”On June 11, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “...The ENTIRE American Jewish community bears culpability for the horrific oppression in Palestine…”
Another common form of anti-Semitism, according to the IHRA’s working definition is: “Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.”

In the same thread, Carrington tweeted: “The walls of AmeriKKKa’s synagogues and Jewish institutions are stained with Palestinian blood…”

Calling for the Destruction of the United States and Israel

Carrington was responding to a tweet that said: “Hamas' explicit goal is the eradication of Israel…”
On May 15, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “The only thing we should be praying for is Israel’s absolute defeat. All the high tech weaponry in the world won’t mask an entire army of cowards. The moment that Palestinians actually start resisting? Goodbye.
#FreePalestine
"Also, on May 15, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “Dear everyone ‘praying for peace’: I DON’T CARE ABOUT ISRAEL AND I DON’T FEEL BAD ABOUT IT. F**k Israel, periodt.
Long Live Palestine—from the river to the sea. #FreePalestine #SaveSheikhJarrah”
In May 2021, Palestinian violence erupted in anticipation of an Israel High Court ruling on eviction proceedings concerning over 70 Palestinian tenants illegally residing in Jewish-owned properties in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah.
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free” is a chant calling to dismantle the State of Israel. It has also been employed by Hamas leader Khaled Mashal to call for the replacement of Israel with an Islamic state.
On May 6, 2019, Carrington tweeted: “... I want a complete and total dissolution of the State of Israel. No, I will not defend its ‘right’ to exist…”
Whitewashing Hamas Terrorism
On May 13, 2021, during Israel’s OGW against Hamas in Gaza, Carrington tweeted: “STOP BLAMING HAMAS FOR THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT’S POGROM.'I don’t want to see one motherf**ker uttering a lonesome word about Hamas as long as Israel continues this bloodbath. Hamas didn’t start this s**t.”
On May 12, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “... Whoever the bad guys are that you assume exist in Palestine, they have every right to f**k the Israeli government forces up. That’s how armed community defense works. If the state attacks civilians, the civilians have every right to fight back.”

I want all defenders of Zionism and colonialism to get the f**k out of our spaces and out of our lives. I am not interested in a middle ground with the architects of ethnic cleansing and genocide. May they all burn in hell.”
Zionism is the belief that Jews have the right to self-determination in their own national home, and the right to develop their national culture.

On June 1, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “What do I think of Zionists? F**k you, f**k you, and f**k you. Zionism is genocide. Zionism is death. F**k Zionism and f**k Zionists. I ain’t apologizing. NEVER.”

On May 25, 2021, Carrington tweeted, referring to tweets supporting violent Palestinian resistance: “I don’t give a s**t what happens to a Zionist settler in Palestine…”
Justifying Vandalization of a Synagogue
On August 27, 2020, Carrington tweeted: “That big Israeli flag in the shul’s courtyard is clear support for Zionism and apartheid.

On the same date, Carrington tweeted: “You need to retract this statement, @IfNotNowOrg. We cannot keep giving synagogues passes on their open support of Israeli government apartheid.” in response to a tweet by the group IfNotNow that condemned the graffiti.
Demonizing Jews
On May 13, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “...White Jewish men are f**ked up. And the only reason Jewish institutions cling so tightly to Israel as this Jewish paradise is because white Jewish men want their own settler colonial superpower.”Also, on May 13, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “I don’t care if rapists and genocidalists are murdered, or become refugees, or are reduced to eating their own s**t in a gulag. Not even if they are Jewish. The bastards made that blood-drenched bed, and they need to lie in it.”
Carrington continued in another tweet: “If kraquer [cracker] lynchers and racists who happen to be Jewish become casualties, so be it. I don’t give a f**k what happens to colonizers. Never did and never will.”
The term “cracker” is used as a slur against white people.
On June 10, 2021, Carrington tweeted: “The [Jewish] Diaspora is proud to support a nation of Jewish adults who kill Indigenous children for sport…”

We are profoundly moved by their resistance and commit ourselves to standing with them with determination...”

.”Supporting BDS
On September 21, 2020, Carrington tweeted, promoting a boycott of Pillsbury “for their enforcement of apartheid policies against Palestinian residents and workers.”Around 50 percent of the General Mills Pillsbury factory’s employees are Palestinian. General Mills Middle East was recognized in 2020 as one of the best places to work in the Asia, Middle East and Africa regions.
On June 22, 2020, Carrington tweeted: “Palestinian folk/comrades who are makeup and skincare fans: How do y’all navigate all these makeup brands whose parents companies violate BDS? Every other week I find out about a favorite makeup/skincare brand who is in violation of the boycott. Damn!
”On January 29, 2019, Carrington tweeted: “... this Jewish voter here [Carrington] supports the BDS movement.”

Carrington’s tweet linked to a petition by the BDS movement that called on “UN and governments across the world to take immediate steps to implement a comprehensive and legally binding military embargo on Israel, similar to that imposed on South Africa during apartheid.”
JVP
JVP was founded in Berkeley, California in 1996, as an activist group with an emphasis on the “Jewish tradition” of peace, social justice and human rights. The organization is currently led by Rebecca Vilkomerson and its board members include Israel critics Naomi Klein, Judith Butler, Noam Chomsky and Tony Kushner.
JVP, which generally employs civil disobedience tactics to disrupt pro-Israel speakers and events, consists of American Jews and non-Jewish “allies” highly critical of Israeli policies. A staunch supporter of the BDS movement, JVP claims to aim its campaigns at companies that either support the Israeli military (Hewlett-Packard) or are active in the West Bank (SodaStream).
Although several Jewish groups critical of Israeli policies, like J Street and Partners for a Progressive Israel, make efforts to operate within the mainstream American Jewish community, JVP functions outside. The group is often criticized for serving as a tokenized Jewish voice for the pro-Palestinian camp and is widely regarded as the BDS movement’s “Jewish wing.”
JVP denies the notion of “Jewish peoplehood” and has even gone so far as to refer to its own Ashkenazi (Jews who spent the Diaspora in European countries) leadership as “white supremacy inside of JVP.”
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has accused JVP of being “the largest and most influential Jewish anti-Zionist group in the United States,” and said the group “exploits Jewish culture and rituals to reassure its own supporters that opposition to Israel not only does not contradict, but is actually consistent with, Jewish value.”
The ADL also claimed that “JVP consistently co-sponsors rallies to oppose Israeli military policy that are marked by signs and slogans comparing Israel to Nazi Germany, demonizing Jews and voicing support for groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.”
According to the ADL website, JVP “uses its Jewish identity to shield the anti-Israel movement from allegations of anti-Semitism and provide it with a greater degree of legitimacy and credibility.”
BDS
The Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement was founded by Omar Barghouti in 2005 to challenge “international support for Israeli apartheid and settler-colonialism.” BDS is an allegedly “Palestinian-led movement,” although leading BDS activists have admitted [00:01:01] this is not true.
One of the demands of BDS includes [point 3] what is generally known as the “right of return,” a demand discredited as a way to eliminate Israel. Barghouti said the “right of return” is a means to “end Israel’s existence as a Jewish state.”
Barghouti has said that BDS “aims to turn Israel into a pariah state, as South Africa once was.”
In his activism, Barghouti has also said [00:05:55] regarding Israel: “Definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No…rational Palestinian, not a sellout Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
The movement has been linked to numerous terrorist organizations and received a public endorsement from Hamas in 2017.
BDS initiatives include calling on institutions and individuals to divest from Israeli-affiliated companies, promoting academic and cultural boycotts of Israel, and organizing anti-Israel rallies, protests and campaigns.
The movement’s most notable achievement has been the infiltration of university campuses through lobbying for “BDS resolutions.” In these cases, student governments and student groups, backed by their own anti-Israel members and affiliates, have proposed resolutions on some form of boycott of, or divestment from, Israel and Israeli-affiliated entities.
Boycott resolutions, although non-binding, have been passed by student governments on numerous North American campuses.
BDS activity is often aggressive and disruptive. It has been noted that universities that pass BDS resolutions see a marked increase in anti-Semitic incidents on campus. On one campus, when the student government debated a BDS resolution, reports emerged of violent threats against those opposing it.
