If calling to boycott Jewish charities, organizations, and student groups

[lapucelle]

If calling to boycott Jewish charities, organizations, and student groups that have no affiliation with the Israeli government is not antisemitism, then what is?

Protesting against Jewish institutions is not a valid criticism of the Israeli government, and I think we both know you’re aware of that by now.

3. My daughter is at one of the universities experiencing protests

The Jewish students were not allowed to hold events during the whole month of Ramadan, because it might upset the pro Palestinian students. A peaceful scheduled counter protest , no where near the pro Palestinian protest, was forced to end early for the same reason. Jewish students were not allowed on the quad by the free speech coordinator, they were not carrying signs or flags.

Students were forced to remove posts from their personal social media accounts because they were critical of the protesters. Meanwhile, my daughter posted a video of the students in the counter protest singing and has been doxed, attacked and threatened on social media with no response from the free speech coordinator.

Palestinian students are not the ones being restricted on campus.

5. I'm so sorry.

I can't even imagine how that must feel.

6. Just got off the phone with here

Her experience dealing with what’s happening on campus is causing her political beliefs to change and is feeling the left is abandoning Jewish students. This may cost Biden the election.

7. The more obnoxious these protesters are, the more I want...

the Israelis to finish the job and crush the last holdouts in Rafah. I was never a big pro Israel person either. That all changed when the world found out what a bunch of fucking savages they were dealing with.

9. Democrats are not abandoning Jews. N/T

10. The blame should be on the university.

Biden and Democrats have no control over the university.

The university is imposing restrictions while allowing others not to be restricted.

I would suggest the free speech coordinator needs to be challenged as being antisemitic.

8. Sounds like a list of demands from terrorists. "Do this now, or we will-------------"

Explain to me how it's different.

HILLEL? Seriously? Give me a break.

When USC canceled the main-stage commencement ceremony, Jewish leaders on campus saw an opportunity.

Before about 19,000 graduates walked across stages on Friday to receive their degrees in smaller school satellite ceremonies, USC’s Hillel hosted a graduation event for Jewish students and their families — a moment to gather in unity amid weeks of campus turmoil over Israel-Hamas war protests.

“A lot of people have been trying to take these joyful moments away from us,” said Mark Rayant, 26, who was earning his master’s degree in green technology. “We get to come together as a community in a safe environment, in a healing environment — something the university wasn’t able to provide.”

At USC’s Hillel center, a post-and-beam building next door to the university’s Catholic student center, more than 50 students attended in their black robes and red sashes along with 200 or so family, friends, professors and classmates......

Dave Cohn, executive director of USC Hillel, acknowledged that the year has ended under a “very, very dark cloud.”

“No matter how you view these issues — as a person of Jewish identity or as a person in general — there’s no denying this depleted and depressed the atmosphere,” Cohn said.
