despite consistent documentation that antisemitism in the United States is most prevalent among far-right white nationalists.
The training, which focused heavily on student protesters, repeatedly conflated antisemitism with anti-Zionism.
It categorized campus demonstrators as extremists tied to Hamas, and branded as antisemitic Palestinian symbols like the watermelon and the keffiyeh, as well as phrases such as “settler colonialism” and “all eyes on Rafah.”
I miss the days when antisemitism was accusing Jews of being avaricious, dishonest conspirators responsible for nearly every bad thing that happens. Now it’s all boring stuff like saying ‘from the river to the sea’, ‘ceasefire now’, and ‘maybe sending children to a military detention center isn’t a good idea’.
