Rutgers leaders forced to apologize for statement condemning anti-Semitism
NY Post ^ | 5/28/2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

The chancellor and provost of Rutgers University apologized Thursday for issuing a statement that denounced the recent surge in anti-Semitic attacks because he said it “failed to communicate support for our Palestinian community members.”

The initial statement from Chancellor Christopher Molloy and Provost Francine Conway Wednesday said they were “saddened by and greatly concerned about the sharp rise in hostile sentiments and anti-Semitic violence in the United States.”

The Thursday statement, titled “An Apology,” included the message that “our diversity must be supported by equity, inclusion, antiracism, and the condemnation of all forms of bigotry and hatred, including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.

“As we grow in our personal and institutional understanding, we will take the lesson learned here to heart, and pledge our commitment to doing better,” Molloy and Conway continued. “We will work to regain your trust, and make sure that our communications going forward are much more sensitive and balanced.”

Welcome to the club, you people are on the outside looking in just like us regular people. Why don’t we celebrate by burning a few police cars or buildings occupied by people like us that we are supposed to loath?/Sarcasm off

A will assume the deep-pocket Arab alumni had a discussion with the chancellor to amend his statement.

An apology for not being anti-Jewish enough? Really?

Not surprising.

Hell, our Jewish neighbors vote for an anti-Semite Muslim state house representative because he’s a democrat.

Makes zero sense in more ways than one. You condemn anti-Semitism to condemn anti-Semitism. It has nothing to do with including or excluding anyone else.

Jews better wake the F up. They are coming for them too. Whites and Jews are slated for destruction.

Never could understand the mentality of literally voting for someone who actively seeks your destruction and makes it clear.

Must all statements support Palestinians? Or just statements involving anti-Semitism?

If a statement supports Palestinians, must it include anti-Semitism? Or is the policy asymmetric?
