NP. So why as a form of protest are you against people asking the campus Hillel groups to divest from Hillel international until they stop supporting the actions of the Israeli govt? As you say, plenty of Israeli people are protesting against the Israeli govt in Israel. The request is not anti Semitic. It’s yet another way to out pressure on the current govt. For the record, I strongly think this is a two way street. I believe the protestors who are connected to Hamas should be called out. And counter-protestors are not only in the right, but I would argue have an obligation to point this out and ask protest groups/palestinian support groups etc to divest financially and from using the symbols of Hamas (like the picture of the guy with the terrorist headband). |
I agree with the bolded. Creating a safe space and community for Jewish students has nothing to do with the actions of Israel. Which is why asking campus Hillel groups to divest from Israel has nothing to do with the Jewish students. |
Or how about calling for all Newman centers to dissociate from the Catholic Church? Right? |
where do you see hillel as being fans of netanyahu?! here are their guidelines - please point me to the part that you think means they want a one state solution because that isn't my experience with hillel and i don't see it anywhere. https://www.hillel.org/israel-guidelines/ |
Their families clearly didn't teach them at home to clean up after themselves. Find those parents and charge them.? |
There doesn't seem to be any point in arguing with progressives. For them, Hillel is the same as Hamas. In fact, Hillel is worse because it apparently supports genocide, whereas Hamas is merely a resistance movement. |
Today, around a hundred students assembled at UT, protested for a few hours, and dispersed without incident. Looks like UT has handled this the right way.
I’ll be surprised if this gets any national coverage. https://x.com/thedailytexan/status/1787169510316818529?s=61&t=txL8mt-h7Q8BLpSNAiAzrQ https://x.com/thedailytexan/status/1787191507725791383?s=61&t=txL8mt-h7Q8BLpSNAiAzrQ |
"In Nazi Germany, children chanted "Juden Raus" (Jews out!) at rallies and even had a board game of the same title." This. The idea of Jewish guilt is foundational in Western Civilization. Times are tough, people are frustrated? Then look no further than your favorite scapegoates! Fill in the blank with heinous crime and accuse the Jews of it! Then the pressured rumor mill will take over and convince the community of the good that it is obligatory... even righteous(!) that they destroy the Jews before the Jews destroy everything they hold dear. It's a traditional bonding exercise! A team building activity! |
Such a stupid trope. The police move in, destroy the encampment, arrest the students and you are complaining about the mess left behind? It was left behind by the police not the students. |
Such a bizarre argument. Please don’t try to bring your Christian analogs to this discussion because they are inappropriate in ways you don’t even see |
Shame on UT for not protecting their Jewish students and letting Hamas just openly terrorize the campus. |
No, it would be like calling for them to dissociate with France or maybe the Vatican City. Nobody is demanding Hillel end its association with Judaism or discontinue supporting Jewish students. This inability to distinguish between an individual’s Jewish identity and the State of Israel is disturbing. |
You might believe in unicorns too, but that does not mean they exist. None of the protestors are objecting whatsoever to the protestors who support Hamas, including explicitly. That hasn’t changed since 10/7. |
All that crap didn't need to be there in the first place (including they're own in buckets). And it doesn't explain all the graffiti on the stone and brickwork. |
