(JTA) — An LGBTQ student group at Rice University has cut ties with the school’s Hillel, in the latest instance of backlash from a progressive group against the Jewish campus organization’s support for Israel.
The LGBTQ group, Rice Pride, announced the split last week in a statement on Instagram that said Hillel’s international umbrella group was “not reflective of the values of inclusion upheld by Rice Pride.”
“Rice Pride’s ultimate goal is to provide a safe space for queer students of all backgrounds, and to recognize the intersectionalities between queer identity and race, ethnicity, and religion,” the statement said. The group did not respond to a request for comment and, on Wednesday, made its Instagram account private after drawing criticism from pro-Israel groups.
According to Rice Pride’s statement, Houston Hillel had provided funding for the group’s Queer Resource Center. The two campus groups have co-hosted 12 events since 2016. A Rice Pride leader told the campus newspaper, the Rice Thresher, that no student had said the local Hillel “has made them uncomfortable in any way.”
But in the statement, the group said it opposed guidelines put forward by Hillel International, an umbrella group for campus chapters, that prohibit campus Hillels partnering with or hosting groups that advocate for a boycott of Israel or that deny Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state. It also listed instances of Hillel chapters at other schools opposing pro-Palestinian activism.

Clown world.
In Dim logic, nothing says pro-gay like rooting for the team that throws gays off of buildings.
...”Rice Pride”........is that anything like Rice Crispies...?? I dunno.....how can any group that takes pride [sic] in what is basically perverted behavior be taken seriously...
Exactly.
The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
These people are the dictionary definition of useful idiots. Gays in Arab countries, and in the areas controlled by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, are despised and killed or tortured.
“The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.”
Precisely. There is no way the over-the-top concern about the plight of queer students, or queers in general, has an organic origin. It’s ginned up to create division/destruction.
today’s academia is filled with bigoted anti-Semites!
And I’m sure that the Hillel group is devastated by the LGBTQs cutting ties with them.
Well....... bye!
Someone should inquire about how LGBTQ+ people are treated by the Palestinians.
“Rice University LGBTQ group cuts ties with campus Hillel over support for Israel”
So, if I understand this, the LGBTQ group punishes a group that supports Israel, the only country in the Middle East that doesn’t throw gays off of buildings (or at least imprison them). Is that correct?
Satan is far reaching.
“]In Dim logic, nothing says pro-gay like rooting for the team that throws gays off of buildings.”
Tel Aviv is one of the most pro-LGBQT+ cities in the world. Gaza, West Bank, etc., not so much.

They should just move off campus in protest, that will show those weirdo normals, huh?

When will my fellow American Jews realize that the Left is not their friend at all, and never has been?
I have known this, since I was a child, after listening to my Russian-born grandfather, who told stories about how the Communists took nearly everything that his father had worked for over the course of his lifetime. I later found out that my great grandfather had been murdered by the NKVD, and that this resulted ultimately from them dragging him to prison because he rented out part of his home in order to put food on the table. Note that he was a cancer-stricken old man at the time, and was located in what is now Ukraine, which had only shortly prior to that time finished dealing with a massive famine engineered on purpose by Joseph Stalin.
