When they tell you who they are, you better listen.
This isn’t about Palestine. It’s about Jews. It’s not about a cease-fire. It’s about destroying Israel.
The Syracuse chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, the Syracuse Collective for Palestinian Liberation, the Resilient Indigenous Action Collective, and the Syracuse chapter of the Party for Socialism and Liberation organized the “Shut It Down for Palestine protest in downtown Syracuse, NY.
The anti-Israel students targeted comedian Jerry Seinfeld’s show.
Seinfeld is Jewish. He signed an open letter expressing support for Israel.
From The Daily Orange:
Attendees called for an end to U.S. aid to Israel and condemned members of the House of Representatives for passing a resolution Tuesday that labels anti-Zionism as antisemitism. At the event, protestors named the Biden Administration and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, chanting they “charge (them) with genocide.” They specifically asked the Biden administration for “no more money for Israel’s crimes” along with chants that “Palestine will never die.”“We have found ourselves at a point in history that is so crucial. A time where a better world is truly within our grasp,” said Hussein, a speaker in the crowd who did not give his last name. “It is precisely at moments like this we must come together and build everlasting solidarity with one another.”As people entered Landmark Theater for Seinfeld’s show, protestors stood outside. Police placed themselves between the two groups, forming a pathway for those looking to get inside the building while protestors chanted that Seinfeld was “complicit in genocide.”
“This is not about religion. This is about peace,” claimed Tara Sandlin, a Syracuse alumnus and organizer with the local DSA chapter. “We are here to come together to say that we care about human life.”
They hate that Seinfeld is not apologetic about being Jewish and supporting Israel.
In 2018, Seinfeld drew fire because he had the audacity to visit an Israeli training camp in the West Bank, where he took part in IDF training courses.
I only got into Seinfeld last year. Yeah, I’m late to the party. If someone told me I am Elaine, I would have watched earlier!
I think my favorite episode is “The Cigar Store Indian.”
I’m laughing just thinking about it.
