[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no anti-Semitism in universities.
There is legitimate sentiment against supporting genocide. 
Jewish students have very rarely been threatened personally and individually. If you want to cite a source of a Jewish student personally threatened on a campus, please do so. There are extremely few.

Please understand the difference.

I am largely on the same page as you that there is a middle ground. But Jews were threatened at Columbia. Not nearly to the extent that Trump wants us to believe - it was not a gigantic problem at all. But it did happen. And the university largely ignored it.

Trump's solution is not the right one. Trump should not have even been involved. Those who claim that absolutely nothing happened (I know this is not you) are putting their heads in the sand and ignoring reality. But, as I think you are saying, those who are saying it is a gigantic epidemic and huge problem are also completely wrong.

There is no middle ground these days. Everyone runs to one extreme or another. Trump chooses to deal with issues (and more often "perceived" issues) in the least delicate way possible. It would be a lot better if he started simply then escalated. But he is too dumb to do this. And unfortunately, his brain-washed followers think this is all great because they are being fed false information about what is happening to fit Trump's narrative. And no, I do not have TDS. I have a functioning brain that is able to analyze situations and think intelligently.[/quote]
