There are plenty of anti-Zionist Jews, despite Zionist attempts to equivalate Judaism, Jewishness, and Zionism. Israel’s use of the Star of David on its flag does a disservice to non-Zionists of faith.

Edit: Also, there are many secular Jewish Zionists, making the Star of David on the flag all the more obfuscatory. Unfortunately it’s a symbol used by 1) an ethnicity 2) a culture 3) a religion and 4) a nation-state.

After the woman, who is sporting makeup to look bruised, speaks dramatically to the camera, a voice yells, "cut," prompting her to toss the fruit aside as canned applause plays.

Sharing the clip on X, radio host Rafael Shimunov, a Jewish activist, criticized the influencer for taking to TikTok "in Arab face to claim Palestinian mothers are faking their deaths."

Earlier this month, the Israeli Foreign Ministry announced that it was seeking to use prominent social media influencers in an advocacy campaign, The Jerusalem Post reported.

"X is committed to serving the public conversation, especially in critical moments like this and understands the importance of addressing any illegal content that may be disseminated through the platform," said Linda Yaccarino, CEO of X.

Martha E. Pollack, Cornell's president, said: "Threats of violence are absolutely intolerable, and we will work to ensure that the person or people who posted them are punished to the full extent of the law."
