Why IfNotNow is the Jewish Black Lives Matter – Peter Beinart – The Forward 04.04.17
I don’t think most older American Jews grasp it yet. This is our Black Lives Matter. It’s the organised American Jewish community’s moral complacency that has helped create IfNotNow. And it’s that complacency that will make it a more and more formidable force in the years to come.

I witnessed JDL beating up peaceful protestors outside AIPAC and trying to burn a Koran – Benjamin Bernard-Herman – Haaretz 05.08.17
They called us Nazis and kapos, attacked us with their flagpoles, and ripped up a Koran, while AIPAC participants came out to cheer them on. Includes video [0:21].

And see: Why Jewish establishment[s] won’t condemn the occupation
