Singer insists she’s not antisemitic after Cornell concert scrapped: ‘I’m anti-genocide’
R&B singer Kehlani appears to accuse Israel of ‘extermination of an entire people’ as she seeks to push back on criticism over messages that include ‘Long Live the Intifada,’ ‘f— Zionism’. Two people appear briefly in the background of the video. Kehlani said both were Jewish and identified one as her best friend and the other as her engineer. She also cited her work with pro-Palestinian Jewish organizations, including Jewish Voice for Peace, an anti-Zionist Jewish group.
”I don’t hate them because they’re Jewish, it’s just that Jews really are that awful. Besides, some of my best friends are Jewish.”

How a Jewish-American student leader faced down hate to become a global influencer
As anti-Israel protests peaked last year, Tessa Veksler beat a recall vote as UC Santa Barbara student body president. She now features in the top-grossing documentary ‘October 8’
Tessa Veksler vividly remembers the wave of pain and panic she felt sweeping over her when she walked into a room at the University of California, Santa Barbara, in April 2024. She was about to face a recall vote as student government body president. Her ostensible infraction: mourning, on social media, the victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led massacre and defending Israel’s right to exist.
Veksler recalls noticing “how many people showed up because they were passionate about removing me from office.” The 23-year-old also remembers seeing some empty chairs on the side of the room where her supporters had gathered.
Over several hours, she listened to accusations, insults and verbal abuse. When she gave her statement, students shouted, laughed and smirked. She didn’t waver, but there was fear in the back of her mind, she says, recalling thinking, “What if this motion passes? What if I get removed from office? Is this going to be my legacy on campus?”
The recall vote failed narrowly, and Veksler finished her term as president, all the while setting her sights on the future.
“I didn’t want to just survive this. I wanted to thrive,” she says.
She now lives in New York and works for a PR firm while traveling the country as a sought-after public speaker on antisemitism and anti-Zionism. She’s also one of the main interviewees in “October 8,” a documentary about the explosion of antisemitism on college campuses, social media and the streets of America immediately following the Hamas atrocities in southern Israel, in which some 1,200 people were brutally slaughtered and 251 abducted and taken to the Gaza Strip.
Veksler’s journey exemplifies what many Jewish students in the United States have undergone after October 7 and shows how this experience has created a new generation of Jewish leaders, says Jonathan Falk, vice president of the Israel Action and Addressing Antisemitism Program at Hillel International, the largest Jewish student organization in the world.
