The word for this is “antisemitism”:
“We will continue to fight for statehood for DC in the United States and for the liberation of Palestine.”

It’s way worse than “gross” though:
Canceling participation at a DC statehood rally because they would have to share the stage with (liberal) Jewish groups.

They also are clueless about these Jewish groups:
JCPA spent years pushing for the Middle East Partnership for Peace Act, which provides $250 million to expand I-P peacebuilding and coexistence efforts.
RAC and NCJW regularly condemn IDF and settler violence, and support Palestinian statehood.
But go off, guys. https://t.co/Efht3KY1EU

What a clown show:
National Council of Jewish Women funds organizations that connect Palestinian women with legal aid, social services, and help them grow grassroots political power.
But tell me more about how you’re the ones who *really* care about Palestinianshttps://t.co/vJHXyKYCgP https://t.co/puNohiIfSg
