The Uncivil Collective has tracked the rise of new "civil dialogue" programming on campuses, showing intense overlap between Zionist and racist, right-wing funders.

Four Times reporters, 53 paragraphs, and no mention of AIPAC’s new stealth strategy: hiding Israel and running ads on unrelated issues in primaries.

Firing Jessica Tisch, a literal billionaire ruling over NYC’s army, is such low-hanging fruit. My god.

What Tucker and company are doing is really obvious, but the thing that needs more attention is the susceptible audience of liberals and "resisters." It's high time a lot of people reckon with the fact that this is a group that is, probably unconsciously, conservative and fascist-curious.

The audience for the civil rights grift was white people who wanted affirmation that white privilege wasn't their responsibility. That racial justice demands had become "extremism." (Paging "woke 1.0" hand-wringers.) See Jesse Jackson for the last word.

...then partnering with civil rights figures who were moving rightward, becoming neocons. And Zionists. Bayard Rustin is the real heartbreaker here.

Key tactic: inventing a crisis of "Black antisemitism" as a reason to attack Black liberation movements...

TALK ABOUT IT: Brownwashing the !@#$% out of conservative politics has a long history as play of the Zionist movement.

I said: “Sir, you need to stop kicking hundreds of thousands of people off health insurance just because they are vulnerable. ‘Not using you insurance’ is not a reason to evict someone from their insurance.”

The audience for this grift wasn't Black people or antiracists. It was white ppl who were like yeah, Woke 1.0 -- sorry I mean the civil rights movement -- rlly got out of hand! Albert Vorspan with stern words for self-congratulatory groups like the ADL. And Jesse Jackson with the last word.

The ADL has tried hilariously hard to never mention my book, but now it's in the teeth of Zionist trolls and they're making sure everyone knows. Womp womp.

And btw, there's plenty of collective antiracist work by Black & Jewish organizers, but it has nothing to do with megadonor-funded Zionist orgs. And it doesn't go around calling itself "Black-Jewish alliance." From the book:

I mostly think of Robert Kraft as the cringefest who astroturfs his warped Zionist vision of "Black-Jewish alliance." But he's also a billionaire megadonor who *took* a million dollars from the Israeli state to oppose BDS. WTF? The combo of money & racism makes people really weird.

Must read: @soljbrager.bsky.social’s beautiful essay confronting the conservative capture of “Holocaust education,” its deployment against BIPOC, queer, & trans people, and its dire real-world consequences for teaching against genocide.
