Will my Jewish child be safe on a university campus next year?

[Anonymous]

Jews may feel the need to be a bit more careful to read the room. 6 million were exterminated not so long ago. We say never again…

Dartmouth and Brown have both responded in a way that aligns more with our values. The whole Ivy League is not rotten.

Why should a university comment on international events? They are not players in the dispute nor heads of state.

This is like saying a black parent shouldn't shield their kid from attending a school which allows KKK rallies. "No worries, they're just holding a social debate where one side cheers the massacre of people like you."

It does not help your child to pretend everyone is in the same page.

I fear violence, not debate.

This isn’t about being in the same page, it is about antisemitism.

I certainly wouldn’t send my black child to a school that has an active KKK presence. I guess the same could be said for an active hamas presence. But there are not active hamas groups on college campuses in the US. Simply expressing support for Palestinians is far from supporting Hamas.

When you immediately celebrate the murder of 1400 civilians by waving flags and releasing statements calling it legitimate resistance....yes, you are supporting Hamas.

Which school did that?

Harvard.

If diversity means students support an end to an apartheid state then good for GMU!

When I see "Palestine support demonstration", I read it as "terrorist sympathizers".

And what do you think that says about you? You can’t see a single Palestinian as human and only see them as terrorists.

Ummm. I’m reading their signs.

It's pretty blatant unless one puts their head in the sand or is good with the message. Some of these responses tells me it's probably the latter.

Oh please!!!! I have certainly never thought or said anything against Jews in America or anywhere else in the world. But you are being very dishonest in treating this latest terrorist attack as an isolated incident and like the Israeli government policies had nothing to do with it. Perhaps you are the one with your head in the sand. I’m neither Jewish nor Palestinian btw. But the world is watching you too.

Not Jewish but ding, ding, ding...you made the point. All the cool kids are down with "from the river to the sea"...seems like you are too.

You’re equating people who support Palestines with . . . the KKK?

And one chants "from the river to the sea" has killing all Jews as a part of their charter and enterd on a Saturday morning in October and slaughtered children, women, and men. You apologists are disgusting.

Agree.

So you think that Harvard should have stayed silent when the students engaged in an antisemitic protest?

That's what I think as a general matter. But they commented on Roe v Wade and George Floyd so now they've opened the gates.
