A student leader at Stanford University, was asked by a campus group about how her Jewish faith would impact her actions regarding Israel in the Student Senate, prompting allegations of antisemitism and an Anti-Defamation League inquiry, a campus publication reported.

As part of her campaign for student senate, Molly Horwitz applied for as many student group endorsements as possible, since an endorsement from each group would effectively secure their members’ votes for her candidacy. The Students of Color Coalition (SOCC) endorsement is the most-sought after, due to its large size and vast influence, as well as the fact that it campaigns tirelessly for the candidates it endorses, according to the report.

During her interview with SOCC, Horwitz told The Stanford Review that one of the group’s leaders asked her, “Given your strong Jewish identity, how would you vote on divestment?” The question referred to divesting from Israel, an issue which was put to a vote and approved in the university’s Undergraduate Senate in February. …

Most Jewish Leftists don’t get it yet. The Pro-Islam turn by those in charge of this country allows anti-Semitism to flourish on the college campus. There was a similar incident at UCLA. A Jewish student was the object of discussion before she was appointed to the student council. They were debating her ‘Jewishness’. I wonder if a Muslim student would have these types of problems on the campus these days.

Perhaps the problem is that there are “actions regarding Israel in the Student Senate”

Here’s a suggestion to the kids at college — try learning something before worrying your precious little noggins about grown-ups topics.
