[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The second antisemitism report from Columbia was hard to read.  How awful.[/quote]

Seems like a walk through Central Park compared to what the children of Gaza are going through...[/quote]

In all seriousness, this is an argument I don't understand. None of the Jewish students are responsible for the choices being made by the Israeli government or the IDF. So why is it ok for them to be intimidated, threatened, kicked out of clubs and organizations, targeted by professors, etc? Why does the behavior of a government and army they don't control invalidate their basic rights on campus? If you read the report, many of the examples have nothing to do with students speaking out about anything. They were just going about life on campus as Jews. So is the argument you are making that simply being Jewish means that they deserve to be treated differently and if they speak up about it their experiences their complaints are invalid because Gazans have it worse?[/quote]
