Antisemitism on the left? Who’d have thunk?
Outside of Yeshiva U. and Brandeis, NYU has one of the highest proportion of Jewish students of any university in America.

Her weekly schedule includes a full set of classes, an on-campus job and seven to nine club meetings; she’s a student senator-at-large, a member of the NYU Democratic Socialists of America, the co-founder of Jewish Voice for Peace, a member of SLAM and of Students for Justice in Palestine, editorial co-director for the NYU Politics Society and an occasional reporter for WNYU — not to mention an attendee of the various protests that come together sporadically during the semester.
...Although the Bronfman Center — NYU’s primary Jewish institution — did not allow JVP a place to exist due to differing political beliefs, Asaf was not discouraged from activism in this field. She cites religion as one of the most important reasons why she does what she does, exemplified by the Star of David that she wears around her neck every day.
“Judaism has such a beautiful history of being radical and justice-oriented,” she said.
Asaf said it’s that very notion that motivates her to stand against the dominating ideology within the Jewish community of being pro-Israel...
Bad optics and timing. This is not the time for being anti-semantic. I’m surprised the university even allowed this ..... oh wait it’s in New York.
The anti-Semite liberals are at it again. it’s only a short step from hate Israel to shoot up a synagogue.
Oh, how thoughtful of them. Keeping it private in light of the synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh.Seriously why are the Jew hating BDS-holes and their fellow travelers in anQUEEFa and BLM such mortal enemies with the neonazis? They got more in common than they themselves realize.
