But why are you okay standing up for all those other groups but not Jewish people? Reflect on that, please. The issue here is that universities, by and large, are not doing enough to protect Jewish students from the outright hatred and threats from their peers, and frankly, faculty. Why is this hard for them to do? Anti-semitism, that's why. Why are you afraid to name it? |

Yep - the dad is already going with the severe depression angle. He needs to be held accountable. He wasn't what I was expecting either. |

Which Florida campuses have students posting signs, marching, shouting, etc and calling for the murder of gays or any other oppressed communities? |

DP. I will answer for PP: none. university of Florida is perfectly safe for LGTBQIA+ students. To that PP: stop lying and spreading false fears. |

Excellent article. Very fascinating to read about this. This really is brainwashing. It's also fascinating because if this lady was able to do this with Anti-Semitism, I can see how others of her ilk could do something like this with the trans movement. In the sense of starting this "theory" or whatver you want to call it and watching it grow/brainwash the young. |

I'm not criticizing what Cornell did. Thankfully, law enforcement has the perpetrator. But what of the other univerisities? What is happening on campuses that has emboldened racist professors to make Jewish kids stand in a corner during class to humiliate them? Why are Jewish kids at NYU chased by a mob and told to shelter in the library? Why are hateful people screaming at Jewish students and tearing down missing person signs? Why are swastikas and nooses all over campus at Jewish organization? The climate on campus is out of control. It must not be tolerated. It is not okay. Full stop. No one should want to see anyone suffer. I sure don't. Not the Palestinians or the Jews. Sad thing is, too many of these protests are not about Palestinans at all. Its anti-semitism and hate straight up. How can there be any hope for peace if there is so much hate and lack of basic civility or humanity? Free speech? Fine, right up until the moment it tramples the rights of others. All Americans should be concerned about this. Worst part is far too many people are sitting back, shrugging shoulders, like, oh well. Because this time it is the Jews. |

How much of an “angle” is it? The kid missed two semesters in a row with mental health issues. |

He needs to be locked up for a long time. He is a threat to society. His posts were so specific and detailed and violent and disgusting and he is a threat to all society not just jewish students. If he is not locked up he will kill someone. When someone tells you who they are believe them. |

I am a Cornell alum and parent, and I will criticize what Cornell did. There were a series of anti-semitic incidents on campus, preceding the horrific online threats, where the Cornell administration’s response was weak and tepid. I am not just referring to the incident with Rickford; there were others as well. An atmosphere was created that allowed people to feel comfortable to express anti-semitic views. Also, the statement that President Pollack issued after October 7 was so bad and mealy-mouthed that she had to issue a second statement almost immediately thereafter. |

Franciscan University in Steubenville is a standout in support for Jewish students right now. |

Florida passed 7 anti-LGBTQ bills in 2023 alone, including a law allowing healthcare providers to deny care to gay people. They also passed a bill making it illegal for cities to pass protections for gay rights. The Nazis who have been protesting all over Florida for the last two years - and whom the DeSantis administration has repeatedly and pointed refused to condemn call - for the murder of LGBTQ and Black people in addition to Jews. Governor DeSantis has also publicly claimed that ALL Palestinians are anti-Semitic and called for them not to be allowed into the US as refugees. This is tantamount to calling for their murder as Gaza civilian populations are being bombed. |
