In honor of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, JVP aims to "get loud" about its criticism of Israel, support for BDS and "commitment to the struggle for Palestinian freedom."On the toolkit sign-up page, JVP offers advice on how one can "resist" this Hanukkah. This includes turning one's dreidels into BDS dreidels, singing Hanukkah songs that are critical of Israel, and criticizing Israel while making latkes, and that is before one has access to the toolkit.Referencing the Hanukkah story, in which a jug of oil meant for one day lasts for eight days, the organization writes "Trump thinks our resistance will only last one day – but we know it will last eight days, and then as long as it takes until we win.""This toolkit includes resources for rekindling resistance & defying Trump at your Chanukah party!," JVP wrote in the toolkit.In addition to suggesting activities one can do at home, JVP is trying to get a social media campaign off the ground using the hashtags: #RekindleResistance, #ChanukahAgainstTrump and #LatkesAgainstTrump.The toolkit includes a lyrics sheet, instructions on how to make a BDS dreidel, resistance coloring pages, postcards to send to elected officials, a social media guide with suggested tweets and BDS slogans to decorate sufganiyot.One such song, which is to the tune of Hanukkah Oh, Hanukkah says, "Chanukah, Oh, Chanukah, No executive order, Let's all light the people’s menorah, Safety for all people, Palestinians and Jews, We will keep fighting for all not the few."Another song, which is to be sung to the tune of "I Have a little Dreidel," says, "I have a little boycott, I made it with a movement and when it’s or-ga-ni-ized, we’ll end a-par-theid. Oh boycott boycott boycott, Resist Resist Resist, Boycott Boycott Boycott, Resist Resist Resist."In addition to the re-worked versions, JVP included a link to more classic Hanukkah songs.A "resistance" coloring page included in the toolkit depicts a "A Woman Hitting a Neo-Nazi With Her Handbag" and says "Be the woman hitting a Nazi with a handbag you want to see in the world," and another says "Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic."This Chanukah, We #RekindleResistance and Defy Trump! Sign up here, commit to doing something - anything! - to show your resistance this Chanukah. We'll send you a toolkit with resources ✡️https://t.co/4OnGvXu27t
