[cont.] Training for NYPD Officers Categorized the Keffiyeh and Watermelon as Antisemitic Symbols
https://jewishcurrents.org/training-nypd-keffiyeh-watermelon-antisemitism-israel-palestine
>> Experts on antisemitism and civil liberties say the training reinforces a police culture that treats Palestinians (and Arabs and Muslims more broadly) with suspicion, while doing little to curb antisemitism. “They are actively conflating any care for Palestinian humanity or rights—and in some cases, Palestinian existence itself—with antisemitism,” said Dove Kent, the US senior director for Diaspora Alliance, a group that fights antisemitism and its weaponization. “None of this does anything to increase Jewish safety.”
>> ... #CAM was founded in 2019 ... One of [its] main goals is lobbying elected officials around the country to adopt the controversial International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (#IHRA) definition of antisemitism—which classifies some anti-Zionist speech as antisemitic—into state law.

[Irish] Government to shelve Occupied Territories Bill as it's labelled 'economic terrorism' (Business Plus, 2025-04-02)
https://businessplus.ie/economy-2/occupied-territories-bill-economic-terrerism/
———
>> As the Government braces for the impact of Mr Trump's tariffs … senior Government sources said … that introducing the controversial Bill now would be akin to “economic terrorism”.
>> Asked what next steps could be expected, a source replied “scrapping the Occupied Territories Bill”.
>> A spokesman for Taoiseach Micheál Martin said while there is “no timeline” for the introduction of the legislation he didn't believe it was linked to the US tariffs ...
>> There has been substantial pressure from the US for the Government to drop the Bill, which would ban the trade of goods and services between #Ireland and illegal Israeli settlements.
>> US Ambassador to Ireland Clare Cronin warned Mr Martin last year there would be “consequences” if the legislation was passed…

“[Anna] Dumont’s essay is entitled ‘What Autocrats Want from Academics: Servility’. And that is exactly what I refuse to give them, even in my small, insignificant way.”
“Let me say this publicly:
“Donald Trump and his minions are destroying democracy, fundamental freedoms, and the Constitution on which these values are based.
“By supporting Israel’s disproportionate response to the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 2023, the United States is complicit in the crimes against the Palestinian people in Gaza, which should be properly investigated by the International Criminal Court.
“Punishing people for saying these two things violates the U.S. Constitution and the value of which Americans have always prided themselves: the freedom of speech.
“We, in the free world, will keep reminding of these truths, that ‘we hold to be self-evident’”
Germany is now deporting pro-Palestine EU citizens. This is a chilling new step | Hanno Hauenstein (Guardian, 2025-04-03)
“The country’s so-called political centre has licensed a new era of authoritarianism – to the AfD’s delight”
(The author “placed these deportations in the broader context of #Germany ’s discourse around Israel and Palestine – a repressive climate that has, … targeted high-profile figures…”)

>> Since that first vigil, they have held four more at Saturday night protests in downtown Tel Aviv. The display inspired similar actions in Kafr Qasim, Jaffa, Haifa, Karkur, and Tel Aviv University, as well as at Yad Vashem on Holocaust Remembrance Day. At an anti-war protest in Tel Aviv organized by the Jewish-Arab movement Standing Together, police initially banned the display but later backed down; in the end, thousands held up images of Gazan children.
>> Since the beginning of the war, there has been a minority of Israeli Jewish activists who have protested against it … many have been attacked or arrested.
>> … these silent displays of mourning seem to generally provoke a different reaction from the Israeli public than typical left-wing demonstrations. … “There’s a simple truth here that speaks for itself. We’ve killed so many children…”
