On Campus, Thou Shalt Not Support Israel

Hatred of Israel, and its close cousin, hatred of Jews, have been commonly held and expressed sentiments on college campuses in the US, Canada, and Europe in recent years.  Anti-Israel speakers are invited to speak, paid handsome fees, and draw large audiences of enthusiastic students, faculty and administrators.  Anti-Zionist groups, often dominated by Arab or Muslim students, proliferate and ally with groups representing other minority groups in an effort to create an intersectionality of interests, where various minority groups all rally in support of any of the causes any of the individual identity groups support. Groups such as Students for Justice in Palestine and the misnamed Jewish Voices for Peace, regularly taunt and harass pro-Israel students, disrupt meetings and talks by pro-Israel groups, and try to prevent pro-Israel speakers from appearing on campus.

Even at schools with a large percentage of Jewish students, university administrators appear to endorse actions directed at Jewish students or pro-Israel students though they never would allow similar activities directed against other minority groups they care to protect or favor.  Recently, Emory University gave its administrative stamp of approval to the posting of eviction notices by SJP on student dorm rooms (many of them with Jewish residents), meant to scare students and attempt to link the eviction threat to actions taken by Israeli authorities they falsely claim are routine in Israel and the West Bank.  In one of the lamest defenses ever offered for blatantly anti-Semitic activity on a college campus, a high-ranking Emory administrator offered this defense of the school’s approval of the eviction notice posting:

Apparently the ‘bds’ movement isn’t anti-semitic for the all inclusive tolerant left ideology? They’re nothing if not confusing.

The anti-Israel movement is just cleverly disguised anti-Semitism for the most part

This is gone back for centuries and is obviously remembered very clearly with the holocaust and the specific targeting of Jewish people in the 1940s

If you ask me why did jews have been hated and targeted for centuries by losers it’s exactly because of that -they’re jealous of the hard-working Jewish people and their ability to accumulate wealth now

Now fast forward to the 21st-century and the great United States of America and you see that many Jewish people are stupid leftists supporting the very party that hates their guts

But the funny thing is because Jewish people tend to be wealthy and there are some extremely wealthy jewz and of course the Democratic Party still watch their money

Just the demon crap party wants it both ways

Methinks this . along with their out rigt support of Muslims, who have hated jews for 14th centuries cannot possibly exist forever

I’d give it a few more election cycles as the demon crap party continues to go off the charts to the left
