Jews Against White Supremacy decries Betar USA for creating lists of vulnerable targets—an act of persecution reminiscent of the crimes of the Nazi regime. This, a week after the commemoration of Holocaust Remembrance Day. Our heroes of resistance, the Jewish partisans, would be ashamed. We also condemn the Trump administration for furthering the repression of our immigrant communities who, despite being vulnerable to the state, have shown immense courage in standing for justice and liberation from Turtle Island to Palestine. 

Jews Against White Supremacy stands firmly in solidarity with Ahmed Sa’adat, a hero of the resistance against zionist colonization and with the Palestinian liberation movement. As Jews, it is incredibly important to not only reject zionism but actively support and encourage anti-imperialist and decolonial movements in Palestine and the rest of the world. 

This week, starting on January 15th, all those dedicated to Palestinian liberation and the freedom of Palestinian political prisoners must spread awareness, educate your comrades, organize or join protests, and express solidarity! 

Jews Against White Supremacy commends Sinwar for his martyrdom in the struggle for the liberation of his people and the defeat of Zionism, Fascism, Racism, and Imperialism. In his lifetime, Yahya Sinwar destroyed the prestige of the Zionist entity forever destroying the myth of its invincibility. We have caught a glimpse of the horizon on the road toward liberation and nothing will stop us!

Rest in power to the incredible martyr Yahya Al-Sinwar – the bringer of the Flood!

Today marks the one year anniversary of Operation al-Aqsa Flood. On this day a year ago, and every day since, the Palestinian Resistance and their allies in Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, Iran, Iraq, and the rest of the Axis of Resistance, have demonstrated unyielding courage and resilience in the face of Zionist settler-colonialism and imperialist aggression. Our admiration goes out to the Palestinian Resistance and the Axis of Resistance, and we remember those that have been martyred in the last year.

We condemn the Jewish community’s complicity in Zionist settler-colonialism and the genocide of Palestinians—from the synagogue-hosted sales of stolen land to the normalizing, liberal Zionist institutions that claim to mourn Palestinian deaths but refuse to support the fight for Palestinian life—and we recognize our responsibility to fight against Zionist institutions.

That same imperialist system sponsors Netanyahu and his spiraling colony as they act with impunity in Palestine, Lebanon, and across the region. It is fitting that Netanyahu was rumored earlier this week to consider handing off his UN speaking gig to another criminal in his government. As repugnant as Netanyahu is, he is also just another replaceable cog in the death machine that is trampling this planet.

We must organize to end this entire horrific imperialist system, and we hope to see you in the streets to build power toward that goal.

The truth is that fascism will not fall by a vote, and neither will U.S. empire, which continues to be the greatest menace to life on earth. The urgency of liberation for all demands that we dream bigger in our methods and in our analysis, and we continue to look to the resistance of colonized people as a compass, from Haiti to Palestine.

We are as clear as ever: Palestine will be free.

Jews Against White Supremacy (JAWS) is deeply disappointed by New York University (NYU)’s updated Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment (NDAH) policy. This policy, which defines “Zionist” as a protected class, the same as “Jew” or “Israeli,” serves only to stifle anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian speech and criticism of Zionism as an ideology and political project. By defining Zionism as a core part of Jewish identity, this policy not only minimizes and erases anti-Zionist and non-Zionist Jews, but also reinforces a long-standing antisemitic conflation with Zionism and Jewishness.

We cannot stand for any sales of stolen land in the zionist entity and its settlements to be brokered in our communities. JAWS decries any smearing of protests against these settler real estate events as anti-Semitic. Propagandists have been glomming onto the fact that this series has been hosted at synagogues, ignoring that it is the upholding of colonial violence that profanes these spaces. Zionism must be dismantled anywhere and everywhere. As Jews, we cannot shy away from confronting this white supremacist ideology that has taken hold of many of our communities, or from building alternative organizations and institutions dedicated to liberation and justice.

We echo the Palestinian Resistance’s gratitude for Aaron. Although he was a member of the most murderous army in the world, his death shows his cognizance of his role in the genocide. His drastic attempt to help stop it expresses a level of repentance necessary for complicity in a genocidal death machine. We decry any dismissal of this act of teshuvah as a symptom of mental illness.

May Aaron’s memory be a revolution, and may the Palestinian resistance in all its forms receive the same admiration. We eagerly await the day where their lives will be honored in a free Palestine.

JAWS continues to put our trust in the Palestinian resistance; we must uphold the Thawabet until liberation is achieved. Victory to the resistance, healing to the wounded, and glory to the martyrs.

JAWS NYC unequivocally condemns both the attendance of Andrew deBuys (AKA Rathbone) of the normalizing Doha Forum as well as his targeted outburst at a Palestinian woman who critiqued the event.
We affirm that Palestinians are the leaders in their own liberation movement; as allies, our role is one of solidarity with Palestinian resistance in its principled struggle against the zionist occupation.

On December 10, 2023, Jews Against White Supremacy (JAWS) Toronto joined the International League of People’s Struggle, Palestinian Youth Movement, BAYAN, Latin American and Caribbean Solidarity Network, Tamil Freedom Coalition, Canada-Philippines Solidarity Organization Toronto, and International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines to commemorate International Human Rights Day. Shortly after beginning our peaceful rally, the Toronto Police Service (TPS) assaulted and arrested one of our comrades.

Our hearts go out to Hisham Awartani, Kinnan Abdalhamid, Tahseen Ali Ahmad, and their families as they heal from the horrific shooting in Vermont on November 25th. As white-supremacist/zionist violence directed at Palestinians in the U.S. rises, we unfortunately cannot say that we are surprised by this disturbing event or the lack of adequate response by our leaders.
