As someone who married into the tribe, I can honestly say I don’t not care one bit if Israel seeks to exist tomorrow because I’m sick of them meddling in my country. And they only have themselves to blame.

Assume that this marriage is past tense.

Present. And my actively Jewish spouse is sick of their crap, too. We live in America and not Israel for a reason.

And she, like you, “doesn’t care if Israel [ceases] to exist”?

Strange sort of “actively Jewish” spouse you have.

Does a Jewish person HAVE to be pro Israel ?

Are the only 2 choices (1) not caring if Israel ceases to exist, or (2) being “pro Israel”?

Obviously not.

Israel is the Jewish homeland, given by God.

Please explain

Forget it, there’s nothing you can do with that.

So Jewish God couldn't clear the Palestinian for them?

Are the Jewish people God’s chosen ones and all others are subhuman animals, or are we not following those Jewish books anymore so nah?

No, the statement should be explained.

Sounds good to me. No way should students be able to take over buildings, keep threatening Jewish students on a campus in NYC????? And these students who take over the building and block access get no punishment from the University….

It doesn’t sound good for legal residents with Green Cards to get deported for free speech and assembly. Unless this guy is a Hamas affiliate or committing hate crimes against Jews (and even if he is, that still deserves due process and a court proceeding). It’s a dangerous precedent for the president to deport anyone on a whim.

This.... it's taking education to a dark place.

It's not ideology here, it's behavior. The administration is saying protests which cross into intimidation and hate speech are not going to be tolerated. If colleges permit it, whether from inattentiveness or through a mistaken belief that free speech considerations require it, or if due to institutional sympathy for the message being propagated, the federal government will not provide financial support to the platform the colleges are providing.

Universities are not free-for-all, anything-goes zones. They exist for a purpose, and that purpose is not to be a forum for the promotion of political positions through violence and intimidation towards anyone.

These actions reek of DEI, ironically.

The endless drama from those with personal investment in that part of the world is long past tiresome at this point.

Either emigrate there or STFU about the U.S. having any obligation to participate in this dysfunction.

Says the Palestinian apologist, typing from the safety of her U.S. computer!

Why don’t you repay the US for all the aid you Israeli have taken from us?

DP. Why should Israel need to repay anything? The US chose to provide foreign aid to the only representative democracy in the Middle East. It felt supporting Israel was in the US best interest. Feel free to tell your representative that you don't agree. However, election have consequences.

I guess you’re not following current events? Trump has demanded NATO and the Ukraine pay the US back. We cannot keep giving Israel, a double standard for everything. Israel must repay the US in full.

Oh in no way is Israel a democracy and supporting Israel is not in any way in the US interest. Pay up.

You may disagree with Trump, but he is the President and has decided that Israel does not need to repay anything. Also, and if you haven't noticed, Israel shares a tremendous amount of technology and intelligence with the US. So, not a double standard.

No, that isn’t true at all. All Israeli tech is derivative of far superior U.S. tech, so there is no material benefit realized by the U.S. in the current arrangement. Moreover, Israeli “intelligence” has zero value to the U.S. because it has always been (and continues to be) self-serving, manipulative noise that only puts U.S. interests at risk.

It’s a completely one-sided arrangement. Serious individuals gave up the ghost on the charade that Israel provides to the U.S. anything of value in return long ago.

Weird. The US has historically spent vastly more on the defense and military of Israel than they have on Ukraine yet Trump feels we need to continue supporting, defending and paying for Israel with no repayment whatsoever yet for Ukraine, who suffered an illegal, unwarranted invasion he demands massive repayments and concessions. Please explain how both of those can make sense at the same time.

It's usually said that God helps those who help themselves, which is what the IDF is doing.

That's apparently a work in progress, initiated by Hamas on Oct. 7.

My son is at Columbia and has two Jewish grandparents and a Jewish sounding last name. He says there IS NO issue. He has never been harassed. Tons of Arab friends.
The media (who often come from Columbia) blow it out of proportion.
Trump is obsessed with the school because he is anti intellectual and anti left wing. We might have to accept that nearly all US universities are leaning left.
