Jews, tell your temple to speak out: Not in our name!

[Anonymous]

Trump's ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, without accusing him of any crime whatsoever, just for speaking up for Palestine.
It is reported that the government won't tell his wife where he is.

Trump cruelly signed his tweet with "Shalom", insinuating that he his operating on behalf Israeli government or American Jews.

Tell your temple to speak out on behalf of the Jewish community, that we reject this horrific behavior.

Not in our name!

Insane! Didn't he say that free speech is back during the SOTU address?

I don’t think temples usually “speak out” in this way.

Mahmoud grew up in a Palestinian refugee camp in Syria.
There is no way that any Jewish congregation will do anything. You need to be Jewish

every Jew I know is condemning this... my social media feed is filled with similar concerns

temples have to be guarded in their politics to maintain tax status

Free speech for me, but not for thee.

Apparently ICE threatened to arrest his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.

It's horrific that Trump foments divisions like this.

The chair of the Israel relations committee at my synagogue has been posting all over social media about how he opposes this arrest, fwiw.

The loudest voices I hear in my world speaking out against this are Jewish voices. Just yesterday, The Forward published an article that listed many of the groups that have pushed back against this situation. https://forward.com/fast-forward/703045/a-gro...moud-khalils-arrest/

Trump followed up with vicious anti-Jewish attack, calling Schumer "not Jewish".

I'm still not sure why this is in the religion forum and not the politics forum?
