Opinion: Nothing has prepared me for the antisemitism I see on college campuses now
LA Times via MSN ^ | 10/29/2023 | Erwin Chemerinsky

Posted on 10/30/2023 4:09:12 PM PDT by Michael.SF.

I was stunned when students across the country, including mine, immediately celebrated the Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7. Students for Justice in Palestine called the terror attack a “historic win” for the “Palestinian resistance.” A Columbia professor called the Hamas massacre “awesome” and a “stunning victory.” A Yale professor tweeted, “It’s been such an extraordinary day!” while calling Israel a “murderous, genocidal settler state.” A Chicago art professor posted a note reading, “Israelis are pigs. Savages. Very very bad people. Irredeemable excrement…. May they all rot in hell.” A UC Davis professor tweeted, “Zionist journalists … have houses w addresses, kids in school,” adding “they can fear their bosses, but they should fear us more.” There are, sadly, countless other examples.

It is a very difficult time on campuses across the country. Many of our students and faculty members have family and friends in Israel or in Gaza. Many care deeply about the suffering we are seeing, and yet there is no bridge between those who seek the elimination of Israel and those who believe it is essential to have a Jewish state. I hope there will be a time when campus officials can find ways to bring their communities together. But it is not realistic now. This makes it all the more important that they show moral leadership and speak out against the antisemitism that is rampant now, as they would condemn all other forms of racism and hate on campus.

Chemerinsky is the dean of the Berkely Law school. He was short listed for SCOTUS during the Obama years and is far left. A relative (far right and an attorney) knows him, having worked with him at UC Irvine. He describes him as being: "a lefty, but fair and a reasonable man".

What is occurring should not have surprised him, as we all know the left has long been anti-semitic.

Looks like Chemerinsky has had a wake up call.

This is the result of ignoring what Muslims tell us.

The correct spelling of his first name is: Erwin. Missed the typo before posting.

It’s shocking to me as well, frankly.

The breadth and the scope of it.

The world will turn against Israel and the Jews in the Last Days.

First will come Satan’s Antichrist and False Prophet with 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’.

In the middle of those 7 years, the Antichrist will break the deal and then shall be Great Tribulation such as never was.

The Time of Jacob’s Trouble.

Jeremiah 30:7
King James Version

7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

We have been minimizing Muslims for so long. I have always said it is disrespectful and dangerous and bit bigoted to say that a group of people don’t really think the way they have been telling us AND SHOWING US for decades. We let this happen and we knew it. This author still falls in that trap of hoping and wishing there can be peace. THERE WILL NEVER BE PEACE UNTIL THEY ARE GONE.

As I said to someone earlier, I see many Leftists who appear to be just powering thru it all, I doubt this will have much effect.

“I...believe that there must be a two-state solution.” But...some of the loudest voices are...calling for an end to Israel.”

Sounds like he’s still an IDIOT. As a Two-State ‘Solution’ will enable Hamas to buy top-of-the-line weapons with endless financing from other Arab countries, and they will EASILY wipe Israel off the map, which has been and remains their express goal.

We imported our enemies and sent them to our colleges and for what reason? To plant the seeds of Islam and antisemitism? Now our colleges are chock full of racist bigots who hate Jews and also hate America.

What stupid liberals ever thought this would be a good idea?
Sometimes a little bit of patriotic xenophobia can be a really valuable thing.

Well sir, they are indoctrinated with this attitude in American schools and in institutions that you are a part of.

How can he be shocked? Is he living under a rock?
