NEW YORK (AP) — Demonstrators from a Jewish group filled the lobby of Trump Tower on Thursday to denounce the immigration arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian activist who helped lead protests against Israel at Columbia University.
The Jewish Voice for Peace protesters, who carried banners and wore red shirts reading “Jews say stop arming Israel,” chanted “Bring Mahmoud home now!”
After warning the protesters to leave the Fifth Avenue building or face arrest, police put at least 65 of them in zip ties and loaded them into a police van and city bus about an hour into the demonstration. ...
Among the protesters was actor Debra Winger, who has discussed her Jewish faith and upbringing over the years. ...
Protester Sophie Edelhart, who studies Yiddish at a school in Canada, said she took part in the demonstration because she didn’t want to “cede ground” to Trump and “fascism.” ...

Is this the Bee. Jews are protesting for a supporter of Hamas? YGTBSM
What gets me are the otherwise-decent conservatives who simply HATE JEWS, so they get in bed with the likes of this terrorist supporter.
Self-loathing jews.
Just like Schwartz Gyorgy.
Yeah, supporting Hamas is reprehensible as is Hamas or any activist who said they supported Hamas.
With that said, if these, or any other protesters from various, multiple religious groups within Judaism who say they don’t support Hamas while simultaneously saying they don’t support Netanyahu, I could understand that position as it would be along the lines of someone who said they were anti-Saddam while simultaneously against the war in Iraq.
Liberal Jews. They want to blessings, but not the morality..
It like the "QUEERS FOR PALESTINE/HAMAS" group.
Arrest a few. Follow their legal representation and who’s paying the bills. Identify command, control, logistics, travel, lodging, and per diem. Guaranteed NGO behind it.
“Jews for Suicidal Stupidity” ?
I think that’s harsh. While I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them were leftists, some may be misguided, amd maybe some are pro-Israel but against the Netanyahu administration.
> “Flood”?
Yeah. Like when Biden filled his Depends.
Columbia did suspend and even expell some pro hamas supporters today, a number of them k guess. BUT the only reason they did was because pres trump cut funding to the school.
Absolutely.
$40/hour by US AID.
they are not Jewish, that lie has been exposed for a long time
(a few of them do have Jewish names but they replaced faith with communism a long time ago)
JFP is a SorozNazi-funded front group for anti-Jewish propaganda purposes, plus a few Useful Idiots and very very naive fellow-travellers, and that’s about all. In other words, another far leftist “activist” agitation group like elements of PCUSA, the World Council of Churches, and many more. Parading as Christian or Jewish but in fact they pursue a totally different, usually diametrically-opposed agenda.
