It's almost like the conflict isn't between Jews and antisemites, but between pro apartheid and anti apartheid. I can't imagine why the pro apartheid crowd would want to reframe this as antisemitism. So much respect for the Jewish peace activists that have to put up with this hypocritical BS.
It’s ironic that the same people who have bemoaned liberals for having too thin a skin for dealing with the actually threatening rhetoric of right-wingers are all of a sudden like “Hey, calling attention to Israel killing children makes Jewish students feel unsafe!”
I’m glad they’re talking to students but it’s interesting that the article doesn’t actually interview any Jewish students who have expressed fear or experienced antisemitism within or outside the campus. All we get are assertions by a Jewish student supportive of the protests that all is good.
Right wing lies like the border etc
Great article
Thanks for sharing this!
I cannot help wondering how much of this is being driven by the donors to Columbia's endowment. Money does strange things to moral decision making. www.cnbc.com/2024/04/22/b...
Columbia students set up a tent encampment to protest Israel's bombardment of Gaza.
This really stood out for me, esp that last line. As usual, when the NYPD are summoned in such numbers, there are always additional reasons that have more to do with politics. I have a laundry list of probable reasons that I will withhold because I’m not here to argue with randos in the replies
