[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good piece by Wesleyan president in the NYT today. I’m moved by the protestors although I feel like I can’t admit that to many/most of my Jewish friends. [/quote]

I also read it. The issue is that he is wrong: These students are not informed, inquiring minds. They are easily-influenced pawns of dangerous online disinformation, and he is allowing that to flourish and praising it. When questioned about why they are protesting, many of them don't have any basic knowledge of the conflict at all and just parrot what they saw in a post on instagram. "Intellectual freedom" without facts is basically the exact same as MAGA on the right. It's troubling a university President doesn't realize this.[/quote]

They are witnessing a genocide and are refusing to simply accept it. You are the one that has been brainwashed, like most of us raised in the US.[/quote]

If they actually cared about genocide they would protest about a genocide occurring right now. They're not.[/quote]
