Nothing to do with being Jewish. Many evangelical Christians are Zionists, and many Jews are anti-Zionists. Just treat everyone as an individual, not a member of an ethnic or religious group.

He is head of the parents association at Duke. One child attends Duke and the other graduated, so it is a logical choice.

He is humorous and didn’t make any political statements so he is a fantastic choice.

After opening with a few jokes, Seinfeld shared his "three real keys to life," which boiled down to:
Work hard.
Pay attention.
Fall in love.
"Whatever you're doing, I don't care if it's your job, your hobby, a relationship, getting a reservation at M Sushi," he said. "Make an effort. Just pure, stupid, no-real-idea-what-I'm-doing-here effort. Effort always yields a positive value, even if the outcome of the effort is absolute failure of the desired result. This is a rule of life. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things."

I am not on any side but the pro-Palestine tactic of blocking a highways to places like Disney world or other freeways. Or protesting someone saying something not political is absolutely losing them support. I used to be neutral and now have an absolutely negative view toward Palestine protestors.

Are you oblivious to the fact that his wife donated $500K to the terrorist group that is under state and federal investigation for hate crimes after descending on UCLA and assaulting students, faculty and staff, and others protesting the war? Did you miss that part of what’s going on in the world?

I love Jerry, but he’s radioactive now and for the foreseeable future.

A “terrorist group?” You mean one of the few groups protecting our Jewish students from the extremist Islamists that are infesting our college campuses.

The Nazis considered those that hid Jews in their basements to be terrorists as well. Nowadays we call them heroes.

You consider was those cowardly animals did at UCLA heroic, wearing hoods and masks while they attacked students, faculty, staff and other protesters? Striking them, kicking them, spitting in their faces and calling them the N word, among other choice insults and threats? As they battered them with fence sections, metal poles, baseball bats, and blocks of concrete?

If so, that just means you’re a terrorist sympathizer. Hardly surprising …

Well, maybe they would not have to defend themselves if our police would do the right thing and start actually defending Jewish students, not just this catch and release bullshit against radical Islamist extremists pushing for the genocide of the Jewish people. Start using live ammunition against these protesters and see how quickly these monsters decide Hamas isn’t the good guys in this conflict.

Actually, before the attack, UCLA faculty were warning about harassment of people at the encampment, asking the university to protect the pro-Palestinian protesters from attacks.

The Post’s examination also found that faculty had raised concerns for days about harassment of pro-Palestinian activists and physical violence directed at people in the protest encampment

At 2:35 p.m., Danielle Carr, an assistant professor at UCLA’s Institute for Society and Genetics, wrote an email seeking to sound an alarm about “truly unbelievable” aggression against protesters during the pro-Israeli counterprotest two days earlier. “I know that many faculty are wondering what the administration plans to do to protect our students,” Carr wrote to an office responsible for handling complaints of sexual violence and harassment.

Buuuuutttt a drama student already notorious on campus for being an agitator after just his freshman year really wanted to walk directly through the protest (even though that path was one of four to the building he was arguing he needed to get to, and even though he actually had no class in that building), said that one of the protesters looked at him funny! Can someone explain to me why the national guard wasn’t called in with Apache gunshots to strafe the protest encampment?! Thus student’s life was at stake if he didn’t get to walk through the protest!

Not going to bother mocking the fake video of the girl on the ground that was propagated to try to dupe people into thinking the protesters had been violent.

All in all, a typical Zionist operation that the Keystone Kops would have been proud of.

/s

And there it is. The innocent Jewish student being incessantly threatened by violent extremist Islamists calling for genocide against him and his people is clearly just a “troublemaker,” not a deeply traumatized kid who paid tens of thousands of dollars to attend a school he thought was safe.

Nope. Those pesky Jewish “troublemakers,” why don’t they just shut up and led the radical Islamists who have infiltrated our society just brutally murder them, then we can all be happy living in Hamas’ idyllic society. We will be just as happy as the Palestinians living in Gaza soon!

You really cheapen your victimhood narrative with this dishonest nonsense. It's a blatant lie to accuse kids protesting for the rights of Palestinians of being "violent extremist Islamists." That is so obviously untrue. It's even more untrue that they want to genocide or "brutally murder" anyone. You detract from your position with this hypocritical, histrionic, and disingenuous babble.

The hypocrisy and illogic of this post beggars belief. Pro-Israel counter-protestor attacked peaceful pro-Palestinian protestors at UCLA and used chemical weapons against them at Columbia University. Do you think live ammunition should have been used against pro-Israel protestors? Be careful what you are advocating for.

Are Jews going to have to start walking around with some kind of badge identifying if they're Zionists or not? You know, so "progressives" know whether they're good Jews or bad Jews?

Hopefully the school does the right thing and strips them of their degree(s). Monsters destroying this proud day for so many Jewish students, especially when the school went out of their way to find a proud, pro-Israel Jew to speak at their commencement.

Proud Jewish students were among those who walked out. And, no, we don’t strip people of their degrees for exercising their First Amendment rights because this isn’t Nazi Germany. Kudos to the students who had the courage of their convictions and stood up against genocidal racism and injustice.

Racism? This is a geopolitical matter. One self described group to overthrow a country.

Israel is a racist country, and the current Israeli government is genocidal and sees Palestinians as subhuman. Of course, that is racist. And Palestinians have the right to reclaim the land stolen from them during the Nakba.

You could say the same things about the Palestinians and their leaders. The Palestinians don't want peace. They want vengeance. Israel won the land through conquest. The Arabs fought multiple wars and lost. Most people understand that losing wars leads to unwanted consequences. The Palestinians are welcome to continue prosecuting the war, but it may lead to outcomes they don't want.

Winning land via conquest is not a thing anymore. East Jerusalem, Golan Heights, Gaza, and the West Bank are not internationally recognized as a part of Israel.

Really? Somebody tell Russia.

They've been told. That's the parts of Ukraine they are trying to claim have not been internationally recognized.

[Anonymous]

Putin has an ICC warrant against him.

Beofreosmeone starts in on how the USA is built in indigenous land- the USA committed genocide and the way this country was founded was shameful and disgusting. So if Israel is like USA is is also a genocidal, racist, shameful country b/c the past of the USA is all of those things.

Okay then, what are they chanting? What is their end goal?

I will give a hint, they are not calling for Israel to remove Hamas from control in Gaza quickly so the Palestinians can be freed from the corrupt, violent, and tyrannical government who has spent decades putting all their effort into destroying Israel rather then bettering Gaza and the lives of its residents, and whose brutal and genocidal actions on 10/7 directly led to the current predicament.

No, they are calling for the complete dissolution of Israel and the genocide of the Israeli and Jewish people. All you have to do is listen to what they are saying - “From the river to the Sea, Palestine will be free,” “Intifada now/globalize the Intifada” and what flags and signs they carry (like the hang glider terrorists). These aren’t peace protesters, they are actively protesting for the destruction of Israel, and the genocide of the Jewish people.

This has been very clearly documented. https://www.theatlantic.com/books/archive/2024/05/pro-palestinian-protests-columbia-chants/678321/

I don’t support ethnostate, whether Christian, Jewish, or Muslim. At least not enforced ethnostates (I.e. obviously there may be states that are primarily, and even mostly, made up with one religion/culture/ethnicity because of their history, but due not actively promote this lack of diversity.

Which is good, because Israel is not an ethnostate. Israel is a multi-cultural country, with middle eastern Jews whose families can trace their ancestry back to ancient times, European (and American) Jews who returned to Israel following hundreds of years in exile, to Christians, to MuslimPalestinians.

In fact, there are almost 2 million Palestinians who live in Israel proper, which is 20% of the populations. Source: https://minorityrights.org/communities/palestinians/#:~:text=Approximately%201.8%20million%20Palestinians%20form%20around%2020.8%20per%20cent%20of%20Israel's%20population.

Muslim Palestinians have managed to serve in Israel’s legislature . In fact, for essentially Israel’s entire history, Palestinians have consistently been allowed to serve in the Knesset, and have done just that. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Arab_members_of_the_Knesset.

Muslim Palestinians also serve in the IDF, even to this day. Many for the exact same reasons Jewish Israelis join the military: to improve their lives, protect their families, and protect their homeland. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/10/28/arabs-bedouin-idf-muslim-hamas-palestinians-jews-army/

You will notice that all the people who care so deeply about the “innocent Palestinians” don’t bring these Israeli Palestinians up. Because it completely contradicts their narrative. Because these are Palestinians who (or whose family) decided that instead of dedicating their lives to the destruction of the Israeli state and the death of all Jews, they would sit down, and work with the Israeli State to build a nation that both Jewish and Palestinian residents could be proud to call home. And despite what the far-left, pro-Hamas crazies will say, this was a success (for the most part). Certainly not without bumps along the way, but they worked through those, and continue to be well regarded Israeli citizens to this day.

? Absolutely no one said or implied that. Inflammatory. Jerry Seinfeld is know to have “stood with Israel” since the start of its invasion into Gaza. The students who walked out did so not because he is Jewish but because of that vocal and public stance. Israel does not equal Jewish. Saying that Israel is a bad actor in this scenario is not antisemitism.

You mean the Palestinians who managed to survive the Nakba, the forced expulsion, the military rule, the Present Absentee laws, the Arabs that the current government regularly agitates against, the Arabs who aren’t allowed to marry who they want? The Arabs who are regularly reminded this is not their country and this country is not for them?

Okay.

Don’t listen to me then. Read the diary of Arab Israeli lawyer Diana Buttu. Learn how they feel from the source. Not from your wet Zionist dream.
