No Jew is this stupid about where they send their kids.

Not a troll and would send my kid to probably any of those. South Carolina only one that gives me pause. Anti semitism is everywhere- Ivies, Michigan, blue states and red. Some of these posters seem off their rockers. Hope they're trolls.

After Covid, many people are fed up w the blue states anyways and their craziness.

That’s the craziness they are fed up with?

OK Trumper …

Look at the states people are leaving en masse since Covid and look at which states they're moving to. U-Hauls don't lie.

big Jew fest - sorry, this made me LOL. When I was at UMd the Jews had a strong representation. Perhaps another one to consider.
Good luck!

That’s because there are more Jewish students in these schools. The ones with the fewest problems have very few Jews to be hateful towards.

Tulane and Florida have large numbers of Jews and are listed among those with the least problems. You really should inform yourself you post your bile.

Here was Tulane in October:

The anti-Semitic and pro-Palestine folks are purposely targeting non-religious schools with sizable Jewish populations. If you want a university experience free of anti-Semitism and a high degree of comfort, you'll want to be at Brandeis or Yeshiva. Or a school where the Jewish population is basically zero, because no one is "targeting" your kid there.

Anti-Semites go where they know they will have the biggest impact.

Please stop equating pro-Palestine with antisemitism. This is blatantly false.

No, it is not.

DC says the protesters on his Ivy campus are almost all POC (which surprised me) and are definitely antisemitic; they are saying horrible things, and his Jewish friends do not feel safe.

That Tulane protest was in the news in part because it was an abnormal happening. Tulane is still one of the campuses where Jews report feeling safest. My DC's NE school has ant-Israel protests on campus almost constantly.

It's Netanyahu and the barbarous IDF that has made Jewish kids unsafe on American campuses; the protestors are just reacting to what Israel has done to the Palestinians.

If you make a big deal out of a young adult potentially having to navigate around a protest at a time when thousands of innocent women and children are getting slaughtered, it really speaks volumes about your arrogance and/or lack of perspective.

On October 8 many students at elite universities blamed Israel for Hamas’ attack. Still claiming this isn’t antisemitism? Never mind, it’s always our fault when people hate us.

NP. OFC it is. And I'm sick of it b/c you're stoking the fires just as much as the other side. It's nauseating.

Can you imagine if Mexico decided they wanted Texas back and kept lobbing missiles at us and then came across the border killing, raping, and kidnapping thousands of people? We would raze any country that did that to the ground. The world might feel bad about it, but people would also say, well, they shouldn't have attacked the USA and should have known what would happen.

The Jews I know at UF hate DEI and LOVE Ron DeSantis. So factor that into your decision. If you are a committed Republican, you’ll enjoy it there.

The progressive far left, including the DEI crowd, is a hotbed of antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment now. You don't have to be a committed Republican to want to avoid them.

Anti-Semitism (which is ubiquitous on the political right and vanishingly rare on the left, with some notable, disgusting exceptions) is not the same as anti-Zionism.

I’m a Jew who became anti-Zionist while attending Hebrew U in Jerusalem and studying at Eish ha Torah yeshiva. I was recently at dinner with a reform rabbi and a couple whose daughter is in rabbinical school. I was less critical of current Israeli policy than they were.

My son, who is active in anti-occupation protests in California estimates that 60% of the students involved are Jewish.

The Gush Emunim types here in the US constantly try to conflate opposition to settler colonialism with anti-Semitism, and they make us all less safe by doing so.

No, it is not.

Thinking that supporting human rights for a group of humans is a kind of hatred is exactly the sort of disordered thinking that leads to the kind of ethnic cleansing we’re seeing in Gaza right now.

These lunatics are making me less safe, and it’s infuriating.

Why? Those school have very high number of Jews students. It is between 12% -25%. Being Jewish is better vs legacies status. Also Ackman and Zachman new campaign is about increasing those percentages. Ackman has said he would like UPenn to be at least close to 33%.

Billionaires Zuckerberg And Ackman Take On Harvard’s Board—Endorsing Their Own Candidates Amid Election Interference Claims. Billionaire Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman launched a campaign this week to replace members of Harvard’s board with their own picks, as the Ivy League’s leadership continues to face criticism following the resignation of one-year president Claudine Gay and a torrent of complaints over reports of antisemitism on campus.

So you admit these Jewish students are unsafe on college campuses, but you think threatening them is ok because they are Jews and therefore deserve to be scapegoated for whatever Israel is doing; then you mock them for making a big deal out of it. You are not only antisemitic, but not very bright. Only losers who need to scapegoat. It is not the people who are doing well in life who need to do this. Only when you have nothing going for you do you need to attack the Jews.

^^PP I should also add that I am not Jewish and just think you are a loser for scapegoating them.
