This week, students at DePaul University are being asked to get involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and vote on a non-binding resolution that asks the university to divest from companies that do business in the Jewish State. But for some Jewish students on the Lincoln Park, Chicago campus, the campaign behind the proposed measure has created an atmosphere of intimidation, not free speech.

Rachel (last name withheld), a sophomore at DePaul, explained that the “DePaul Divest” campaign, begun two months ago, has transformed this campus from one that used to be “safe and community-giving.” “This entire campaign and entire sit-in going on in the SAC (Schmitt Academic Center) is totally unsafe for Jewish students and I have had a lot of Jewish students text me and call me today and tell me they are not comfortable walking through that part of our campus, which is really disheartening.”

Rachel added, “About two months ago when SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine) started the ‘DePaul Divest’ campaign, I no longer felt safe on this campus and I no longer felt I could be a proud Jewish student.” During a Tuesday afternoon public forum on campus about the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign, freshmen student Ally (last name withheld) told a pro-Israel panel that as a Jewish student, she feels intimidated on the Lincoln Park campus. (Note: SJP did not respond to an invitation to participate according to moderator Professor Patrick Callahan.) When asked if she feels as safe as the other students on campus, Ally said, “I do kind of feel as a Jewish student that I am being targeted on campus. I feel that a lot of questions are being directed to me and I am constantly on the defensive on campus,” she explained.

Too bad for the Jewish contingent if they feel threatened. On the other hand if they were muslim or gay—then obama would not only comment, he would send in holder to prosecute a hate crime.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’d like to apologize to them on behalf of the Catholic Church.

[defconw]

Ain’t diversity grand?

[C19fan]

Another shameful CINO university.

[Don Corleone]

A once great university reduced to a dung heap through political correctness.

Are these Catholic colleges or madrases?
“First they came for the jews….” but the Catholics will certainly have their turn later.

[LeonardFMason]

Just keep voting for liberal, progressive, Democrats like Jews do and you sleep with flea ridden dogs.

[Slambat]

Hay Rachel, of all people you and the rest of the jews
should know to start packing heat with the first sign
of persecution which is this bullying.

If it’s a gun free campus then you will have to decide
which martyr to be. A raped and beaten to death martyr or
an alive and in good health but in jail (If not killed by
the cops) martyr. Good luck.

In the 1930’s 400 members of the German American Bund held a pro-Nazi rally at Madison Square Gardens.
Meyer Lanky and about 15 of his associates walking in swinging baseball bats.
The rally was immediately halted.

When basketball and minority interests began to dominate DePaul’s main concerns is when the university began to sink exponentially.

To the 80% of Jews who vote Democrat, Ha Ha you are getting what you voted for and what you deserve.

“Shocking events have occurred at Vassar College over the past few weeks, ranging from BDS supporters violently shouting down opponents and posting actual neo-Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda images to their social media accounts. A hostile takeover of the Student Government agenda at the University of Michigan last April included BDS supporters shouting racial epithets at student senators.”

And virtually none of this is reported in the MSM, or is only reported as an afterthought. Imagine the outrage, though, if similar tactics were directed at gays or Muslims.

[muir_redwoods]

If any and all opposition to Obama must be based in racism, mustn’t any and all opposition to Israel be based in antisemitism?

[PATRIOT1876]

*When leftism joins forces with the ‘religion of peace’ what else can be expected?*

This time around will the Socialists be passing out Star of David armbands along with armbands that have Crosses on them?

The Left hates both groups that worship the God who created the universe. Hitler was coming after the Christians next, however the war got in his way.

[informavoracious]

Jews voted for it. I guess you like being enslaved and martyred. And they won’t differentiate between “secular” Jews and “religious” Jews. Wake up.

[faithhopecharity]

Too bad, Jews. America is being turned into the Fourth Reich, and you are going to get the same treatment here you got in Europe a few years ago.
The LslamoNazis are gonna destroy you.
And all the believing Christians

Bye-bye.
