Stanford Senate debates whether 'Jews control banks and media'
inn ^ | 4/6/16 | Tova Dvorin

Stereotypes asserting Jews "control the banks and the media" do not constitute anti-Semitism, a member of the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) Senate claimed this week.

During a hearing on renewing a resolution banning anti-Semitism, Stanford senior Gabriel Knight insisted that a clause defining negative Jewish stereotypes is "irresponsibly foraying into another politically contentious conversation."

"Questioning these potential power dynamics, I think, is not anti-semitism," he said. "I think it’s a very valid discussion."

He also maintained that the bill should include “some language to acknowledge Palestinians’ rights to self-determination."

Knight backtracked twenty minutes later, the Stanford Review reported Tuesday, apologizing as "the Jewish community could be offended by that." Two fellow Senators, however - named as Elliot Kaufman and Matthew Wigler - have called for Knight to step down after making the remarks.

Waiting for the debate on whether Pinkos and perverts dominate the “news” and “entertainment” businesses.

Does the debate have to be conducted in German?

I don’t know about banking, but it is a fact that the Jews and gays have media locked up.

I am henceforth referring to members of the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) as “ASSUles”.

Perhaps the Star of David should be placed on all windows of Jewish places of business.

Ironically, the Jews have lost control of the bagel industry.

If this champion college debate team was arguing the “pro” side, it’s all over.

Why don’t they question whether the TERRORISTS control it, since clearly Islam is the only acceptable religion in government and media

Oh my. I love that school. I guess I love it theoretically only.

Why not go over the blood libel too? Don’t you want to know if we make our matzah with gentile baby blood?

Heavy sigh.

The university itself is the most discriminatory of institutions regardless how one cuts its “competitiveness”.

But then Dickie, Janey and Dubious wouldn’t have their platform to lord their superior “intelligence” over us little people, including those who are no longer there.

Thanks! I posted a couple things in this already!

Isn’t it fun how the very same college liberal who like to accuse conservatives of being Hitler are the ones who actually trying to bring back Hitler’s sick ideology?
