[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCLA lost in court before it settled. The chancellor testified he knew there was a "jew exclusion zone" on campus.

I am not denying that they are selectively enforcing but that isn't a legal defense.

You know what.  This is a fair point.  However, did the court also ask for $1B as part of that settlement. The point is that it is up to courts to settle civil suits.  It is not within the rights of US Government, under the direction of a dictatorial president, to selectively cut funding and ask for extortion money to double down on a court case loss.

Also, why would an attack on antisemitism require changes to trans-gender policy and DEI usage in admissions?  This has absolutely nothing to do with allowing protesters to restrict the access of Jewish people on campus.

Lastly, I agree with a PP who said that the colleges need to grow a pair and stand up to this BS.  It may take a few years, but as a united group - I think they have a very strong case against the government.  And that is even with this gerrymandered Supreme Court that the dictator set up.

+100.  Because as was shown with Columbia, it won’t stop here.  This is not now or has it ever been about anti-semitism.  And each time people fight them that is shown in court.  [/quote]

Regardless, searing resentment toward our Jewish communities will likely be the lasting product of this outrageous encroachment on the independence of our colleges and universities.

This won’t be forgotten. It doesn’t matter what the “real reason” turns out to be.

It’s being done in their name. It reinforces just about every negative stereotype in the book. And after we’ve been lectured over and over again about the evils of cancel culture and DEI, it ironically reeks of selective cancel culture and selective DEI - you know, the same exact ideas but only for “chosen people”.

How far behind China will be when this idiocy is finally derailed?[/quote]

This may be the most disheartening part of the last couple of years. I genuinely don’t get how “Never Again” became “It’s okay to perpetrate genocide if we are the ones doing it in Gaza” and “we have no issue with being used as the excuse for bringing fascism to America”.  In my mind— worse than MAGA because the Jewish people know exactly where this is leading. They just don’t care unless they are the victims.  As hypocritical as the Christian right— maybe more so.

Genocide usually doesn't give the victims an opportunity to unconditionally surrender and sue for peace.  That is called a war.[/quote]

First of all, as it relates to UCLA, the anti-semitism argument is a ruse that is really around punishment for DEI. Even you seem to be saying that.  But as for what is happening in Gaza, get your information straight and THINK.  Don’t just stick with a position because it fits your political party or chosen leader.  Hamas was indeed given a chance to “unconditionally surrender”, but the people of Gaza are not the same as Hamas. That’s like saying, the Proud Boys are a danger to society, so we are going to commit genocide on the communities where they have a large presence — innocent citizens, elderly, and children be damned. Hamas made up less than 1% of the population for the Israelis started killing the population off, so ironically that percentage is probably higher now.

It’s sickening, and anyone with a hint of compassion or empathy (especially for those unlike themselves) would see it.  Anti-DEI, anti-trans, anti-Gaza, anti-immigrant (non-white only)….you really don’t see that this is a pattern?  Not only is it a pattern, it is one that has literally shown itself the entire life of a person by the initials of DJT, who grew up the child of a racist slumlord, and used considerable resources to go after innocent kids in Central Park due to their skin color.

In this moment, it is under the ruse of tackling anti-semitism, but make no mistake that this is all part of a sick pattern against people physically unlike him and led by a man with the initials DJT.  America needs to Wake the F’ up! Actually, maybe that is what woke means….so I guess I am woke.[/quote]
