Alice Walker is no stranger to anti-Semitism. Back in 2013, the ADL said Walker “has taken her extreme and hostile views to a shocking new level” in her latest book "The Cushion in the Road."

Arabs, Jews, Muslims, Europeans and Americans are well-represented.

Egypt closes Rafah border crossing, but no outrage from the defenders of Gaza. On the other hand, Hamas and Fatah are busy insulting each other.

"Donor Fraud" is when money is raised from Jewish donors on the pretext that it will be used to support the Jewish community, and instead some of that money is used to actively promote those who viciously attack Israel.

USA Today posts Boycott Israel press release as a "news" article. Lies about Israel are reprinted as if true, assisting in the effort to convince US singer Alicia Keys to boycott Israel.

Pro-Israel groups are now turning to the UJA-Federation and asking that it stop providing funds to organizations which use those funds to promote virulently anti-Israel activists. If not, a "Close Your Wallet" campaign will begin this summer.

Police arrived when a confrontation between a screaming protester and a Walker supporter threatened to erupt into physical conflict.

"We can use our wallets to punish as well as to reward. If we can close it to attacks on the Jewish state, we can also open it in friendship," Abramson said about showing appreciation to Keys for performing in Israel despite pressure to withdraw.

Richard Allen of JCC Watch said, "There has been a pattern - first with [BDS activist] Roger Waters and now with Alice Walker. All of our efforts to speak with the 92nd Street Y administrators have been met with closed doors, closed ears and closed minds."

In addition to lots of other anti-Israel activity, Alice Walker was front and center with Roger Waters as the two of them attempted to block Carnegie Hall from hosting the Israeli Philharmonic in October, 2012. Now Alice Walker is scheduled to appear at the 92nd Street Y on Thursday, May 30.
