The outward racism and xenophobia of the Trump Administration is a stain on our nation. This degradation of Arab people is part of Republicans continued efforts to divide our country and spread fear across our communities.
We must denounce these attacks for what they are: racist and disgusting. This rhetoric has no place in our country.

Israel Shoots and Wounds Palestinian Child Imad Zahra in the Head East of al-Bureij Refugee Camp Today

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s racist remarks reflect the anti-Arab hate that has become a hallmark of the Trump administration. His attempt to erase Arab contributions to society is part and parcel of this government’s effort to scapegoat Arabs for America’s problems. The reality is that several Arabs have won the Nobel Peace Prize in years past. Such hatred is political desperation from an administration that has no tangible success to show the American people. Instead of delivering results and upholding the Constitution’s promise of equal protection, Kennedy resorts to contributing to rising anti-Arab and anti-Muslim hate unfolding in the U.S.

Take Action: Tell the Census Bureau To Count Everyone
The U.S. Department of Commerce and the Census Bureau recently proposed major changes to the 2030 census that could exclude many people living in the U.S., eliminate all questions about race and ethnicity, and make it harder to count communities accurately.
Undercounting people and erasing race and ethnicity data means less representation and fewer resources for the communities that need them the most.

🇫🇷 French authorities moved Kevin T., the 39-year-old accused of a racist shooting spree west of Paris, to a psychiatric unit on Sunday, suspending his police custody for up to 48 hours of observation.
He killed Pengo Bossio Wangi, a 26-year-old French amateur mixed martial arts fighter of African origin, and wounded five others, including a 12-year-old girl who was shot eight times and remains in critical condition.
Kevin T. told investigators he targeted "Black people and Arabs" when he opened fire from his car in Trappes and neighboring La Verrière, near Versailles, on Friday, Le Monde reported. He said he wanted to avenge shopkeepers whose stores were looted during the Oct. 17 protests.
Police found a copy of Mein Kampf in his apartment, which was booby-trapped with gas cylinders wired to a timer, and a submachine gun in his car. He also tested positive for cocaine and cannabis.

When you see American politicians demonizing people based on religion, remember that Israel is betting on Islamophobia to save its standing in the West:
A "leaked study solicited by Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs... found that the most effective tactic in shifting public opinion would be to drive fear of “Radical Islam” and “Jihadism”"

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has launched a wave of indiscriminate immigration arrests across the state without public announcement. The operation, which ICE has reportedly named “Operation Safe California,” began in San Diego earlier this month, will last at least 45 days, and directs federal agents to arrest anyone they believe lacks immigration status.
Learn how you can be prepared, what your rights are, and where to find trusted legal support if you encounter ICE: ca.cair.com/updates/communit…

Today, Brad Lander, rabbis, and other New Yorkers accompanied Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest. For that, they were detained by the Israeli government.
Harvesting olives is not illegal. The occupation is.
I am thankful that Brad has been released. But other New Yorkers remain detained, and they must be released immediately.
The same Israeli government detaining them has committed a horrific genocide against Palestinians, killing more than 74,000 people over the last few years alone.
The detention of these New Yorkers must end. The occupation must end. The genocide must end.

I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee).
But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention. For harvesting olives. They should all be released immediately.
To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day. These detentions by the IDF are one more attempt to undermine Palestinians’ right to harvest their olive groves, travel on their roads, and live in their homes. Yet one more element of escalating, and very clearly state-sponsored ethnic cleansing.
We’ll update on their status as soon as we hear.
