You're joking right? You can't believe how many Jewish speakers voices have been silenced in the last 6 months or you haven't been paying attention at all. Look up Jamie Raskin just as a starting point who wasn't even speaking as a Jew, but as a member of Congress. Imagine your outrage! Just imagine it! But this post is already going in the college section. |
lol she minored in Genocide Studies at….The Shoah Foundation at USC. This is why you don’t hear the usual mob going after her. They had the USC security officer cook up some half-baked “threat” excuse. |
"Security?" Do you mean the police? |
I have a student at USC and a I am glad that she is not being allowed to speak. This is neither the time or place to politicize a speech that is meant to be a celebration of 4 years of hard work by ALL the students. The pro-Palestinian protests are all over the place and there are many forums in which to make your voice heard. Just the other day, roads were blocked to O'Hare and the Golden Gate bridge. Columbia University has on-going protests. Or you can just take your sentiments where they belong and vote for people who share your common views.
Let's no kid ourselves here that this would not make Jewish students uncomfortable. Can't they all just be students for a day and celebrate their common achievements or do we need to continue down this road where everything is a political sh!!!tshow? |

The presence of a Muslim woman makes Jewish students uncomfortable? That’s literally what you’re saying, as she had not even written her remarks yet. You’ve jumped to so many conclusions on her based on what? Her ethnicity and religion. Do you want to go down this road? We do no favors for our kids when we try to keep them in a bubble of likeminded sycophants. I actually would give this woman the benefit of the doubt that she would give a speech that is uplifting and uniting, as she has promised. -Father of Jewish children |
Dear Father of Jewish Children When a student of this caliber has a link on a social media site calling for the destruction of Israel, I have jumped to no conclusions. Over 200,000 people signed a petition calling for her to be removed. You may have all the free speech you want and you may expose your children to as many hateful messages as you would like, but Jewish students are being harrassed and bullied on a daily basis at these schools and made to feel unsafe. It has absolutely happened at USC and my daughter has seen it first hand. Have you forgotten the images of students banging on the door at a college trying to get inside a room that Jewish students were held up in? This is not meant to shield them but to provide them ONE DAY, a respectful environment in which to celebrate their accomplishments. They see harrassment every day. Have you not seen the congressional hearings wth these so called presidents that finally admitted that anti-semitism absolutely has been very present on their campuses? I have no ill will toward this young woman, but free speech has consequences and unfortunately she shared an inciteful link and that message matters. Signed a Catholic Mom I am not going to respond anymore - I said what I said. |
This is such a bullsh#t reply. The Pro Israel crowd has oppressed and targeted individuals in an organized assault on free speech and American values. The only Jews who are not allowed to speak are the ones who tried to speak out against Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. Also take a look at Claudine Gay. Someone who never had a hint of antisemitism is all of her work was targeted by you people, removed from her job as an example to others. At the same time Bill Ackman crowd openly pushed to double Jew student percentage at every Ivy. Calling it antisemitism that Penn was not at 35%. Show me one pro Israeli voice was treat the same way as this girl or anyone who spoke out against Israel. |
That was perfect. |
Yes let her go on more tv channels and have her minute of fame. When it all dies down good luck getting the jobs and scholarship opportunities leading to more wealth. Nobody wants a rabble rouser working for them as Google has proved. She can join some far fringe activist outfits but twenty years from now she will be complaining how her peers can afford the trappings of wealth and she will be forgotten. |
Wonderful response. |
No. I meant campus security. |
The tv shows giving her a platform is perfect. Now she can’t even scrub her media presence identifying her as controversial even if she tried. |
I thought this occurred at the Dean's privately owned residence-so off campus? Why would campus security respond somewhere off campus? |
Yes, I hope she enjoys being unemployable. |
