When Airbnb yielded to boycotters of Israel by ceasing to list residences in the West Bank, one “Jewish” organization celebrated the decision as “an incredible victory.”
#NAME ORGANIZATION AFTER EFFECTS COLOR FINESSE LE REGESTIRE CODE#
When CNN announced that it had fired commentator Marc Lamont Hill after he called for “free Palestine from the river to the sea,” widely understood code for the abolition of Israel, one “Jewish” organization purchased a full-page ad in CNN’s hometown Atlanta Journal-Constitution demanding Hill’s reinstatement. It coupled this affirmation with a swipe at the dissenters, charging “accusations of antisemitism in the Women’s March are being utilized in an attempt to undermine a powerful resistance movement that is taking on Trump and white supremacy.” When some leaders and some entire local chapters of the 2019 Women’s March withdrew in protest of anti-Semitic comments and actions by its national leaders, one “Jewish” organization declared itself “proud to endorse” the march. It hailed Davis as “a tireless advocate for the human rights of all people.”
When protests by the Alabama Jewish community prompted the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute to cancel an award to the staunchly anti-Israel Communist Party leader Angela Davis, one “Jewish” group circulated a petition demanding reinstatement of the award. When Britain’s three Jewish newspapers published an unprecedented joint front-page editorial warning that the Labour Party under Jeremy Corbyn harbored anti-Semitism and constituted a threat to the Jewish community, one American “Jewish” organization issued a spirited defense of Corbyn, charging that “antisemitism is being cynically exploited to target advocates of Palestinian rights.” When Congresswoman Ilhan Omar posted a tweet denounced by fellow Democrats as anti-Semitic, one self-styled “Jewish” group rallied to her defense and organized a social-media campaign, #IStandWithIlhan.
