[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jewish alum from Northwestern, with a Jewish kid at Northwestern right now. Northwestern is INCREDIBLY safe for Jewish students. It's not only located in a heavily Jewish area, population-wise, several of its hallmark programs and schools are named after Jewish donors, the current president is Jewish -- as were the last two presidents.

[b]Being anti-genocide and protesting peacefully to that end is NOT antisemitic. It's really disheartening to see so many Jewish alums, both at NU and at other institutions, make these conflations.[/b]

Heck, this video was taken at Northwestern: https://twitter.com/TalbertSwan/status/1784412078704337009

But to answer your question, OP, Northwestern. Hands down.[/quote]

+1 - In also Jewish and deeply Zionist. I’m also very comfortable with peaceful protests, even when I disagree with their mission. To me, that is 100% American, and more broadly, a feature of a healthy democracy.

I protested Netanyahu this past summer in Tel Aviv. Many of my Israeli friends disagreed, but no one tried to shame me out of attending, let along tried to shut the protests down. Democracy means allowing differences of opinion - even when you disagree and it feels uncomfortable. (But uncomfortable does not automatically mean insane.) [/quote]
