Zioness Statement on Columbia’s Disciplinary Action Against Antisemitic Agitators

We wholeheartedly support Columbia’s decision to take appropriate disciplinary action against those who desecrated campus and normalized heinous anti-Jewish, anti-American, pro-terror ideas. But these announced actions remain totally unsatisfying. The phrase “Too Little, Too Late,” does not properly convey our resentment for their callous indifference to the physical and emotional safety of Jewish students and faculty for a year …

Zioness Statement on Rabbi Ari Jun Being Disinvited from a Cincinnati Rally Against White Supremacy

This past Sunday, organizers of an anti-Nazi Rally in Cincinnati put out a call for faith leaders to speak.

Zioness Statement on the improper use of hundreds of thousands of dollars by New York’s Democratic Socialists of America

A new report from the New York Times today says that the state’s election watchdog says a socialist group improperly spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the 2022 elections. Clawing it back could upend the movement’s finances. “This is yet another sign that the DSA is both not progressive, and not viable. True progressives …
