Yes there are exceptions, but the overall trend is clear.

At that rally where the Columbia professor spoke, there were no political signs. There were candles and pictures of people who are being held hostage by Hamas.

What's your data to back that up? Your feelings?

My eyes and my ability to read about what’s been happening.

NP. Agree completely.

The level of support on college campuses for Hamas - a designated terrorist organization- is irrefutable and horrendous.

And, more about this person:

Since that Oct. 10 post and others drew attention on the platform formerly known as Twitter, Decristo made her account private. The bio, which remains visible, describes her account as “black anarchist dyke things.”

Her profile on the UC Davis website appears to have been scrubbed. Before it was taken down, her bio read: “I am an Assistant Professor in American Studies. I focus on the interplay between sound, race, gender, and embodiment.”

Decristo and UC Davis did not respond to a request for comment.

In another post to X, Decristo wrote, “to the US embassy. US out of everywhere. US GO HOME. US GO HOME” along with three fire emojis. The post was in response to another post showing protestors marching towards the U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.

In yet another post to X, the professor celebrated the fire set at the Israeli embassy in Jordan, responding to the news with “HELL YEAH” and three Palestinian flag emojis.

This is frightening. It appears some of these universities are radicalizing students like a few of the mosques do.
How does this person even have a job here?

OMG - is this person even still employed at UC Davis?

And isn’t making terroristic threats a felony? Why haven’t they been arrested / charged??

Here's a paragraph everyone should read to understand how classic antisemitism fundamentally informs anti-Israel attitudes:

Today, your progressive friends need a scapegoat. For imperialism, for colonialism, for white supremacy. For the indelible sins etched into their own histories. Will they leave their own “settler-colonies”? Will they stick out their own necks to be cut by the “oppressed”? No. They’ll outsource that to Jews, in keeping with a tradition based on a Jew who was tortured to death to absolve us of all sin. A Jew whose death may have been tragic, but was also necessary to redeem the world.

I’m not Jewish but thought that was a very good article as a formerly leftist woman watching the surge of misogyny in progressives with dismay.

So what do you consider yourself now?

Moderate independent. I am in the process of changing my political party affiliation to independent versus Democrat, and I have stopped my political donations to Democrats for the most part. There are some isolated instances where I still donate to Democrats, but they are limited.

This is what I don’t understand. Why on earth does the LGBTQ community - and liberals in general - support Palestine, a place that despises LGBTQ people and executes them? It makes zero sense.

Muslim culture is very conservative. Why is Islam the pet religion of the left? It's very stupid.

Because they are "brown people" and everything is viewed through the lens of white supremacy and colonialism.

How do you not look at Palestinians through a white supremacy and colonial lense?

I am in the same process, but it's because I think Biden sending arms to Israel is beyond the pale.

Because:

1. Jews aren’t white.

2. Colonialism involves seizing land you have no claim to at all and occupying it usually for imperial purposes. Jews have always lived on that land and had an independent kingdom for hundreds of years. Jews have no imperial ambitions and in fact were running from hundreds of years of oppression to reestablish a governing entity that had been taken from us by imperial powers (Romans).

3. White supremacist colonialism has as part of its aim the spreading of “white civilization” and usually Christianity. Jews have never been part of white civilization and were not trying to even spread Judaism. We don’t proselytize so it would make no sense. We were trying to go back to our homeland so we could be safe.

Looking at this through the lens of white supremacy and colonialism ascribes completely inaccurate identity to Jews and gives us massively more power than we had.

If you honestly think Jews right after the Holocaust are akin to Brits or Spaniards building empires in India or the Northern Hemisphere for “gold, god, and glory” then I’m afraid your critical thinking skills are scarily absent.

None of this is to excuse poor treatment of Palestinian Arabs. But one can condemn that poor treatment without overlaying a deeply inaccurate framework onto this situation.

You can look at it through multiple lenses. If you primarily adopt the white supremacy lens and pit Israel as "white" and Palestine as "brown", then you'll be very permissive toward aggression from one side vs another. It's very reductive, but I was just answering the question.

It’s also completely wrong. Neither are white and neither are brown.

Interestingly, Biden’s ability to unequivocally and clearly state that the people who torture and burn children alive are evil has made me wonder whether I should change or not. He exhibited decency and moral clarity that I thought the progressive left had stamped out of the Democrats entirely.

JFC - Jews are not colonial occupiers. They are one of the ingenious people of that part of the world who from an archeological and historical perspective have roots that preceded the arrival of Muslims and people who comprise Palestine. They are also not universally white. And while we’re at it Israel doesn’t occupy Gaza and not all Jews are Israeli.

Good grief, the combination of historical ignorance and antisemitism is astounding.

Essentially no Jews are white. Ashkenazi Jews have some European background, but not enough for us to register as German or French or Russian or whatever in genetic testing. We are largely Middle Eastern in background.

The only Jews I’d say are fully white are any white people who converted.
