     It also means that when a right-wing Jewish group such as the ZOA chooses to overlook Bannon’s well-documented links to anti-Semitic white nationalists, it puts itself on a moral par with J.V.P. Bannon is the man who expressly called Breitbart News “the platform for the alt-right,” knowing full-well the toxic range of opinion encompassed by the term.

   • 2019 July 3, Jess Schwalb, “Red Line Rebellion”, in Jewish Currents‎:

     Very few Palestinian student groups—or Palestinian people, for that matter—meet Hillel’s standards to co-host an event or to appear as a speaker; even Jewish groups like Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) are disallowed due to their support for BDS. […] In recent years, Hillel chapters have also come under fire for withdrawing support from or further marginalizing queer Jewish student groups that participate in events co-sponsored by JVP, and for banning legendary civil rights activist Dorothy Zellner from speaking at campus chapters after she discussed her commitment to Palestinian human rights work in a speech at Harvard’s Hillel.
