Sasse is awesome. He understands the Constitution and can explain it in a way that anyone can understand.
Other university presidents could learn from him.

Great. They are welcome to write how they feel and their thoughts on the mattter.

Other Jewish people on campus feel differently and some have participated in the protests, like Jonathan Ben-Menachem. You can read his article here:

I notice how the writers of this piece refer to people like Jonathan as "our Jewish peers who tokenize themselves"

You can notice all kinds of things, and keep not noticing the Jew hatred that's been unleashed since Hamas slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped 1200 Israelis on Oct 7.

+1 He's a wonderful combination of being highly intelligent and normal. Not a weird guy like some folks in high level academia.

The more you ignore and refuse to acknowledge the massive imbalance in atrocities committed by the Israeli side in this conflict, the less people hear you.

The more you ignore and refuse to acknowledge those atrocities and instead propagate false claims regarding the events of 10/7, the less people see you.

And the more you do both of those things while demanding that others focus only on YOUR interests and irrational feelings, the less people care about you at all.

People couldn't care less about us. That became clear on 10/8.

Articulate, courageous and principled, true leadership in action. Nothing more worthy in this life than fighting to uphold principles and human rights that have taken centuries and millions of lost lives to secure.

Seven months into the war, the only glue holding the members of this Israeli cult together remains a fathomless hatred for anything they see as 'leftist' Why should we keep pretending? The gang from Channel 14 TV and die-hard fans of Benjamin Netanyahu would be very happy for the hostages to die in captivity

This could never be published in the US. We do not have the freedom to criticize Israel. Though there are not leftists or moderates left in Israel.


Paywall. Can you share in full

These are PR games, nothing else. The only loss that a certain faction of Jews face is loss of immense power and influence.

Combine the sheep culture they grew up in fostered by social media, the intellectually lazy DEI curriculum they experienced in their schooling, and the larger oversimplified “us v them” dynamic we are all living in - and what results? They are now the tools of foreign interests. Some/most have good intentions to right the injustices they see, but have such a gap in historical & geopolitical understanding. And again, this is not a generation that was ever taught to cultivate their complex thinking skills. We have entered very dangerous times.


So you think protesting Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity make someone tools of foreign interest? Hallelujah right now we get it all praised then I go through and stuff you’re not gonna use get rid of online stuff. Israel is a foreign country. You are under its influence. It is you who are the stooge for a foreign country. You are the useful idiot and the sheep.

It is scary to hear people like yourself who are clearly are a thrall to Israel and would gladly throw everything this country stand for under the bus for Israel to talk about re- education of people you disagree with. Israel is an unimportant country and is not even self sustainable without the US’s constant intervention.


This is lacking in coherence but I’ll try to reply nonetheless. I never said a word about Israel. Not one. In fact I had little sympathy for Israel until Oct 7. It’s obvious there is TERRORIST propaganda at play here. These young people responding to the atrocities of war is understandable. War is horrible and disgusting. The region needs peace and a two-state solution. This is decades overdue. Netanyahu must go. And Hama must go. Nevertheless, these children just don’t understand the complexities of the situation for all of the reasons I have already stated and will not repeat. You are a perfect example of simpleton binary thinking. Go educate yourself, work on your thinking skills and come back ready when you are for an open and authentic conversation.

When you say this, you lose ALL credibility. I had little sympathy for Israel until Oct 7. We can see with our own eyes what occurred, recorded by the perpetrators.
And yes, the land grabs by Israel prior and the killing now is wrong and horrific and must stop. I CAN say that both things are true, but apparently you cannot.

This can never be shared in the US because, unlike Israel, US is the seat of power. Narratives like this or the college protests are deeply threatening to the power class.
