The ADL is strangely silent.
Most universities in Israel have most any degree program available entirely in English and certainly welcome Americans.
Even Jewish people who vote Dem should be thankful for the 2nd Amendment.
I’m not promoting the group, just for information:
“Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of gun rights in the United States and to encourage Americans to understand, uphold, and defend “all of the Bill of Rights for all Citizens.” The group was founded by U.S. Navy veteran Aaron S. Zelman in 1989. It recognizes the Second Amendment as protecting a pre-existing natural law right of individuals to keep and bear arms.”
Jewish vote for President:
2016 Trump (R) 24% //// H.Clinton (D) 71%
2020 Trump (R) 30%//// Biden (D) 68%
Since 1968 overall: 71% Dem //// 26% Rep.

It must be killing the media to mention this. It doesn’t fit The Narrative, unless they can find some White Supremacist Nazis on the Columbia campus to blame. Who seem notably scarce on campus to this un-jaundiced eye...
I find it hard to believe that the NYPD “cannot” guarantee their safety. More like will not.
The semester is almost over and this is a bad time for that kind of action, although if your life is in danger, there’s no point in staying either.
Columbia should offer those students a way to finish their courses online and provide some secure way to take their finals.
Biden’s America.
I respect the rabbi’s concern for human safety but
running away from evil threats is, imho, not a winning strategy.
it is usually (perhaps not always) better to defeat your enemy, not just run away
there are certainly things these students could do and carry to lessen the likelihood of getting hurt on or off campus
You are in danger for wearing clothing that shows you are Jewish or a supporter of Israel at Columbia.
You are not in danger for wearing clothing that identifies you as Arab or a supporter of Gaza’s war against Israel.
It’s past time to get some hard hats together and go to town.
American Krystallnacht is coming.
“The rabbi added: “It is not our job as Jews to ensure our own safety on campus.”
Actually it is your job, Rabbi. The cops exist to write reports and draw chalk outlines around the bodies. Depending on them for your personal safety is stupid.

I would gather together a group-—HIRE a BULLDOG LAWYER-—and SUE COLUMBIA for every penny spent on my education/ housing/ books, etc while there.
MAKE IT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT if NECESSARY.
SUE THEN DOWN TO THE GROUND
