[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m honestly shocked that Chicago isn’t on the list. If you’re Zionist, a college that basically says “we have no job at protecting our students, just educating them” should be pretty scary. Chicago is all about open discourse and does not promote any moral message as an institution, it’s pretty interesting, but I’d expect that behavior to get them flagged.[/quote]

To the contrary. Institutional neutrality and encouraging open and respectful discourse is what all schools should be doing. If we all learned to have open and respectful conversations, rather than yelling hatred at each other and physically threatening those with whom we disagree, we would all be better off. [/quote]
I’m not disagreeing with this approach at all; it’s what I advocate for. But if you’re a rabid Zionist and care solely about your feelings, this approach is scary to you, and an admin coming down hard on antisemitism would not allow this to stand. [/quote]

Zionists do not care solely about their feelings. They care about Israel’s right to exist as a county and Israel’s ability to defend itself from terrorist attacks by people who call for its destruction and the death of all Jews. If the protestors at places like Columbia were not calling for death to Jews and taking up Hamas’s cause, it would have been a different story.  Interestingly, UChicago had far fewer incidents of such hatred because they promote open and respectful dialogue. I have no problem with an open and respectful conversation about the war. I do have a problem with calls for my death.[/quote]
