James, as students protest for Peace in Gaza across college campuses, Netanyahu tried to distract from their message with accusations of antisemitism. Bernie quickly pointed out that Netanyahu’s tactics were meant only to draw attention away from the atrocities in Gaza.
“No, Mr. Netanyahu,” Bernie said. “It is not antisemitic or pro-Hamas to point out that in a little over six months your extremist government has killed 34,000 Palestinians.” Bad faith accusations from Netanyahu, the media, and right-wing lawmakers will not stop the movement for Peace in Gaza.
Add your name: End U.S. complicity in the unprecedented bombing campaign against Palestinians. Permanent CEASEFIRE NOW!
Antisemitism, and all forms of bigotry, are vile and unacceptable. It is also vile and unacceptable to mislabel a mass protest movement to distract from the tens of thousands of murders carried out by the Israeli military with American-made bombs. That’s why Bernie had to speak out.
President Biden and Congress must listen to the courageous protesters, pro-Peace progressives, and the majority of American people who are calling for an end to the massacre in Gaza.
Add your name: Demand President Biden and Congress broker Peace in Gaza and END U.S. government support of the Netanyahu regime bombing civilians and blocking humanitarian aid.
When we organize, we win.
Our Revolution
