Training for #NYPD Officers Categorized the Keffiyeh and Watermelon as Antisemitic Symbols (Jewish Currents, 2025-04-24)

https://jewishcurrents.org/training-nypd-keffiyeh-watermelon-antisemitism-israel-palestine
------

>> a training on combating antisemitism [led by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM) with George Washington University’s Program on Extremism (POE)] ... [alleged] to teach the police “how to recognize and address antisemitism in its many contemporary forms”... ” But the presentation itself, ... was in large part concerned with pro-Palestine activism, casting the Palestine solidarity movement as a significant threat to Jewish safety ... The training, which focused heavily on student protesters, repeatedly conflated antisemitism with anti-Zionism. It categorized campus demonstrators as extremists tied to Hamas, and branded as antisemitic Palestinian symbols like the watermelon and the keffiyeh, as well as phrases such as “settler colonialism” and “all eyes on Rafah.”
