To the Antisemites Who Sit Next to Me at School

To the Antisemites Who Sit Next to Me at School My NYU classmates talk about the 'Zionist grip on the media' and tweet 'death to Israel.'

To my law school classmate who tweeted, “my love language is marg bar [death to] Israel”: thank you.

To the Students for Justice in Palestine, who explained: “Zionism is, by design, an ideology that promotes violence against, and hatred and delegitimization of Palestinians. Embedded in the Zionist supremacy narrative is the orientalist, Islamophobic idea that Azkenazi [sic] Jewish whiteness is fundamentally superior to Palestinian lives, culture, and identity”: thank you.

To the dozen NYU student groups that signed on to their statement defending terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians because “People living under occupation have a right to resist their violent occupation,” and bemoaned the “Zionist grip on the media”: thank you.

To the the Black Allied Law Students Association, Middle Eastern Law Students Association, National Lawyers Guild, Law Students for Economic Justice, Muslim Law Students Association, The Coalition on Law & Representation, and Disability Allied Law Students Association that affirmed: “Palestinians are not obligated to engage in racialized ‘nonviolence’ theory”: thank you.

To the first-year law student who said, “Quiet, you baby,” when a Jewish student pleaded for a bit of sympathy: thank you.

To the 3L who mocked her Jewish classmates when they begged for reassurance that their supposed friends would condemn firing an AR-15 at unarmed men, women, and children, quipping “you don’t condemn an earthquake or a lethal outbreak of flu”: thank you.

To my classmates who lecture their Jewish classmates that “Zionism is a racist, imperialist, white supremacist ideology, not a religious movement,” and those others who insist that Israelis’ sense of victimhood is “delusional” because Israel “colonized Palestinian land”: I thank you.

All of you have done more than I ever could to convince my fellow Jews that the left doesn’t just have a Corbyn problem or a Tlaib problem or a Farrakhan problem. It has a big, fat Jew-hatred problem right in its ideological core. This time it happened to rear its head at one of the best law schools in the country. One where the name Steinhardt adorns the buildings and about a quarter of the students are Jews. Yes, even here. Especially here.

Thank you for starting one of those “courageous conversations” we’re always supposed to have. This one not about gender or systemic racism or climate change, but about the burning debate over whether it is fantastic or merely acceptable that innocent Jews are being murdered in Israel.

The map of Israel vs the anti-Israel Muslim world resembles, or is not dis-similar in some ways, to the land area and population disparity between another modern ongoing conflict.

The 22.5 Million km 2, Moscow led CIS, which has a large muslim population, and also has by far the worlds largest nuclear weapons stockpile *VS Ukraine (233,031 km 2), one of Europe’s most Jewish friendly nations.

And unlike Israel, Ukraine doesn’t have nuclear weapons, and advanced missile production (as it gave them up in exchange for an agreement for US defense, and for Russia’s promise not to invade them again - UA having been invaded at least 6 times prior).

Thanks for pointing out that Bari Weiss herself did write this - rather Tal Fortgang. Weiss herself is still in the process of learning and waking up.

Probably, create your own problems then whine about it.

I guess I am one of the naive ones. I wouldn't know a 'Jew' as they call them. (I assume they are called that because they are 'Jewish' religion). I wouldn't know one any more than I would know a Catholic or Mormon or Baptist. Plus when I meet folks I don't care what religion they are as I am agnostic myself.

This historical religious hatred between religions and cultures has caused more death and destruction that is hard to think anything but, those poor people.

I'll never understand it, don't want to understand it. What humans do to each other for no valid reasons I will just continue to shake my head and think, "what a bunch of morons".

No one here cares whether you are gnostic or not but in a Muslim society you are either Muslim, enslaved or dead because they do care.

Palestine didn’t exist until Arafat created it as an Anti-Isreal state.
The people occupying and calling themselves palestinians were the ‘gypsies of the ME and nobody wanted them.

That is for sure. In my heart of hearts I feel a great kinship with Jews and nothing at all for Muslims.

Because the bible is real, and Satan is real.

Liberals, and even liberal Jews, can hold these views because they don't equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.

Being against Zionism is the same urge as those who are against all forms of nationalism and instead favor globalism.

Yes, stupid anti-Zionists will also be anti-Semitic and spout all manner of Jew hatred, but the movement leaders are focused on creating a globohomo world where we all live together in peace and harmony.

The tactic that should be used is not to equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism, but to do as the left does and claim that anti-Zionists are just "dog whistling" to anti-Semites, and are just nazis in suits pretending to be upstanding members of the international community.

If one believes the words of Jesus Christ, then it’s obvious neither jew nor muslim will enter Heaven. Watching them violently attack each other comes as no surprise.

Read John 8:44 (and its prophesy in Psalm 106:40) to get a full understanding of Jesus’ frustration, condemnation, and final rejection of the jewish people.

Sometimes it’s wrong to despise the jews, and other times it is right.

In this video, we see jews physically attack the Palestinians in the middle of a funeral procession. The casket is nearly dropped during the attack:

It's obvious you know nothing of Bible context. You make the most absurd conclusions based on your prejudices. Jesus was born as a Jew (the same for His Disciples), lived as a Jew and followed the Law in its entirety.
I leave the Muslims for God to judge..

Again, if you actually read the Bible, you would know better.

What does John 14:6 say?

“People living under occupation have a right to resist their violent occupation,”

Sounds like something we need to remind our elected officials about on a regular basis.

As a side note it's ok by me if Israel pushed the Palestinians into the sea.

I don’t if you’re a troll or ignorant. You can’t make a logical argument for whatever demented ideas you hold. So, let’s agree to disagree and go our separate ways.
