“Billoo’s numerous and unqualified attacks on Zionists leave no room in this coalition for American Jews, 95% of whom support Israel’s right to exist and consider Zionism an inherent part of our identities, alongside our commitment to progressive politics,” it continued.
“No amount of Jewish appointees to the new board can justify the appointment of an individual like Billoo,” Zioness asserted, “who has a well-established track record of anti-Jewish racism.”
“Anyone who cares about anti-oppression work will recognize immediately that Billoo’s many rabidly antisemitic comments contribute to a culture in this country and around the world in which Jews are being harassed, assaulted in the street, and gunned down in our houses of worship,” the group stated.
